Ask each guest to pick out a baby name for a boy and girl (if baby sex is known, have guests pick a first and middle name). Have them write the names down on a piece of paper. Now instruct them that they are to try to find words that can be made from the names. Then give them a certain amount of time (you can decide on time) to write down as many words as they can think of. At the end of the time people total up the number of words they have and the one who came up with the most combinations wins. Important: do not tell them what the names are for until *after* they have chosen the names. This will give the game an added twist as those with short names will be begging to choose again and long names will have more to choose from. If the guests want, you can play this game again after they know how it works and see just how long the names are the second time.
Example: Susan - Alexander
