NAME THE OCTUPLETS
Eight little ones were recently born in Southern California to parents who are avoiding the limelight. The 2 girls and 6 boys are being referred to as Baby A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. What would you name 8 children?
EASY VERSION Pick any 8 names or nicknames for your choice of boys and/or girls.
MEDIUM VERSION Pick first (and if you want, middle) names for 2 girls and 6 boys OR 6 girls and 2 boys.
ADVANCED VERSION Pick 2 or 3 names each for 2 girls and 6 boys.
The beauty of this game is you don’t have to take dad’s opinion into account, it doesn’t matter that your mother doesn’t like the name, or that Great-Grandma from the Old Country can’t pronounce it.
Need ideas to get started?
NATURE NAMES such as flowers, gems, colors, sky, water and earth
VIRTUE or RELIGIOUS NAMES, Biblical or saint names
UNISEX NAMES or SURNAMES
MYTHOLOGICAL, LITERARY or MUSICAL NAMES
DAY or TIME NAMES such as day of the week, time of day, weather, month or season
PLACE NAMES such as cities, countries, or mountain ranges
FOREIGN LANGUAGE perhaps to go with your heritage: Assyrian, French, German, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Scandinavian, Spanish
NAME AFTER SOMEBODY – sports figures, entertainers, names from your family tree.

Melissa, I noticed you and I both like Liam and Benjamin, plus we chose different versions of two timeless names: Alejandro / Alex and Charlie / Carlos
Casey, Maeve is a beautiful one-syllable name that I would love to see more people in our area use as a middle name. I think it combines very well with lots of names and would be a good alternative to the more common Marie or Mae.
I love old names so names like Claire and Olivia jump out at me for girls.
Boy names are a whole other story. We never did really fall in love with boys names when I was pregnant. Good thing we didn't have boys. I like the names Liam, Charlie, Aiden, Alex, Benjamin...and I'm blanking on the last.
1. Melina Belén
2. Felicity Katarina
3. Juan Carlos – use both names
4. Jose Luis – use both names
5. Benjamín Joseph
6. Matthew Armando
7. Eric Steven
8. Liam Alejandro
kewl - i like name games
i'll do 4 boys and 4 girls
boys: Seth and Jared are biblical and Corbin and Ewan cuz i like them. for middle names, not sure what to combine with but i like short names like Bram, Zane, Dirk and Vaughan.
girls: Jerusha and Tirzah are two biblical names i like plus the other two would be Phoebe and Flavia. How often do you hear those? Middles for girls would be other unpopular names like Elinor and Maeve, Romilly and Liberty.
tomorrow i might want to use the middle names as first names instead :-)
