Guessing Game

[Scotstar]

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

Agreed, rest in peace Stephen Hawking. An amazing man.

Ok, im hoping this one will be my most cryptic yet:

This young lady stands up and switches a letter with her co NT friend that some describe as catty.

Felicity?

Not Felicity

Ok, that one's making my brain hurt!!

Talitha/Tabitha?

Also just to clarify that there are TWO (very similar) names mentioned in my clue.

Decipher one or both if you can!

Ah, didnt see FintyTin's update, yes, you got it! Talitha and Tabitha!

Ok so this is the deciphering of my clues:

"A young woman stands up..." = Talitha translates into Aramic as "little girl, arise"

"...and switches a letter..." = You change the letter L to a letter B to make Tabitha.

"...with her co NT friend..." = Tabitha and Talitha are both New Testament names.

"..that some describe as catty" = Tabitha is often called a cat's name on Mumsnet. Also Tabby cat.

Back to you @FintyTin

Katherine?

X-posted! Great clues there

Thanks @masktaster

Thank you for an excellent clue, finallychangedmyusername It took me a while to figure out that NT didn't stand for neuro-typical! I got the Bible reference, though.

I shall have to come back to you, as I'm due back at work. Unless anyone else has one ready to go?

I think we should hold out and wait for another of your amazing, brain busting clues @FintyTin!

These are some amazing clues - you're all making my brain stretch

Whilst we're waiting for FintyTin to return to work, shall I chuck out another one? Or anyone else want a turn?

Return from work...

Break time! I've got on:

She's half without compassion and slightly less than honest; but she follows those who uphold the law.

Catherine

Oh sorry,I'm a bit behind,got over excited,I'll catch up now

Robin

Constance

Honor? (Hope you are enjoying your break BTW!)

Julie?

Thank you finallychangedmyusername.
I love your thinking Bexter801, but no-one's got it yet!

I think @DuggeeHugs is right.

Ah, cross post, maybe not then!

Pandora?
