Well done @finallychangedmyusername and excellent clues as ever @DuggeeHugs !

Yep, @finallychangedmyusername , Edie it is!

You are correct on all counts. The actresses are the Edies Sedgewick, McClurg, Falco and Inksetter to name but a few. My reasoning being there were far more Edie actresses than warriors. It was pretty tenuous in fairness. I hoped the E.D. clue would make up for it!

Over to you...

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 13/02/2019 18:20

E D = emergency department. Edie means "rich in war". Diminutive of Edith. I'm at a loss with the actress clue though!

finallychangedmyusername · 13/02/2019 18:16

Ooh, Edie?

MordredsOrrery · 13/02/2019 10:46

Sorry to disappoint there Blush

Not Florence I'm afraid.

I'll try and think of a better clue!

Cosmoa · 13/02/2019 09:36

I was going to guess Florence but I don't think it's a diminutive.. Except from maybe Florencia?!

finallychangedmyusername · 13/02/2019 09:08

Grin I was excited there for a moment that we had a new player!

Sorry name change fail there

Also, I'll update the original clue to:

... you might need to find her if you suddenly take a turn for the worse

DuggeeHugs · 13/02/2019 07:06

Hi @LadyGAgain - sounds like you've been chucked in at the deep end! Some Cake to keep you going

In terms of guesses, it isn't either of those I'm afraid.

This name is back in fashion at the moment, but sounds like a diminutive rather than a full name, even though it works in its own right

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 13/02/2019 07:05

Congrats on the new role @LadyGAgain!

I have no further guesses, @DuggeeHugs has stumped me!

LadyGAgain · 10/02/2019 23:20

Hello!
So sorry for absence. A new role at work has meant a snorkel and treading water are essential skills... I do keep checking in but brainspan hasn't lended to adding any value!

So my brain says Xena or Zena. Probably as I saw warrior.🤷🏻‍♀️😂

DuggeeHugs · 10/02/2019 20:17

Not Emma, I'm afraid.

The actress bit of the clue is the least strong

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 10/02/2019 18:05

Glad you liked my clues for Adelaide.

I keep getting drawn to Emma... meaning nurse, actresses Thompson and Watson?

DuggeeHugs · 10/02/2019 13:00

Fabulous clues @finallychangedmyusername ! I especially liked the Adele and Delly clues because they stumped me utterly Grin

This is my latest offering:

A wealthy warrior, although more commonly an actress, you might need her if you suddenly take a turn for the worse

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 08/02/2019 20:02

Yay @DuggeeHugs, you got it, Adelaide!
Linked to Heidi (the Swiss Girl) as the name Heidi comes from Adelheid. Historically, Adelaide is a regal name and is of course, an Australian city. Adele was the pyromaniac in a storm - she "set fire, to the rain", her greeting was "Hello", singing about our younger days was "When we were young" and rotating in the beneath is "Rolling in the deep" . An 'all-woman'nickname is Lady. And a final nickname option is Delly (deli: cold meats and olives).

Adelheid or Adelaide?

I'm not sure I'm on the right lines with that one but it sounds right! Smile

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 07/02/2019 18:21

The best clues are the link to Heidi and the fact that she might be Australian...

finallychangedmyusername · 03/02/2019 16:36

The pyromaniac in a storm is a namesake for another related name. This same namesake has a warm greeting and sings about our younger days and rotating in the beneath.

finallychangedmyusername · 03/02/2019 16:29

Not Clara sorry.

Clara?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 02/02/2019 14:48

A nickname might denote that she is ALL WOMAN. Alternatively that she might offer a delicious cold meats and olives selection.

finallychangedmyusername · 02/02/2019 14:37

Not Hilda sorry - Heidi is the Swiss girl she is linked to.
