All right, all you baby name wizards out there: think you’re hot stuff? Here’s a fun little diversion for you: Step up and test your intellectual might against this diabolical gauntlet of brain-twisting baby name conundrums.

A word of warning: IQ is not about what you know but rather how well you can reason. While a general knowledge of names may be an asset here, it is not necessary to do well on this test. Success will be determined by your ability to spot patterns. In most cases, the answers are hiding in plain sight.

Have fun and don’t take it too seriously. Solutions will be revealed in a future instalment of the Baby Name Brainstorm.
