Guessing Game

Thought this would make a fun thread and maybe also provide names for people that are choosing that they wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

Think of a name (your child's or any name really) and provide 3 clues.

Other posters have to guess the name and once someone gets it right, it's their turn!

I'll start:

2 syllables

Very definitely a boys name but there is a feminine version

2 very common abbreviations/nicknames

Concentrate on the singer/songwriters name - it might open a few doors for you

Good clue @applesandpears56 and nice one @FintyTin!

FintyTin · 15/03/2018 20:45

Thank you, finallychangedmyusername. I agree, really good clue, applesandpears56; it was the ‘opening doors’ bit that got it for me!
I’m afraid mine won’t be as good (too many sleepless nights!)

This chap has two common spellings.
He’s associated with boxing.
He has some famous sons.

Lawrence Okolie - boxer and DH Lawrence wrote Sons and Lovers

Yes, you’ve got it. A tip of my hat towards the late Prof Hawking.
Boxing Day being St Stephen’s Day, and many famous Stephensons (Debra’s my personal favourite).

Over to you, finallychangedmyusername! 🙂
