So, here it is, the fourth(!!!) Guessing Game baby names thread. Shock

All credit to @scotstar for creating the game, back in March 2018. Can't believe how far we've come!

Previous threads here:

3: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/3262724-Guessing-game-III?pg=1â„´=

The game is simple. Guess the name the poster is describing, then it's your turn! Make the clues as fiendish as you like. Grin

All are welcome to join in! @FintyTin, @Ladywillpower, @LadyGAgain and @DuggeeHugs, come join! (Plus others I've forgotten)

Right, these are all the names we've described so far...

Andrew, Serafina, Eli, Verity, Juliet, Agatha, Phoebe, Frances, Rebecca, Thomas, Cecilia, Leonard, Bianca, Donald, Peter, Niamh, Lucifer, Demelza, Nevaeh, Alexander, Christopher, Miranda, William, Robert, Jack, Jude, Rachel, Margaret, Basil, Hyacinth, Aurora, Jessamine, Nicola, Kerry, Susan, Seren, Julia, Meredith, Bernard, Arthur, Ross, Blanche, Amy, Alicia, Stephen/Steven, Talitha/Tabitha, Ruth, Noah, Rowan, Lucille, Kit, Alice, Lydia, Beatrice, Mary, Jennifer, Keith, Aurelia, Aram, Oliver, Anouk, Heidi, Seth, Rose, Herbert, Sadie, Florence, Niall, Primrose, Ellis, Jordi, Hannah, Hermione, Johnny, Angelina, Frieda, Adam, Gandalf, Poppy, Hazel, Jane, Afton, Susan, Roxanne, Barbara, Stewart/Stuart, Philomena, Isaac, Rufus, Elsa, Morris/Maurice, Ken, Iona, Mark, Roger, Wilfred, Darren, Geraldine, Pascal, Harriet, Russell, Alfred, Nora, Scott, Enid, Jonathan, Nelly, Arlo, Pearl, Beverley, Dana, Toby, Clifford, Cecilia, Lisa, Tallulah, Liam, Declan, Kenneth, George, Rayna, Kezia, Annika, Chantilly, Quinn, Sally, Cornelius, Darcy/Darcie, Peter, Nina, Gabrielle, Marcus, Bruce, Rod, Joshua, Luke, Eve, Belle, Sabrina, Ariadne, David, Martin, Theresa, Breda, Nicodemus, Samuel, Hector, Shiloh, Phryne, Gordon, Cora, Gregory, Aurora, Meghan, Dermot, Paige, Urban, Carter, Ludovic, Harvey, Kristin, Laurence, Cecil, Richard, Penelope, Deborah, Felicity, Melanie, Owen/Owain, Caroline/Carrie, Abigail, Esmeralda, Christabel, Aneurin, Earl, Christine, Clare/Clair/Claire, Jeremy, Tina, Aria, Byron, Patrick, Casper, Imogen, Victoria, Percy, Jean, Sterling, Belinda, Jared, Yael/Jael, Sarah, Scarlett, Zoe, Elspeth, Holly, Gene, Ruth, Sylvester, Erwin, Gladys, Bethany, Fabian, Damian, Helen, Autumn, Venus, Hayley, Ferdinand, Michael, Portia, Katy, Linus, Timothy, Viola, Jacob, Holly, Donna, Ivy, Kevin, Clarence, Nicholas/Nick, Howard, Natalie, Naomi, Max, Calliope, Aaron, Yolanda, Adelaide, Edie, Oscar, Olivia, Charlotte, Morag, Sebastian, Stacey/Stacie, Matthew/Matt, Cameron, Theresa, Jeremy, Simon, Edward, Stanley, Flora, Daisy, Polly, Asher, Douglas, Solomon, Dan/Daniel...

And since @Ladywillpower correctly guessed @FintyTin's last clue, this is @Ladywillpower**'s latest clue:

This old German name opened Pandora's box in 1929. Her royal connections meant that she waltzed off to one of the Channel Islands with the Doctor.

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

Aaaah Vita/ Victoria?

finallychangedmyusername · 11/02/2020 00:11

Nearly... Grin You're almost there. This lady was linked to Virginia romantically. They share the same first letter (V).

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 10/02/2020 18:03

Virginia (I cant work out why though I'm embarrassed to say!)

finallychangedmyusername · 06/02/2020 20:51

The film The Hours provides a link to the novelists.

Not Margaret, sorry

OP posts:
myplateisfullenoughthanks · 05/02/2020 14:48

Margaret

finallychangedmyusername · 05/02/2020 14:40

The regal sister could also adopt a political nickname.

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 04/02/2020 23:19

Yes please.

finallychangedmyusername · 04/02/2020 20:07

Does anyone want another clue?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 01/02/2020 13:58

Here's a new one!

This energetic lady can be a petite version of her regal sister. She had reported romantic links to another author, who's name shares the first same initial letter.

Clementine?

OP posts:

Sorry posted too soon. New clue as above.

Ladywillpower · 26/01/2020 11:21

Fruity miner's daughter & political wife.

LadyGAgain · 25/01/2020 22:53

Belle is correct! London refers to "oranges and lemons" and means beautiful in French. Over to you!

Ladywillpower · 25/01/2020 13:16

Belle/Bella?

finallychangedmyusername · 25/01/2020 10:37

Primrose?

(I keep thinking the first part of the clues is a Hunger Games reference to the Capitol...) I could be well off the mark with that though!

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 21/01/2020 20:05

Fantastic!

Sorry for the delay...

She calls to her friends across the city of London. She’s beautiful & always announces her arrival

finallychangedmyusername · 17/01/2020 08:58

Yep indeedy! Ellens Page, DeGeneres, MacArthur and Ripley (Alien). Grin over to you!

OP posts:

Rae?

finallychangedmyusername · 14/01/2020 23:05

Yay, fab, great name!

This may be too easy:

Name linking the following: A ballerina's beloved, a Shakesperean-named actress's spouse, a seven seas traverser and a mother to a new partly-extraterrestrial race.
