The Great Boy's Name Challenge
Posted: 18 Sep 2009, 02:49
Enchilado's Great: Boy's Name Challenge!
== a player-hosted TMW event ==
This challenge will have a prize for the winner, provided they abide the rules. It won't be for a fortnight or so, though, because I'm on holiday and won't be able to play TMW 'til then.
So:
Players take turns saying boy's names. The first player should think of names starting with A, the second player should think of those starting with B and so on. A player may make one post on this thread and one only. Only the first post made by a player will count.
On one post, a player may name as many names as he can think of. However:
1) He may use shortened forms or full ones, but not both. Eg, 'Benjamin' and 'Ben' would only score 1 point. Indeed, 'Edward', 'Ed', 'Eddie', 'Ned' and 'Edster' would only score 1.
2) Any names which are not counted by me as real will not count. Eg, something which could, techincally speaking, by used as a name, but which I think either a) would never really be used or b) sounds stupid.
3) Any evidence that a player has used http://www.babynames.com/ to find their names will result in immediate disqualifacation.
The player who thinks of the most names in their post wins!
~Have fun, and good luck.
