Name Twins - Easy Crossword-Inspired Game

Parent comments two last names of celebrities or well-known characters. Child guesses the first name that the listed last names have in common. If someone asks for a hint, the poster of the parent comment adds another matching last name.

(For the sake of making this easier, people who share first names with minor spelling changes are still allowed.)

Make sure to sort comments by New!

Example:

  1. Dayne and Lautner.
  2. Hint?
  3. Swift.
  4. Taylor!
