Guessing Game

Thought this would make a fun thread and maybe also provide names for people that are choosing that they wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

Think of a name (your child's or any name really) and provide 3 clues.

Other posters have to guess the name and once someone gets it right, it's their turn!

I'll start:

2 syllables

Very definitely a boys name but there is a feminine version

2 very common abbreviations/nicknames

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I hoped pretty when she was older would help... pretty girl... pretty woman.

I mean, it all makes sense in hindsight... Grin

DuggeeHugs · 14/03/2018 23:37

Grin that's some mental gymnastics at this time of night! I didn't get the Pretty Woman reference at all

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 23:35

Well done! I was going for Pretty Woman, Julia means young, and the character from The Two Gentleman of Verona.

I either make them too easy or too hard 😂

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 23:34

Haha Julia

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 23:34

Yes!

DuggeeHugs · 14/03/2018 23:34

Or is it Silvia? I can't remember Blush

DuggeeHugs · 14/03/2018 23:32

Julia

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 23:30

Nope but on the right track!

DuggeeHugs · 14/03/2018 23:28

Verona

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 23:28

I'll help again cos I'm falling asleep and I don't want to leave you hanging!

Though Edward has found his way into her heart, Proteus won't be happy.

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 23:17

Nope 😬

applesandpears56 · 14/03/2018 23:12

Siena

DuggeeHugs · 14/03/2018 23:08

Florence?

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 23:07

As I fear I've made it too cryptic...

She'll be pretty when she's older also

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 23:06

Nope!

finallychangedmyusername · 14/03/2018 23:04

Milena?

applesandpears56 · 14/03/2018 23:02

Bella

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 22:54

Haha no I just don't know many welsh names so got lucky!

This pretty, young girl wouldn't be out of place in Northern Italy

FintyTin · 14/03/2018 22:34

Yes, it was Seren. I think it may have been too easy 😁.
Well done, 8DaysAWeek - your turn!

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 22:27

Or, Seren?

8DaysAWeek · 14/03/2018 22:26

Holly?

FintyTin · 14/03/2018 22:20

Yay! I'm enjoying this game.

My young lady is Welsh, has five letters in her name, and could have been born around Christmas...

flybabyfly · 14/03/2018 21:58

Correct, FintyTin! Your go.

FintyTin · 14/03/2018 21:41

Susan?

flybabyfly · 14/03/2018 21:23

Oh yay Grin I actually had no idea Kerry is unisex. Good one, finallychanged!

So: This flowery lady is good at helping out with dinner and, perhaps surprisingly?, is a brilliant singer.
