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

Noah? He was a chap who must’ve been fairly concerned about too much multiplication! 😄

Yep it's Noah! He who reportedly liked collecting animals in pairs Grin. The "negative" part of the clue references Noooooooo (ah)

Another good one, finallychangedmyusername. Thank you.

Here’s mine. A bit less cryptic this time, I think:

This lady or gentleman could be named after a place in Wales.
He/she has a namesake who is English (but not when he goes back and forth).
Calling him/her could start with an argument.

@Joinourclub brilliant guess :) I think your right

FintyTin · 17/03/2018 16:47

@Joinourclub you certainly are - well done!
Your turn. Smile

Ok, my clues aren't going to be as good as yours ....

This Scottish man is half shark , half pub.

(It makes sense to me, but I have opened a bottle of wine!)

Joinourclub · 17/03/2018 19:12

Actually, quick Google shows it should be an 'Irish man'.

A slightly cryptic one from me, then.

Her fortune is without end, and then she is unwell, and the drugs finish her off.

Bexter801 · 17/03/2018 22:48

You got it @joinourclub! (Though I was going for spelling it with two ls, Lucille)

Fortune without end - Luc is luck without the k
Unwell - ill
drugs finish her off - e
