First post of this series, with longer explanation, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can choose any number of siblings, any number of boys\/girls. This might be TOO broad in scope and, as we play, we might come up with better guidelines. But for now, the idea is that we are imagining a little sibling set of children (they do not have to be our own children), and all of their names are going to start with the same letter, and we will just see how things go from there. As before, you can say as much or as little as you like about your decision-making process, and you can choose multiple sibling sets (“This is what I’d choose for two girls, this is what I’d choose for three boys, this is what I’d choose for one boy and one girl…”) or just one—whatever is most fun \/ whatever you have the time and energy for on that particular day. I liked the idea some people had of re-naming their actual children with matching initials. (I am not going to attempt that with the more difficult letters.)<\/p>\n

Today we work on the letter Y. When we played the previous game with Y<\/a>, I chose Yvonne for a girl and Yates (in honor of Sally Yates<\/a>) for a boy, and I like those fine as a sibling set: I can see it either as an advantage or as a disadvantage that the Y-sound is not pronounced the same. If I WANTED to have matching starting sounds, I would be pretty happy with Yasmin and Yates. I wanted to come up with more sibling sets, but there are so few Y names.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
