Vowel Name Game

[bromios]

Vowel intensive names! See what you can do with a set of 6 children, fns and mns, any sexes. Scoring works thus: subtract the number of consonants from the number of vowels (so, for example, Aurora = 2pts, Aurelia = 3pts).

Aoife Iona = 5pts

Aurelia Eos = 4pts

Alice Iole = 3pts

Iael Oona =4pts

Iulia Anais = 4pts

Etienne Auberon = 2pts



Total: 22pts

I wasn't counting it as a vowel, but I suppose we could for the sake of argument.

I'd count it as a vowel when used to make a vowel sound like in Amy, but a consonant sound like in Yam.
