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?

Ill stick with 3 same clues...

I am sweet

I am afternoon

I am gentle

Go...

The three clues have evolved this way over the last 37 pages. It's fun and addictive Smile

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 19:47

@mrsabc1 has it! Your turn Smile

Air = Jane Eyre
Graciousness = Jane means 'God is gracious'
No nonsense = plain Jane

Mrsabc1 · 28/03/2018 19:45

Also i thought there was supposed to be 3 clues rather than cryptic riddles...

Mrsabc1 · 28/03/2018 19:42

Jane ?

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 19:03

Hayley?

Calatonia · 28/03/2018 18:54

Cordelia?

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 18:53

Not Florence.

Sorry DarkRoomDarren

If I can come up with another clue I'll post it once the DCs are asleep Smile

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 18:21

Florence?

DarkRoomDarren · 28/03/2018 17:57

Damn it! Thought I might have it there.

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 17:57

Not Prudence

DarkRoomDarren · 28/03/2018 17:51

Prudence?

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 17:43

'Fraid not

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 17:01

Mercy?

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 16:03

Hurrah! Smile And DD had obligingly napped just long enough for this effort:

An air of graciousness surrounds this no nonsense young woman

FintyTin · 28/03/2018 15:51

Yep, Hazel - we’ll done both! That was clearly not as cryptic as I intended Grin .

The baton is yours, DuggeeHugs...

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 15:51

@DuggeeHugs hopefully she stayed snoozing for youSmile I think definitely it's right

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 15:47

@Bexter801 it suddenly came to me as I was laying the baby in the cot! I was sooooo careful making sure she didn't get jostled and wake up before I could get to my phone Grin

Hopefully it is correct...

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 15:44

Noooooooo,@DugeeHugs beat me to it!

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 15:43

Hazel?

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 15:42

Hazel?

FintyTin · 28/03/2018 15:29

Phew, that one made my brain ache Grin!

She might be innocently colouring with Iris; but some say she casts spells. She’s really just nutty!

clairehr · 28/03/2018 14:23

@Fintytin has it!

FintyTin · 28/03/2018 14:23

Poppy?
