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

Laurel

No to both and yeah,a male

Eric?

Derrick?

Emeric?

Haha, am I close? Getting carried away! I'll stop now 😂

@clairehr hahaha no chick! ,not close

😂 Back to the drawing board...

Everest?

Norman

No to both,should I give another clue?

Yes please Bexter!

Okay.......he could light up your life,but maybe not in a good way

Not Lucifer (again)?

Oh I wasn't aware it was already used,but yes

There's a list on p.11
Andrew, Serafina, Eli, Verity, Juliet, Agatha, Phoebe, Frances, Rebecca, Thomas, Cecilia, Leonard, Bianca, Charlotte, David, Martha, Piper, Donald, Peter, Niamh, Lucifer, Demelza, Nevaeh, Alexander, Christopher, Miranda, William, Robert, Jack, Jude, Rachel, Hyacinth, Aurora

I think this is actually the old devil's third mention.....

Now I'd better scan back and make sure my chosen name hasn't already been done....

Ah darn,I actually thought I as being quite crafty using such an unusual name....

List from p.22
Andrew, Serafina, Eli, Verity, Juliet, Agatha, Phoebe, Frances, Rebecca, Thomas, Cecilia, Leonard, Bianca, Charlotte, David, Martha, Piper, Donald, Peter, Niamh, Lucifer, Demelza, Nevaeh, Alexander, Christopher, Miranda, William, Robert, Jack, Jude, Rachel, Margaret, Basil, Hyacinth, Aurora, Jessamine, Nicola, Kerry, Susan, Seren, Julia, Meredith, Bernard, Arthur, Ross, Blanche, Amy, Alicia, Stephen/Steven, Talitha/Tabitha, Ruth, Noah, Rowan, Lucille, Kit (Christian), Alice, Lydia, Beatrice

It's hard to check because sometimes there are loads of names suggested so you have to read quite carefully.

OK, I think I'm in the clear with this one.
A foreign variant of a traditional British boys' name which is becoming popular again.
The foreign name looks and sounds as if it's a diminutive, but it isn't.
He probably wouldn't be very welcome in Wales.

Thanks for the list. Bit stuck on this one, so I'll just guess Henri for now!

Further clue: there is, however, an area of the UK where he'd feel very much at home.
(I'm going out for the evening in a couple of hours so if you don't want to be hanging on overnight.....)

Claire... no, but you've got the right idea.. although the names are more different than Henry and Henri.

Jordi? Sounds like a diminutive of George (hence not welcome in Wales on account of slaying a dragon), but feels at home on Tyneside?

Well done Finty, Jordi it is! The Catalan Saint, the equivalent of George.

Just rejoining this thread.... love that Lucifer has been mentioned three times! I had thought I was being original - clearly not!

Here's the updated list of what's been done so are for all your info (I've only listed Lucifer once):

Andrew, Serafina, Eli, Verity, Juliet, Agatha, Phoebe, Frances, Rebecca, Thomas, Cecilia, Leonard, Bianca, Charlotte, David, Martha, Piper, Donald, Peter, Niamh, Lucifer, Demelza, Nevaeh, Alexander, Christopher, Miranda, William, Robert, Jack, Jude, Rachel, Margaret, Basil, Hyacinth, Aurora, Jessamine, Nicola, Kerry, Susan, Seren, Julia, Meredith, Bernard, Arthur, Ross, Blanche, Amy, Alicia, Stephen/Steven, Talitha/Tabitha, Ruth, Noah, Rowan, Lucille, Kit (Christian), Alice, Lydia, Beatrice, Mary (via Polly, Holly and Moll), Jennifer, Keith, Aurelia, Aram, Oliver, Anouk, Heidi, Seth, Rose, Herbert, Sadie, Florence, Niall, Primrose, Ellis, Jordi

Thank you, SquirrelsareUs . Welcome back finallychangedmyusername and thanks for the update, it saved me a lot of mooching!

Apologies for taking so long with this - bedtime was a little challenging this evening!

She hides a shorter girl. She’s twice a solo man; but you can’t tell if she’s coming or going.

Salome?
