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

Herschel?

Moe

Homer?

Or chris?

sorry to leave you all hanging
not there yet but @joinourclub is getting close. here is another clue

a writer shares this name

Hercules?

afraid not Bexter

Herman?

Herman,bright and yellow,comic strip guy....Herman Melville is a writer...feminine,Her-Man...oh do please utter the words I'm right!! Am I right?!

Halley

I'm sure you've got it @Bexter801!

bexter you are so close but I'm afraid thats not it.

the yellow clue comes from sesame street and the genre of writing is broadly sci fi

you have got the feminine bit though!

Herbert

Carol?

yes @joinourclub
well done, now over to you

Herbert - germanic name meaning bright
her - feminine reference
Bert - a yellow character in seasame street

sci fi writer - h g wells

A little miserable, a little fatal, a lot cold.

Aw no,I was so close

Matilda?

Sadie Frost

Elsa?

Oh @DuggeHugs you are a freaking genius that has to be right

I didn’t see DuggeeHugs’s post. That must be it, surely?

@FintyTin it's above yours? It says Sadie Frost

I saw it once I’d posted mine. I should’ve refreshed before posting.
