[Games] Mar's Congrats Game (round 5)
Welcome everyone to the fifth round of Mar’s Congrats Game!
Everyone adopted this round and got children in accordance with the sheet they filled out last time. Everyone got a wildcard as well. You can use this wildcard at any point in the game, so you do not have to use it right away and you do not have to use it at all if you don’t want to. The wildcard will stay with you until you use it. It won’t expire or anything and it’s likely that a few round from now, I might give out a new batch of wildcards. I tried to quickly describe what I meant with each wildcard, but if you still have questions about it, please let me know!!
Naming rules this round:
- Use the guidelines in the adoption remark. They’re rough guidelines with plenty of room for interpretation.
Questions for next round:
Choose one of these phrases:
“Accidents happen”
“I’m afraid we have to”
“Someone’s in the wardrobe”
“The more, the merrier”
“Everyone’s welcome”
Which naming rules would you like for next round’s newborns? (choose one)
1 Namebank
2 Making a full name out of a nickname
3 Naming rules
4 A combination of a namebank and naming rules
5 A combination of a nickname and a namebank
6 A combination of a nickname and naming rules

DD: Leocadia Sigrid Lockwood “Leo”
DS/DS: Evan Matthias Lockwood & Aric Joshua LockwoodIguana: SirOdessa and Toby kept Lavanya's first name, since she was attached to it and had grown up with it her entire life, but will call her "Anya" for short. They gave her the middle name Cloelia to match her beautiful FN. When Anya's daughter was born, Anya wanted her to have two MN's to honour her new parents. Toby said there was feminine version of his FN, but Fiona was a feminine version of Finnegan, his MN. But Odessa didn't really know what to say - Odessa and Wren doesn't really have obvious variations of them. On the other hand, Odessa knew her name was related to Odysseus, and as Anya read the Odyssey, she grew fond of the main female character, Penelope. Hence she gave that name to her daughter. It flowed really well with her Indian FN. For now, I'm saving my wildcard:
