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

Pomona

Or Sonia.

This is tough!

@FintyTin,thank you :) Assumpta

When's OP back I can't take the suspense

Shift finally over!
No-one’s got it yet, sorry.
Another clue?

yes please :)

She could be a good friend, a pale dragon or a famous murderess.

Rose

Last guess,and will give myself a break! Helene

Myra?

Sorry Bexter.

None of them then :/

Arya?
Daenerys?

Ruth?

Yes! It was Ruth, finallychanged (hope you don’t mind the abbreviation).

Ruth is half of the word ‘ruthless’ - without compassion
Slightly shorter than ‘truth’ - less than honest
The Book of Ruth follows Judges in the Bible
The name means ‘friend’
Ruth was a white dragon in Anne McCaffrey’s books
Ruth Ellis was the last woman hanged in Britain; she was convicted of murder.

Phew!

@finallychangedmyusername well done :) Brilliant clues is well(I was drove bonkers!)

Aw thanks everyone. That was a toughie but goodie @FintyTin! My brain is a bit frazzled after that one. So this next one is probably a bit easy, but I think, good fun.

Obsessive pet owner and duplication-concerned-mathematician is quite negative.

Gene?

Nope sorry @Bexter801

Ada

Nope again sorry @applesandpears56... and it's off to bed for me (hopefully for at least a few hours before the baby wakes!) Night!

Delia?

Not Delia. Hint - this part of the clue describes his job:

Obsessive pet owner and duplication-concerned-mathematician

Wolfgang?

Nope
