So, she's happy, a bit of a flower and a player of three notes.

(Not expecting this to take long!!)

Hooray! I got one!

Didn't know about the asparagus!

Yes @diddl has it!

Erwin Schrödinger of cat fame. Erwin Rommel, the notorious general whose asparagus caused problems for gliders in WWII. And er...win?

It isn't Katniss it Christopher.

It is a male name.

The first half of the clue is to do with things for which two holders of the name are famous/notorious.

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 08/09/2018 13:38

Or maybe Katniss

LadyGAgain · 08/09/2018 13:37

Catniss?

finallychangedmyusername · 08/09/2018 11:57

I keep coming back to Christopher....? Kit, contains "stop"?

DuggeeHugs · 07/09/2018 18:46

That's a great game idea right there: nominate a name and the best unique spelling/variation wins Grin

Clues then:

The first half of the clue refers to holders of the name. The second half of the clue describes the name. At least one part of Catpeastopwin is there...

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 07/09/2018 18:00

I'm going to suggest Catpeastopwin the next time someone says they want a "unique" name. WinkGrin

Yes please to another clue...

Not a million pounds I'm afraid, but I think you may have named Rumplestiltskins firstborn Grin

Would you like more clues?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 07/09/2018 17:36

I keep wondering if there's a name Cat-Pea-Stop-Win. Confused Catpeastopwin, come inside for your dinner!

A million pounds for me if I'm right... Grin

Forest/most at home - name means wooded.
Following the birdsong - Sylvester the cat chasing after Tweety Pie.
Warm clothing is the VEST in the middle of SylVESTer.

Nope sorry. Benedict has the right number of syllables...

I think I've got stuck in a guessing rut Confused

I'm changing tack with this guess: Linus

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 06/09/2018 08:44

Not Benedict, but I see your thinking. The fictitious namesake is a cartoon - he's the one following the birdsong...

DuggeeHugs · 06/09/2018 08:05

Benedict?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 06/09/2018 07:17

Nope again. Far less common than Matthew, Christopher etc (yet still a recognisable name that you'll all know). Also has been a Pope's name.
