This game has two components to it. The first component is to select a 'Spouse1' and a 'Spouse2' for each 'Family' from the list below. Yes, there are more spouses then families, and I did this intentionally so that there would be choices for everybody. (If you chose, you can take the remaining spouses and form a final family.) The second component is to find names for the children of the 'Family' based in part on the information you have on each spouse and in part on the rules provided for that child (FN and MN rules are separated by a period [.]). If you want to add a second MN to any family, feel free. Have fun!

Rules: Everything is flexible and I encourage you to bend whatever rules you need to to make it work, while still having fun and being challenged. Feel free to add ages or story-lines to your families :)

Spouses

---

Spouse: Quinton Gabriel Quigley
Quinton likes names that are surnames, occupational names, and unisex-trendy names... for both girls and boys. If he has his way, you won't be able to tell the gender of his children based solely upon the names!

---

Spouse: Vince Steven Van Der Stoep
Vince' father is Dutch and his mother is Norwegian. Vince was raised all over the world, but especially enjoyed his time in the Scandinavian countries. As such, names that are popular in these countries, or are of these origins are what he plans on using on his children.

---

Spouse: Rudy Eduardo Rodrigues
Rudy has a mutt-sort of heritage, but Spanish and Italian are the cultures he identifies with most. As such, he plans on using either Spanish or Italian names on his children.

---

Spouse: Taylor Anthony Troelsen
Taylor likes names that are trending popular in England and names that have been used on those with Royal heritage... and it doesn't matter what the culture is so long as it's "Royal".

---

Spouse: Heather Stephanie Hathaway
Heather loves her name, but hates that it is so obviously dated. She plans on using timeless classic names to avoid this with her children. She would also like the boys to have masculine names and the girls to have feminine names.

---

Spouse: Colleen Joyce Connolly
Colleen's family has Irish/Celtic roots, but she is throughly American. However, she loves her heritage and plans to try and use Celtic names for her children. They will, however, be Anglicized versions of the names.

---

Spouse: Mamie Larue Montreuil
Mamie grew up in Louisiana and loves names with a southern/French feel, along with quirky names and names from Mythology. The less known a name is, the better she likes it (but is MUST be a name for her to like it).

---

Spouse: Luna Evangelina Levine
Luna was just becoming a teen when Harry Potter came out. She immediately fell in love with the stories and was thrilled when she found the character Luna in the story. It's forever changed her view on names. She plans on using quirky, little used names from fantasy novels.
