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:

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)

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!

Good shout! I couldn’t make Larry the cat work with Africa Envy

LadyGAgain · 05/09/2019 06:02

Having the hump - sulk. Humphrey - camel North Africa. And chief mouser!

LadyGAgain · 05/09/2019 06:01

Or Humphrey'

LadyGAgain · 05/09/2019 06:00

Larry?

TheGirlWhoLived · 04/09/2019 23:21

I’m racking my brains but no Idea!

finallychangedmyusername · 04/09/2019 14:23

Don't sulk if you don't get this clue straight away; maybe you'll find romance with this guy in northern Africa, else at number 10 this fellow will deal with some troublemakers.

The Queen is DEFINITELY cooler than me Grin

Playground teasing about police cars make this pretty ballerina sad but is she Russian, Spanish, Scandinavian or Indian?

TheGirlWhoLived · 03/09/2019 08:09

The only nightclub the queen has been to allegedly (hence nightclub for One)

TheGirlWhoLived · 02/09/2019 23:54

Haha the club was Annabels so yea Grin I shall sit on my laurels now and patiently wait Smile

LadyGAgain · 02/09/2019 22:51

I'm guessing Annabelle? Like Annabel Karmel, Annabelle the horror movie and I have no idea about the club as I'm not cool Grin

LadyGAgain · 02/09/2019 22:48

Nah! @TheGirlWhoLived we're gonna guess your latest one 😊. This is a fun game for everyone and we aren't precious.

Getting thinking head on.

TheGirlWhoLived · 02/09/2019 14:23

(That reads as a bit snarky, it honestly wasn’t meant like that- I really am apologising Blush)

TheGirlWhoLived · 02/09/2019 14:17

Oh no I just jumped on in- I was last on the first guessing game thread when it was a complete free for all! I didnt realise we had rules and all now Grin

Please ignore me and I’ll try and guess ladywillpowers clue! Sorry for jumping the gun

Ladywillpower · 02/09/2019 08:09

I'm still here under my usual moniker 😁.
Came on to post a clue & found someone had beaten me to it (I don't mind at all btw).
Explanation of " Alexandra clue".
Princess Alexandra (married to Edward V11)
North London clue Alexandra Palace.
South London clue Alexandra (Binky) Felstead from made in Chelsea.
Alexandra Burke was mentored by Cheryl on the X Factor.

LadyGAgain · 02/09/2019 07:15

I'm so confused! @Ladywillpower won the 'Sandy' thread but I see @TheGirlWhoLived is posting the clues? Have you name changed?

TheGirlWhoLived · 02/09/2019 00:27

One makes tasty dishes
To serve to our children
Another is a horror
And a nightclub made for One

TheGirlWhoLived · 02/09/2019 00:20

Haha would love to say no, alas it IS Tom, back to the drawing board

LadyGAgain · 01/09/2019 16:47

Tom (hangs head of this is wrong Grin)

TheGirlWhoLived · 01/09/2019 15:07

Hmm how about easy but rhyming!!

I’m conducting the train
Wearing one red shoe
Will SON-body work out
This really rubbish clue?

LadyGAgain · 01/09/2019 10:12

Ha! Yes! That was quick over to you!

Ladywillpower · 01/09/2019 10:09

Sandy?

LadyGAgain · 01/09/2019 09:24

I’m usually female but can be male when used as a derivative of another name.
I’m a virginal sex kitten when in wedges and bare footed if you pull the right strings.

LadyGAgain · 01/09/2019 09:18

Sorry! Slightly embarrassed that it was the Cheryl clue that got me there Blush.

Ok will be back with next clue.
