LOL I also thought the unisex name answers were interesting. Maybe it’s because I am a teacher and mom of a young child, but I was thinking names more like Jordan, Taylor, Peyton, etc., that are used for babies NOW. The majority of the answers were for adult unisex names. (although I realize that is my US perception, different things happen in different countries of course) Someone else come up with the questions next time. That was hard! LOL I don’t mind compiling answers, but whew! Questions are not so easy. I was all over the Net looking for questions (I found one website that was Family Feud for Mormons). I’ll post winners when I have time to add them up. It’s all inputted, just need that final step! ---

> [@RachelChristine](#): > > I couldn’t believe how many of you think women just knit and sew! LOL Be fair! You asked for **a** common hobby for women. I’ve known women who are into shooting, flying, collecting tattoos, etc. I’ve also known women in knitting clubs. ---

I have 144 points (unless I have to subtract for my own answers), which has got to be up there. I’m sure someone’s got more, though. I can’t believe no one else said “scrapbooking” for a woman’s hobby. Hell, I see these damn scrapbooking shops opening up all over the place around here! I see references to it in the comics and on TV quite a bit. (???) ---

Great job once again, **RachelChristine**. Your comment about the questions/topics being hard to do was a surprise to me since I just “grabbed them out of the air” in that group I did. I’m all for somebody else posting the next thread on this basic idea. But if nobody else wants to own the next thread, I will do another batch. How about if nobody has posted a new thread _in this forum_ with a similar title to the ones we’ve had so far, by Friday morning Feb. 10, then I will. Please, somebody, beat me to the punch. I want to play! **RachelChristine** , are you still game to do the numbers part of the next one? ---

I’d like to suggest to **RachelChristine** that she contact the mods & request that they either (a) lock this thread or (b) amend the OP with a disclaimer that the game is now over. (A) makes more sense. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survey-says-part-2/343147.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survey-says-part-2/343147.md?page=6)
