Another clue:

Each sentence gives a clue, sequentially, to the letters of this name.

So the first sentence gives us the first two letters, then the second sentence gives us the next letters and the third sentence the final letters. Kind of like Ga (1st sentence) - briel (2nd sentence) - le (3rd sentence) makes Gabrielle.

Sorry sorry, I've just realised I've made an error, revised version below:

This note is not misleading.
Then its unattractiveness may bug you.
Then a short whiny enquiry.

finallychangedmyusername · 30/11/2018 19:59

Excellent, I got it from your queuing clue! Love the Peanuts references.Grin

Next one:
This note is not misleading.
Then its unattractiveness may bug you.
Then not a low howdy.

That was quick @DuggeeHugs! Grin

Susie coolly... references Susan Coolidge, the author of What Katy Did (the adventures of these two letters) and What Katy Did Next (and what they did afterwards too). The two letters being, of course, K and T.

The final sentence is the pop reference - Katy Perry joyfully sang "I kissed a girl....and I liked it".

Katy?

Yay, I enjoyed that one @thepoorestoftherichteabiscuits! Smile

Next name (and no, it's not Susie!):

Susie coolly described the adventures of these two letters. (And what they did afterwards too).

(It may have been getting physical with Susie - an enjoyable experience!)

thepoorestoftherichteabiscuits · 23/11/2018 21:33

Yep well done finally Smile

Pretty bang on with most of the clues too.

Portia is a name for a spider, tree and moon of Uranus
The first part refers to Port(s) which fancies (HMS) Elizabeth if not too shallow (re the sea). The second is the "ah" sound found in the words bats and sparrows.

And yep shy and merchant are clues to Merchant of Venice and utopia is almost an anagram Smile

finallychangedmyusername · 23/11/2018 20:00

I'm feeling pretty optimistic.... the timid merchant is Shylock in Merchant of Venice, Portia is a type of jumping spider (gah!), Portia moon of Uranus, Portia in Merchant of Venice being based on Queen Elizabeth, almost utopia - Portia is almost an anagram of utopia. Not sure about the bats and sparrows though!

finallychangedmyusername · 23/11/2018 19:30

Portia?

thepoorestoftherichteabiscuits · 22/11/2018 22:18

Nope but getting closer.
