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

Frank?

Brian?

Apologies for disappearing for so long.

I’ll rephrase clue 2 to “...going a single way.”

Clue 3 is a geographical reference (but not linked to Ireland).

Dennis?

Niall?

Brendan?

Or Dean?

Joinourclub has it!

At least two mediaeval high kings of Ireland were named Niall.
Niall Horan is a member of One Direction (‘single way”).
The River Nile (“sounds like” Niall) has two branches - the White Nile and the Blue Nile. I know Nile and Niall aren’t pronounced precisely the same, but it’s close enough for a clue, surely?

Over to you, Joinourclub...

Ashamed to say the only reason I guessed that was because of one direction!

Ok: this straight laced woman is sweet smelling and is ready to spring into action.

@Joinourclub your secret is safe with us Chanel?

Chantilly?

ooh that's surely it duggee

Nope

Prudence?

Hyacinth?

Coco?
Now?

Ah, autocorrect there. I was trying to guess: Noa

Chantelle?

Is she Posy?
Po faced? Smells good and ready to spring 'poised'. Or am I clutching at straws?!!

(just re read and live said straight laced not faced sorry my bad )

Violet

Primrose?

Finty has it!

Yay! Great clue, had me puzzling for ages!

I will have a think and be back in a short while...

Ok, a nice easy one for a Friday night:

Usually a surname, but can be a first name.
'L' is a clue, but not initially.
He might sing along with one of our game's players.
