I was very surprised at the amount of replies I got to the last game and enjoyed reading all of the responses greatly. Since it did considerably well I thought to continue doing the name games.

For boys the first name must be a name that is more commonly used for girls, like Ruby or Ariel, and the middle name has to be from an animated film.

For girls the first name has to be something commonly used in perfumes or essential oils, like Orange, Cinnamon, or Lavender, and the middle name must be the name of a famous Queen or Empress, real or legendary.

My answers: Juniper Haku and Vanilla Jitō.

WINNERS: Bergamot Poppaea and Avalon Dash
2nd Place: Magnolia Antoinette and Greer Cogsworth

I thought it would be fun to do a name game, and if people like it, we’ll do more! After a few people put up their combos I’ll pick a favorite boy and a favorite girl combination.

For the boy, the first name must be a place-name, and the middle name must be the last name of an old actor ala James Dean or Vivien Leigh.

For the girl the first name must be a literary name, and the middle name must be a wild made up combination like Wildmary or Snowfinch.

My answers: Toulouse Gable and Ophelia Roseblush

I look forward to reading everyone’s replies

WINNERS: Vesper Nightplum and Mazières Humphrey.
2nd Place: Sidonie Wintereve and Quincy Chaplin

Thanks so much for playing!
