Cause the last one is so far away!

A brief description of Keep/Change, for those who haven't played before:

---

The first poster puts up four combos. For example:

---

"Andrew George
Dominik Diamond
Chewie Louie
Karlos Perseus"

---

The second poster can do four things:
1. S/He can swap one of the combos around.
2. S/He can keep the first name in one combo and change the middle name to whatever s/he wants.
3. S/He can change the first name in one combo to whatever s/he wants and keep the middle name.
4. S/He can keep the initials of a combo, but choose new names for each letter.

---

So, let's put this into pratice. Remember the first person's names? They were:

---

"Andrew George
Dominik Diamond
Chewie Louie
Karlos Perseus"

---

So the second poster comes along, and messes them about a bit.

---

Andrew George - "Hmm. Well, I like both names, but not in that order, so I'm going to fiddle them about here and swap them round to: George Andrew." (swapped)
Dominik Diamond - "I'm a complete Dominik fanatic! However, "Diamond" is a girl's name. It has to go. I think I'll change "Diamond" to "Archibald" to create: Dominik Archibald." (kept FN, changed MN)
Chewie Louie - "Chewie? What kind of a name is that? I'm going to throw in the much more sensible option of Francis, to make: Francis Louie." (changed FN, kept MN)
Karlos Perseus - "No no no! That's awful. I'll keep the initials, though, and make a much nicer combo: Killian Patrick." (kept initials - of course, someone'll have to get Patrick in :-P)

---

Of course, most people aren't going to write a little essay to accompany each name (unless they are compelled to). What you'll probably see in the second post is:

---

"George Andrew (swapped)
Dominik Archibald (kept FN)
Francis Louie (kept MN)
Killian Patrick (kept initials)"

---

You can only do each thing once - i.e., you can't choose to change all the first names and keep all the middle names, you can only do that with one name. And you have to change each name - you can't just leave it alone.

Most of you, of course, are lucky enough to know how to play Keep/Change without having to make head or tail of my instructions. ^ ^

---

It's girl's combos, this time, as the last one was male, I think.

Faith Emily
Josephine Jolie
Ivy Adamina
Rosemary Louisa

Have fun! :-)
