How to pick the right name

Name it for whatever might hatch

A game egg could become anything, so pick a name that fits any creature, like Rookie or Mythic Maybe, and rename it after the big reveal.

Match the decoration

Name Easter eggs after their pattern or color, like Tie-Dye Tina or Zigzag Zoe, so every kid can find and claim their own.

Keep the egg word obvious

Yolk, shell, scramble and hatch are the words people catch fastest. A pun built on one of them lands in a second.

Give a character a cooking style

An egg character's personality can come from how it is cooked: scrambled is chaotic, hard-boiled is tough and poached is shy.
