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 has it!

FintyTin · 28/03/2018 15:29

Phew, that one made my brain ache Grin!

She might be innocently colouring with Iris; but some say she casts spells. She’s really just nutty!

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 15:42

Hazel?

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 15:43

Hazel?

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 15:44

Noooooooo,@DugeeHugs beat me to it!

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 15:47

@Bexter801 it suddenly came to me as I was laying the baby in the cot! I was sooooo careful making sure she didn't get jostled and wake up before I could get to my phone Grin

Hopefully it is correct...

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 15:51

@DuggeeHugs hopefully she stayed snoozing for youSmile I think definitely it's right

FintyTin · 28/03/2018 15:51

Yep, Hazel - we’ll done both! That was clearly not as cryptic as I intended Grin .

The baton is yours, DuggeeHugs...

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 16:03

Hurrah! Smile And DD had obligingly napped just long enough for this effort:

An air of graciousness surrounds this no nonsense young woman

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 17:01

DarkRoomDarren · 28/03/2018 17:57

Bexter801 · 28/03/2018 18:21

DuggeeHugs · 28/03/2018 18:53

Not Florence.

Sorry DarkRoomDarren
