My friend is expecting a baby girl in a few months. She has her heart set on a name and wants to keep it almost secret - she is happy for me to try to guess it. She won’t give me out-and-out clues, but will give me yes or no responses if I make a guess. It’s driving me insane! So far I’ve worked out that it’s;
Not a name that is unheard of, but she has never met one. (She’s mid-thirties and lives in central Scotland)
It’s considered to be slightly old fashioned (but she won’t tell me more about whether this might mean e.g. Victorian, 1970’s etc)
The biggest clue is that it has an association that – in her words – would ‘ruin the name’ if you make the connection. She won’t elaborate whether this is a musical, literary, food stuff connection etc.
It doesn't end in a vowel (found this out after guessing a bunch of names ending in ‘a’)
She also says she wants a name that can’t be shortened, so my guess is either one syllable or just a name that doesn't shorten easily.
So far I've incorrectly guessed:
Delilah
Priscilla
Jolene
Joan
Amber
Blyth
Flora
Tabitha
Caitlyn
Gabrielle
Lola
Nikita
Rhianna (spelled properly)
Anastasia
Fleur
Giselle
Camilla
Any ideas what my next guess or question should be?
