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

Clementine?

LadyGAgain · 19/01/2021 21:14

Not Hope

finallychangedmyusername · 19/01/2021 20:30

Hope?

LadyGAgain · 18/01/2021 00:04

No. Julie is WWW - not them.
Patience is on the money but not right Grin

finallychangedmyusername · 17/01/2021 21:58

... or Patience?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 17/01/2021 21:54

Julie?

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 17/01/2021 18:42

Oh I like your thinking around mambo number 5! Sadly neither that or the names are correct (don't think she was mentioned anyway...)

Think of a band. With originally 5 members. Then 4 and now 3.

finallychangedmyusername · 17/01/2021 16:17

I've convinced myself that I'm looking for a name from Orange is the New Black, and/or from Lou Bega's Mambo Number Five.

So... Piper? Pamela? Grin

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 17/01/2021 09:28

Nope.

Perhaps party of five should be "one of a group of 5...4...3"

finallychangedmyusername · 16/01/2021 17:23

Saffron?

finallychangedmyusername · 15/01/2021 17:12

I keep coming back to Trump, with the "orange" clue! Grin. I shall continue to think. Smile

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 15/01/2021 08:47

Not Sandy

finallychangedmyusername · 15/01/2021 07:42

Sandy?

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 14/01/2021 20:56

Ok here goes!

She’s often left at the bottom of the bag.
She’s accused of being orange.
She’s sung about by one of a party of five.

LadyGAgain · 13/01/2021 22:36

Wow!! Amazing clues!! Let me have a think...

finallychangedmyusername · 13/01/2021 20:01

Yes! Orson!

  • The alien line manager is Mork's supervisor in Mork and Mindy ("Mork calling Orson, come in Orson".) 😁
  • Reservoirs > wells > Actor Orson Welles
  • Teddy > Teddy bear > Orson means "bear"
  • Cartoon farm with feline link > Orson's Farm (written by Jim Davidson who also created Garfield)

Nanoo nanoo Grin

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 13/01/2021 19:55

Orson?

finallychangedmyusername · 12/01/2021 23:39

You've got the right show! Just not the right name yet. Grin

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 12/01/2021 23:08

Mork?
Mindy?
Grin
I have no idea!!!

finallychangedmyusername · 12/01/2021 21:06

Not Holly sorry (not Red Dwarf) WinkGrin.
This programme was earlier - the 70s.

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 11/01/2021 23:18

Holly?

finallychangedmyusername · 11/01/2021 21:09

The alien line manager was on TV (or, rather, wasn't seen on TV).

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 09/01/2021 08:22

The farm has links to a famous feline.

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 08/01/2021 23:15

It was Dr Quinn Medicine Woman that cracked it for me! Loved that programme!Smile

Here's another:

Name linking an alien line manager, reservoirs, a teddy and cartoon farm.

LadyGAgain · 07/01/2021 22:19

Spot on! That was very quick. It's Quinn - shortening of Quince (jelly) and Quincy Jones who won many Grammys and produced MJ's off the wall album. And of course Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. Over to you @finallychangedmyusername !
