@finallychangedmyusername has it!

All round = planet, beauty = meaning, deadly = Venus fly trap. 5 of 7 = Friday, 2 of 8 = planet. Sporting giant = Venus Williams

Back to you Smile

Fab clue again @DuggeeHugs and thanks @LadyGAgain. Smile

Ok, this would have been perfect (sort of) a week or two ago....

Straw in the meadow describes these two famous child actors who share this unisex name (spelt differently though).

DuggeeHugs · 09/11/2018 19:42

Bailey/Bailee?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 09/11/2018 22:10

Sorry not Bailey/Bailee

DuggeeHugs · 10/11/2018 15:40

Dakota?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 10/11/2018 16:04

Not Dakota. Your first guess was much closer.

DuggeeHugs · 10/11/2018 16:18

Hailey/Hayley?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 10/11/2018 17:11

That's the one!

Hay (straw) + lea (meadow). The two young thespian namesakes are Hayley Mills and Haley Joel Osment.

Oh and almost seasonal/timely with Bonfire night and fireworks > Halley's Comet (almost spelled the same).

DuggeeHugs · 11/11/2018 13:39

Ha! Good one @finallychangedmyusername DC1 has a book with a hay bailer in it, so I went the wrong way to begin with Smile

New clue in the timely theme:

This name has fought and journeyed bravely before finally navigating to sign the peace

finallychangedmyusername · 11/11/2018 22:05

Winston?

DuggeeHugs · 11/11/2018 22:20

Not Winston

OP posts:
temporarilyvoluntarilymerrily · 12/11/2018 09:56

Christopher?

DuggeeHugs · 12/11/2018 20:02

Not Christopher.

finallychangedmyusername · 13/11/2018 13:44

Frederick?

finallychangedmyusername · 13/11/2018 16:25

Or David? (David and Goliath = fought, Livingstone journeyed, St David = peace)?

DuggeeHugs · 13/11/2018 20:03

It isn't David. Frederick is closer

OP posts:
DuggeeHugs · 13/11/2018 20:06

A recent depiction of this name could be found among cattle

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 14/11/2018 11:28

Hadwin or Hedwin?

DuggeeHugs · 14/11/2018 23:04

It is more continental

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 15/11/2018 20:26

Ferdinand?

DuggeeHugs · 15/11/2018 21:36

Ferdinand it is!

Timely: Ferdinand Foch was the supreme allied commander who signed the armistice in 1918.

Ferdinand Magellan was the navigator and also travel/journey as the meanings of the name.

Ferdinand was also the Disney film about a bull. So I'm told.

@finallychangedmyusername is up next Smile

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 15/11/2018 23:10

Nice clue @DuggeeHugs!

Hopefully a nice easy one now:

This first name is shared by an
English town, a speedy cobbler and John's offspring.

DuggeeHugs · 16/11/2018 14:58

Chester?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 16/11/2018 15:44

Not Chester. I realise now that my clue might not make total sense. It's a first name that links the three clues. And the three clues each refer to namesakes. Each namesake has the same first name so the clues are to their surnames. Hope that makes more sense, apologies. (I blame my sickly baby who wouldn't let us sleep last night)...

thepoorestoftherichteabiscuits · 16/11/2018 16:24

Michael? (Bolton, Schumacher, Johnson?)
