Guessing Game

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

FintyTin · 28/03/2018 09:24

Well done clairehr! Nice clues, DuggeeHugs.
Still a bit Shock that anyone would name their child Gandalf, but actually I’ve heard worse.

Mrsabc1 you have to guess a clue to give a clue!

clairehr correctly guessed the last name, so it's her 'turn' to give the next set of clues.

Mrsabc1 · 28/03/2018 11:17

Aw well i saw catra had given a clue so i thought the game had evolved...

clairehr · 28/03/2018 11:27

YAY!!

Ok...

11 strikes and this girl is thought of most. A wild girl at heart. Most recently portrayed as relentlessly upbeat.
