and start a baby name game?

This is something I pinched from another site and the game is called "congratulations"

Each round I'll randomise whether you have a boy, a girl, twins or none.

You then use each rounds rules to name the baby with a first name and a middle name.

I.e.

First: Must start with a J
Middle: Must be of Italian origin

Get it? Want to play?

"sign up" and I'll post the first round in due course

OK, I'm game, especially as you said Italian!

Hullygully · 26/03/2010 23:35

It's far too complicated

ChynaDoll2006 · 26/03/2010 23:58

up for it

Too drunk .sorry

gerontius · 27/03/2010 00:17

I don't get it.

juneybean · 27/03/2010 00:19

Well once I get a couple more "players" ...

I'll randomly pick their first borns so Italiangreyhound might have a daughter first so she uses the first rounds rules to name the baby, so using the rules in my OP, Jessica Gabriela ?

I'll give it a go, as long as you don't call me thick if I get the origin of a name wrong!

juneybean · 27/03/2010 12:30

Nah I'm not strict I promise! I just thought it'd bring a new dimension to the naming area!

Might as well start?

Round 1 Rules
First Name: Must be in the Top 20 for your birth year -> www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ (scroll down the bottom to be able to change year!)
Second Name: Must start with the third letter of the name you chose above

Italiangreyhound has had a girl.

ChynaDoll2006 has had a boy.

Wanderingsheep has had a girl.

juneybean has had a boy.

Hope I've not made it too difficult lol
