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

Yep sorry @HecatesBroom. So close!

Thank you. Can you give me a minute or two?

I wasn’t lurking, btw, I was driving home from work

I thought Holly was a nickname for Mary but now I've done a bit of googling I can't seem to back up my claim. Apologies all, I really managed to bollocks up this clue... sorry all.

Right, got one. Sorry if it’s rubbish - I’ve had a rather long day!

In her original form she was a queen.
With babies she proved her worth.
In short, she’ll have you in a spin.

elizabeth

Theresa?

Victoria

Diana

Sarah

Anne? I'm just clutching at anything here,need to get at least one!

No-one has it yet. The queen was rather legendary...

Sorry, I meant to say thanks to finallychangedmyusername for the ‘names so far’ update.

Matilda?

Abigail?

Or Emma? (Original format as Queen Amelia, Baby Spice Emma Burton and hurricane Emma)

Oooooh I think @finally might have it! I was just randomly guessing queens’ names .

That was such an excellent break down finally; I feel really bad saying that it’s not the one I was thinking of! Sorry.

Fans of Call The Midwife may find it easier...

I had a feeling Emma wasn't right. I'm hopeful again....
Jennifer?

Queen Guinevere in her original form.
Jennifer Grey - No one puts baby in the corner
Jenny spinning top.

Ah! I hadn’t thought of the Dirty Dancing link, I was getting at Jennifer Worth who wrote the Call The Midwife books. Either way you nailed it finallychanged!

Haha, excellent. @Bexter801 I'm rooting for you on this next one (which I hope I won't screw up, like I did for my clues for Mary!):

This out of favour boys name has namesakes of a famous-in-his-own-rights spouse of an Aussie actress, a 60s rock n roll band member and a deceased English TV presenter who went by a nickname formed from his surname.

Keith (urban, moon & cheggers)

Flippin’ ‘eck! I was only mooching on another thread for a few minutes and it looks like I’ve already missed the bus on this one!
@LadyGAgain that has to be right!

I'm proper excited to find out. Was up half the night thinking about the queen one and actually got Guinevere but couldn't get any further!

I know what you mean. I am spending wayyyy too much mental time and energy on this game!

Hahaha me too @FintyTin ! It's the most fun game I've played on here!

Sorry for disappearing everyone, just been to baby yoga!

@LadyGAgain has it, Keith! I love it (am sure I am in the minority but heh); It's my Dad's name. Anyway, over to you for the next one @LadyGAgain!
