What's in a Name?
So there's a new feature on the SR website this year--a random name generator. This was an NYPL thing meant to protect users' privacy and it will likely result in many forgotten names and mass chaos.
BUT!!
Think of the fun you and your teens could have. There are lots of creative arts and writing projects inherent in a random name generator that's formatted like this one. Have your teens draw their names and hang the drawings around your space. Create a story chain involving the characters. You don't even have to use the names you have--build on it and have fun.
Oh! Have the teens create one of those books where the page is cut in parts and you can flip them so it could have a person's head/bird's body/lion's feet (etc) using the generated names.
Think of it this way--if you're going to spend your summer looking up silly names, shouldn't someone get a laugh out of it?
