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?

Oh yes! Thanks

HecatesBroom · 12/03/2018 21:14

Off to bed now (different time zone to the UK)...
I've managed to think of a good clue but it'll have to wait until I get one right tomorrow...

user1459464195 · 12/03/2018 21:12

Yep, Randy. Popular in the States, means horny in (some parts of) the UK

HecatesBroom · 12/03/2018 21:09

I think it's "Randy"

applesandpears56 · 12/03/2018 21:06

That was hard! Explain the boys name clue as I’m stuck!

user1459464195 · 12/03/2018 20:56

Well done @MVLipwig!
Also great game OP Smile
OVER to you @MVLipwig.

Miranda!

user1459464195 · 12/03/2018 20:43

Oh yay! OK:

Shakespearean name
Her name is a good one (almost!) on which to reflect.
A possible nickname is a popular male name in the US but may be deemed unsuitable in Britain.

Yes, Christopher.

HecatesBroom · 12/03/2018 20:33

I must admit I wondered about shit = Pooh, but didn't follow through the thought.

user1459464195 · 12/03/2018 20:26

Christopher?

WinkyisbackontheButterBeer · 12/03/2018 19:39

I don’t think I worded that very well. Sorry Blush

He may also have a bouncy friend and one who lives in a pocket.
