So, here it is, the fourth(!!!) Guessing Game baby names thread. Shock

All credit to @scotstar for creating the game, back in March 2018. Can't believe how far we've come!

Previous threads here:

The game is simple. Guess the name the poster is describing, then it's your turn! Make the clues as fiendish as you like. Grin

All are welcome to join in! @FintyTin, @Ladywillpower, @LadyGAgain and @DuggeeHugs, come join! (Plus others I've forgotten)

And since @Ladywillpower correctly guessed @FintyTin's last clue, this is @Ladywillpower**'s latest clue:


This old German name opened Pandora's box in 1929. Her royal connections meant that she waltzed off to one of the Channel Islands with the Doctor.

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

Hmmmm... Tallulah?
The name means leaping water, Talluah Willis is Bruce Willis's daughter and I guess has arguably the King of Christmas movies... I've never seen Bugsy Malone, but maybe Tallulah in Bugsy Malone required priestly intervention?

(Possibly clutching at straws. A LOT.)

Correct (x3!) LadyG.
Regan was King Lear's daughter. John Thaw played Jack Regan in the Sweeney, and Regan was the girl from The Exorcist.
