The Name Elimination Game

[Lilka]

This is quite an interesting game to play - try it!!

You get a list of one name for each letter of the alphabet. Can be either boy or girl names.

The next person to post eliminates the name they like the least, and states why they eliminated it (please no nasty insults here e.g. that name is disgusting). Copy the modified list under you eliminated name so the next poster can follow on.

This then continues until there is only one name left, whuch is the winning name.

Then you can start a new list off with completely different names. Hopefully may give people some new name ideas. After a couple of rounds we may have to eliminate certain letters of the alphabet that are hard to find names for :)

Here is the list:

Adam
Brandon
Caden

Away with Suraya.

Isn't Lorian a car? Or was that Delorian? Either way it must go......

no! Lorian is my favourite on the list!! It means Moon Maiden. I think it's cornish.

and you have to type out the listwith your chosen name omitted.

Funny you should say that cortina
um cortina is a car or was when i was a kid anyway, made by Ford!

Do people just not get that they have to copy and pasted the list!

Funny you say that, Lazycow, I was just musing on pots and kettles!

However, for the same reason I am binning Zaria, which also sounds like a make of car. Something enormous and lumbering which you have to get once you have 3 or more children.

Out with Barnaby, it sounds quite a drippy name to me:

I had already omitted a name from this list several posts back haliborange so didn't think it fair i take another go if that is what you were refering to by pots and kettles

India is out. Love the country but not as a name.

(anyway, I reckon noone really minds if you take a couple of turns!)
