It isn't David. Frederick is closer

Or David? (David and Goliath = fought, Livingstone journeyed, St David = peace)?

finallychangedmyusername · 13/11/2018 13:44

Frederick?

DuggeeHugs · 12/11/2018 20:02

Not Christopher.

OP posts:

Christopher?

DuggeeHugs · 11/11/2018 22:20

Not Winston

OP posts:

Winston?

DuggeeHugs · 11/11/2018 13:39

Ha! Good one @finallychangedmyusername DC1 has a book with a hay bailer in it, so I went the wrong way to begin with Smile

New clue in the timely theme:

This name has fought and journeyed bravely before finally navigating to sign the peace

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 10/11/2018 17:11

That's the one!

Hay (straw) + lea (meadow). The two young thespian namesakes are Hayley Mills and Haley Joel Osment.

Oh and almost seasonal/timely with Bonfire night and fireworks > Halley's Comet (almost spelled the same).

DuggeeHugs · 10/11/2018 16:18

Hailey/Hayley?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 10/11/2018 16:04

Not Dakota. Your first guess was much closer.

DuggeeHugs · 10/11/2018 15:40

Dakota?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 09/11/2018 22:10

Sorry not Bailey/Bailee

DuggeeHugs · 09/11/2018 19:42

Bailey/Bailee?

Fab clue again @DuggeeHugs and thanks @LadyGAgain. Smile

Ok, this would have been perfect (sort of) a week or two ago....

Straw in the meadow describes these two famous child actors who share this unisex name (spelt differently though).

DuggeeHugs · 09/11/2018 13:53

@finallychangedmyusername has it!

All round = planet, beauty = meaning, deadly = Venus fly trap. 5 of 7 = Friday, 2 of 8 = planet. Sporting giant = Venus Williams

Back to you Smile

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 09/11/2018 10:47

That's it! It must be! Well done!!

finallychangedmyusername · 09/11/2018 09:40

Ah, Venus!

temporarilyvoluntarilymerrily · 09/11/2018 08:20

Denise?

DuggeeHugs · 09/11/2018 07:58

Getting very warm!

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 09/11/2018 07:28

Serena?

temporarilyvoluntarilymerrily · 09/11/2018 07:28

Athena?

DuggeeHugs · 09/11/2018 07:12

Sorry, I think I've made this too hard Sad

A not cryptic follow up clue:

One current holder of this name is a sporting giant

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 08/11/2018 20:56

Celaeno?

DuggeeHugs · 06/11/2018 22:56

If you're counting by official standards she can be 2 of 8 and 5 of 7.
