I can see your thinking although this isn't the one

Flora?

Thanks @finallychangedmyusername -
you've reminded me that I should get Charlotte's Web for the DC when they're a bit older. And you've gotta love Duggee!

Here goes:

I was surprised to learn this name has Latin roots as most folk consider it to be from the isles. This name has roots in nature, too. You can find her everywhere from the soaps to Cbeebies

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 24/02/2019 17:50

Currer Bell, even.

It must be Sunday! Grin

finallychangedmyusername · 24/02/2019 17:47

Haha, yep, so quick!

Charlotte Church, Princess Charlotte, Charlotte Bronte (pen name Curran Bell), Charlotte's Web.

Here's the gauntlet back again @DuggeeHugs! (I prefer this username of yours!) Grin Grin

Oh bother, I did it again Blush

Charlotte!

OP posts:
MordredsOrrery · 24/02/2019 16:38

Charlotte?

finallychangedmyusername · 24/02/2019 16:04

Yay, nice one again @DuggeeHugs!

Here's a new one for you this sunny weekend:

Name shared by these four:

  • This political activist and presenter once had an angelic voice
  • Middle child who'll probably never be as 'great' a leader as her brother
  • AKA Bell, on paper
  • A creepy character in a heartwarming tale

Spot on with leading the pack and the make charts. One meaning of Olivia is elf army. Neck and neck was about Olivia Coleman who, at the time, was joint front runner to win the Best Actress in a Leading Role statuette at the Oscars.

Welcome back @FintyTin Smile

@finallychangedmyusername over to you!

OP posts:
FintyTin · 23/02/2019 22:02

I think finallychangedmyusername has it; but just in case I’m throwing in Una as my guess.

finallychangedmyusername · 23/02/2019 16:38

Olivia? Begins with a vowel, Mediterranean olives, leading the pack as it's the most popular girls name. I'm lost with the faery horde though!

Original poster
DuggeeHugs · 23/02/2019 15:59

Not Elsa I'm afraid.

This name generally reminds me of Mediterranean produce

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 22/02/2019 08:49

Elsa? The lion - pack leader, next challenge = Frozen 2?

Original poster
DuggeeHugs · 22/02/2019 01:19

Not yet, but some great names in there! You're correct in thinking it begins with a vowel

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 21/02/2019 21:24

Or Faye? Aine? Aethelwine?!

Again I'm still not convinced I've got it though! Grin

finallychangedmyusername · 19/02/2019 08:27

I don't think I'm right with any of these, but... Arietty? Titania? Annika/Anneka? Grin

Original poster
DuggeeHugs · 16/02/2019 14:32

Another one for you:

Already leading the pack, she's neck and neck in her next challenge. Having a faery horde probably helps.

Ah, good clues and timely too @finallychangedmyusername Smile

I got Wilde and De La Renta but forgot Pistorious.

As a total aside, I'm quite looking forward to the Oscars red carpet stuff but not sure about the ceremony without a host!

I'll put my thinking cap on for another name

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 15/02/2019 20:11

Renta, even. Typo, sorry!

finallychangedmyusername · 15/02/2019 20:08

Yep indeedy, Oscar!

An actor would be proud to have an oscar in their home.
Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street is grumpy and lives in a bin (so would be dirty).
The convict is Pistorious, poet is Wilde and fashionista is De La Rente.

Original poster
DuggeeHugs · 15/02/2019 18:56

Hmm.

Philip?

Oscar?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 15/02/2019 18:16

Not Roald although I see your thinking!

The three gentleman in the second sentence are all namesakes.

Original poster
DuggeeHugs · 15/02/2019 16:34

Wow @finallychangedmyusername that list is really something!

I'm going with Roald as my first guess

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 14/02/2019 09:52

And now...

Anyone in the arts would be proud to have this guy in their home, even though he's grumpy around children (and a bit dirty too). He might be a convict, poet or fashionista.

finallychangedmyusername · 14/02/2019 09:50

Yay! Next clue coming shortly, but thought I'd provide an updated list of names used so far... it's quite amazing: Grin
