Yes, it is Calliope! The muse of eloquence and epic poetry whose name was given to a steam powered musical instrument and a tank used for launching rockets. Broken down to: Call I 'ope!

All yours @finallychangedmyusername and apologies for the obscurity Sad

Oh I'm sorry - I have a colleague with this name but it probably isn't very common.

Sorry @finallychangedmyusername I'm all over the shop atm Confused

Not Sabrina. It's a very old name. Ancient, even.

finallychangedmyusername · 12/01/2019 18:43

Great clues again @finallychangedmyusername Smile

Whether her epic adventures are steam-powered or fast enough to launch a rocket, she will always be able to offer an eloquent narrative.

Yep you got it! That was quick! Max.

The physicist Max Planck was the Nobel prize winner, the crazy films are the Mad Max series, the martyr is Saint Maximilian (who was probably Max to his mates!) And 'ultimate' is, of course, max(imum). Over to you @DuggeeHugs!

Yay! Epic clues @LadyGAgain and hello @DuggeeHugs. Here's the next one:

Name shared by a Nobel prize winner and some crazy films. A martyr might go by this ultimate name, rather than his cumbersome full Latin name.

Winifred/Winnie?

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 05/01/2019 22:42

Yes!! Well done!!

What name links the following:

  • The former spouse of a 20th century revolutionary, activist and all round game-changer.
  • she’ll take your freedom, change clothes and encourage you to keep it in the closet.
  • the Boxing Day Tsunami and a New York terrorist

Naomi Harris played Winnie Mandela
Naomi Campbell starred in each of these pop song videos PLUS had he own song called Swan
Naomi Watts starred in The Impossible about the Tsunami and the NY terrorist is King Kong starting the same Naomi Watts.

Over to you!

finallychangedmyusername · 05/01/2019 22:01

Naomi Watts in the Hurricane (movie about the Boxing Day hurricane), Naomi Campbell is the diva

finallychangedmyusername · 05/01/2019 21:57

Naomi?

LadyGAgain · 05/01/2019 21:50

3 syllables,
1 - the horse brays
2 - be present and faithful
