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

BBQueen · 29/03/2018 08:36

Yes Duggee, I was thinking of Roxanne. Too easy?

DuggeeHugs · 29/03/2018 08:41

@BBQueen - not too easy, I was just lucky that I'd looked up Roxana recently for something else and she's the only Ancient Grecian Kings wife I know Grin

New clue:

Her varied career has seen her carry on from midwife to publican
