The Name Game

(noun) The socially instinctive ritual where you start dropping names in rapid-fire succession upon discovering someone shares your hometown, school, or social circle. It's a subtle way of determining if you vibe with this new acquaintance based on mutual connections.

For example: "Oh, you're from Darien? Do you know Brian Minicus?" “Yeah, we played lacrosse together! Sick dude. What’d you say your name was?”

The Name Game isn’t just about finding common ground; it’s a quick and dirty method to gauge if this person is your kind of normal. It's practically a human nature litmus test.
Omg, I met your friend Trisha and we played the name game and realized she’s roommates with Claire’s older sister!
