Guessing game V!

Merry twixmas! Xmas Grin

We have reached thread 5(!) of the baby names Guessing Game.

This was the (brilliant) brain child of @scotstar back in March 2018. Smile

All are welcome, rules of this game are pretty straightforward - someone describes a name. Whoever solves the clues is then in charge of describing the next name. Simple! Make the clues as fiendish or straightforward as you like. Grin

No.

Another of him was a civil rights leader.

DotCottan · 17/05/2021 21:46

Jo?

Ellmau · 17/05/2021 20:48

No.

finallychangedmyusername · 17/05/2021 14:47

Jeffrey?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 16/05/2021 19:13

No, but he is related to one of him ;)

finallychangedmyusername · 16/05/2021 18:26

Hmmmm... Beau/Bo?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 16/05/2021 10:26

Some people misspell tis name but the misspelling is correct as the diminutive of a girl's name.

Ellmau · 16/05/2021 10:18

No.

finallychangedmyusername · 16/05/2021 08:51

Vernon?

Ellmau · 15/05/2021 22:16

No.

finallychangedmyusername · 15/05/2021 21:47

Fester?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 15/05/2021 21:29

This rural uncle is the root of the family tree. Many years ago he was a groundbreaking athlete. A bit of a rebel, too.

Ellmau · 15/05/2021 20:51

Will have to think a bit for a new name ;)

finallychangedmyusername · 15/05/2021 19:20

Yes @Ellmau, Lorraine!

From the France region of Lorraine.
Scottish TV Namesake is Lorraine Kelly.
Bit of a tart - quiche Lorraine
Doesn't have a sunny nickname- Rain(e)/Rain(e)y

So glad this thread/game is still running! Grin

Over to you!

OP posts:
Ellmau · 15/05/2021 17:37

Lorraine!

finallychangedmyusername · 15/05/2021 17:22

If anyone is still playing, I can offer up this one:

She hails from France, although a famous TV namesake is Scottish. She's a bit of a tart and doesn't have a sunny nickname.

Hi @LivLavender, are you OK to do a new name/clues please? Grin. I do enjoy this game!

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 30/04/2021 07:08

@LivLavender has it, Cyrus!

Cy = sigh. Cyrus is an ancient Persian name meaning 'sun'. ONS stats say that there were only 47 born in 2019.

Over to you! And welcome! Grin

@finallychangedmyusername

So close! This man is almost an island. So almost Cyprus!
Cyrus
finallychangedmyusername · 29/04/2021 20:43

It's a rare name. There were less than 50 born in 2019.

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 28/04/2021 20:10

Almost! It's a sunny name. 🌞

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 28/04/2021 20:08

Cy (sigh)

finallychangedmyusername · 28/04/2021 19:51

So close! This man is almost an island. So almost Cyprus!

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 27/04/2021 23:18

And if that's correct I respectfully hand the baton to @Ellmau GrinGrin

LadyGAgain · 27/04/2021 23:17

A groan is a sigh? Cyprus
