Introductions
What do you call your family group chat names? If you don’t have one, it’s a fabulous way to stay connected, without a lot of pressure. My family has a chat that includes me, my husband and our three adult kids along with my 89-year-old mom. Mom’s not terribly adept at iPhones so her texts often make us laugh especially when she uses emojis correctly.
We call our thread Nuclear Family which, judging by some of the names below, is neither terribly unique nor terribly creative. Sometimes it’s challenging to come up with a name that everyone can agree on. We wanted to give you some ideas for your own thread. So, we asked in our Grown and Flown Parents group of over 260 thousand and found out that so many of you are really, really clever.
You have all kinds of super ideas for what to name your family conversations. Most said their kids named their threads.
Planning a cornhole competition for your family reunion or playing party games at home? From holiday gatherings to online gaming tournaments, using family team names adds an extra layer of fun! In this post, we mostly focus on categories for immediate family members, including team names for siblings and a special section just for parents. Plus, we have bonus sections with family group chat names and extended family group names to keep your conversations lively and organized!
