14 to the Case Trivia Quiz


A branch of my family tree includes 14 siblings with the surname of 'Case'. Obviously you name the first one 'Justin', but where do you go from there? A bit of close observation makes naming the children easy. Really!

Question 1 of 10
1. Case #2 - a daughter. The first Case girl showed herself to be a rather clingy child, grasping at her parents and big brother constantly. As she grew up, it became evident that, even though she craved a definite assignment, she was quite diplomatic. What did her parents name Case #2? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. The 3rd and 4th Cases were twin boys. They were very straight forward and logical little boys, and everyone agreed they would probably grow up to be lawyers. This they did, and opened a practice specialising in short, easily determined matters. What were the lawyer brothers' names?

Answer: (Three Words - 1st 4 letters, starts with O, 2nd 'and', 3rd 4 letters, starts with S)
Question 3 of 10
3. Case #5 - a son. Wacky from the start, this boy used to scream whenever taken out of his carrier. Once mobile, he'd jump into the washing when Mrs Case had it ready to hang out. Inevitably he was institutionalised, but was very happy once he took up raffia weaving. What was his name?

Answer: (One Word - 6 letters, starts with B)
Question 4 of 10
4. The 6th and 7th Cases were more twins, this time a son and daughter. These little ones were very close, as twins will be, and started talking early. They quickly showed a flair for language, and would often correct their siblings' word usage. They were both adamant in pointing out assaults against grammar, but had slightly different ways of indicating errors. One would simply name the offender and the offence, but the other would get quite excited, with much finger pointing and recrimination ensuing. So what were the twins names?

Answer: (Three Words - 1st word 10 letters, starts with N, 2nd word 'and', 3rd word 10 letters, starts with A)
Question 5 of 10
5. Case #8, a daughter. This little one thought a lot of herself, and she thought of herself a lot. Though no better looking or more intelligent than her siblings, she made no attempt to hide the fact that she thought she was. Her parents obviously christened her what? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. The 8th and 9th Cases were yet more twins, this time both girls. Mr and Mrs Case were running out of room by now, so these two had to sleep in bunk beds. Like the middle set of twins, they showed affinity with language, but their interest was more with keyboards than with sentence structure. They were especially fond of the 'caps lock' key, so what did their parents name them?

Answer: (Three Words - 1st word 5 letters, starts with U, 2nd word 'and', 3rd word 5 letters, starts with L)
Question 7 of 10
7. Case #10, a son. After the first nine, perhaps Mr and Mrs Case could be forgiven for not being quite as affectionate with this new child. Certainly this was his therapist's take on just why this boy was so distant and hard. No-one was ever able to explain why he always shivered, though. What was the name of Case #10?

Answer: (One Word - 4 letters, starts with C)
Question 8 of 10
8. Case #11, a daughter, and a troublesome one at that. Maybe it was because she was by far the smallest Case child and thought it was the only way she could get attention, or maybe it was indicative of a deeper problem. Either way, her whole life she couldn't break herself of the habit of showing her knickers at every opportunity. The red-faced senior Cases could but name her what?

Answer: (One Word - 5 letters, start with B)
Question 9 of 10
9. Yet more twins, the 12th and 13th Cases, though both girls, couldn't have been more different from each other. The first wanted to do nothing but lie on her bed all day, was chubby and light of head. The second was up and going all the time, shoving crayons, pens, markers and novelty erasers into her mouth, all at once! Acknowledging they were twins but far from identical, their parents gave them names starting with the same letter. But what names? (Give names in order mentioned.)

Answer: (Three Words - 1st word 6 letters, starts with P, 2nd word 'and', 3rd word 6 letters, starts with P)
Question 10 of 10
10. Case #14, a son. If you listened to his parents, he was last and definitely least. Mean perhaps, but the youngest Case really was a loser. He was slow to walk, talk, read and all the other things his siblings seemed to pick up with no difficulty. And no matter how many times she bathed him, Mrs Case couldn't get rid of her youngest child's odd smell. No, given this scenario, his parents could only name him what?

Answer: (One Word - 5 letters, starts with W)

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Case #2 - a daughter. The first Case girl showed herself to be a rather clingy child, grasping at her parents and big brother constantly. As she grew up, it became evident that, even though she craved a definite assignment, she was quite diplomatic. What did her parents name Case #2?

Answer: Attaché

Mr and Mrs Case doted on their first daughter and decided she was just perfect without make-up. They thought she might grow up to wear suits, however they didn't want people to think she was empty or ready to take on other people's baggage. Their daughter was undeniably decorative, but her parents thought little Attaché might be teased with a name like Jewel...
2. The 3rd and 4th Cases were twin boys. They were very straight forward and logical little boys, and everyone agreed they would probably grow up to be lawyers. This they did, and opened a practice specialising in short, easily determined matters. What were the lawyer brothers' names?

Answer: Open and Shut

Though it was tempting to name the twins Court and Custody, Mr and Mrs Case thought that might be tempting fate.
3. Case #5 - a son. Wacky from the start, this boy used to scream whenever taken out of his carrier. Once mobile, he'd jump into the washing when Mrs Case had it ready to hang out. Inevitably he was institutionalised, but was very happy once he took up raffia weaving. What was his name?

Answer: Basket

Perhaps doomed from the start, the older kids called him Nut. When their parents objected, he became known as Special. Never very good with sarcasm, Mr and Mrs Case thoroughly approved of young Basket's new nickname.
4. The 6th and 7th Cases were more twins, this time a son and daughter. These little ones were very close, as twins will be, and started talking early. They quickly showed a flair for language, and would often correct their siblings' word usage. They were both adamant in pointing out assaults against grammar, but had slightly different ways of indicating errors. One would simply name the offender and the offence, but the other would get quite excited, with much finger pointing and recrimination ensuing. So what were the twins names?

Answer: Nominative and Accusative

Most of the Case children were highly strung, but these two were particularly tense. They were also very protective of each other, leading them to be referred to collectively as the Possessive Cases.
5. Case #8, a daughter. This little one thought a lot of herself, and she thought of herself a lot. Though no better looking or more intelligent than her siblings, she made no attempt to hide the fact that she thought she was. Her parents obviously christened her what?

Answer: Vanity

No, definitely Vanity. The other names were what her siblings called her. Poor old Mr and Mrs Case - they weren't sure about any of the names, but only ever forbad Hopeless outright. They thought perhaps Stair meant people climbed all over her, missing the reference to time spent in front of the mirror completely. Charity they found positively charming as a nickname, but Vanity never seemed to help anyone at all...
6. The 8th and 9th Cases were yet more twins, this time both girls. Mr and Mrs Case were running out of room by now, so these two had to sleep in bunk beds. Like the middle set of twins, they showed affinity with language, but their interest was more with keyboards than with sentence structure. They were especially fond of the 'caps lock' key, so what did their parents name them?

Answer: Upper and Lower

Their habit of stealing books got them the reputation for being a little shifty. That, and them being identical twins, led to them being known by some as the matching Book Cases. Upper and Lower were also into gardening, so yet others knew them as the Seed Cases.
7. Case #10, a son. After the first nine, perhaps Mr and Mrs Case could be forgiven for not being quite as affectionate with this new child. Certainly this was his therapist's take on just why this boy was so distant and hard. No-one was ever able to explain why he always shivered, though. What was the name of Case #10?

Answer: Cold

Not having close personal relationships probably helped in his chosen line of work. As a detective, working with old and often closed files, he was a great success, even having a TV show made about his exploits. What do you mean you've never heard of "Cold Case"?
8. Case #11, a daughter, and a troublesome one at that. Maybe it was because she was by far the smallest Case child and thought it was the only way she could get attention, or maybe it was indicative of a deeper problem. Either way, her whole life she couldn't break herself of the habit of showing her knickers at every opportunity. The red-faced senior Cases could but name her what?

Answer: Brief

Apart from her knicker flashing, there was a little scandal around this one. Mrs Case was taking an experimental drug while pregnant with Brief, which could account for the child's diminutive stature and eccentric behaviour. Not wanting to be reminded of the failure of this experiment, her parents refused to let the other kids call their sister Test.
9. Yet more twins, the 12th and 13th Cases, though both girls, couldn't have been more different from each other. The first wanted to do nothing but lie on her bed all day, was chubby and light of head. The second was up and going all the time, shoving crayons, pens, markers and novelty erasers into her mouth, all at once! Acknowledging they were twins but far from identical, their parents gave them names starting with the same letter. But what names? (Give names in order mentioned.)

Answer: Pillow and Pencil

When Pencil could empty her mouth and actually get Pillow out of bed, the twins loved to sing, dance, and perform skits and scenes for their large family. As word spread of their talents, people would come from all over town to see the Show Cases.
10. Case #14, a son. If you listened to his parents, he was last and definitely least. Mean perhaps, but the youngest Case really was a loser. He was slow to walk, talk, read and all the other things his siblings seemed to pick up with no difficulty. And no matter how many times she bathed him, Mrs Case couldn't get rid of her youngest child's odd smell. No, given this scenario, his parents could only name him what?

Answer: Worst

Mr and Mrs Case knew this would be their last child, and had literally been saving the Best until last. But what could they do? Apart from the smell he was just plain odd, so the other kids called him Crank. Justin, who was by this time studying psychology, went one further and called his youngest brother Borderline...

I hope you've enjoyed studying these Cases. And just for the record, it is absolutely true. Well, part of it...my great-great-great grandparents, Thomas and Elizabeth Case, had 14 children, but they gave them very conventional names. I know, I know, they're related to me and they passed up an opportunity like that? Still, my parents assure me I wasn't adopted, and if anyone had reason to lie about that, it's certainly them!
