Next up with a clue is:@finallychangedmyusername

Yep you got it! That was quick! Max.

The physicist Max Planck was the Nobel prize winner, the crazy films are the Mad Max series, the martyr is Saint Maximilian (who was probably Max to his mates!) And 'ultimate' is, of course, max(imum). Over to you @DuggeeHugs!

Great clues again @finallychangedmyusername

Whether her epic adventures are steam-powered or fast enough to launch a rocket, she will always be able to offer an eloquent narrative.

Nicole?

Emily?

Neither I'm afraid

Edith?

Not Edith either. This name is more Mediterranean.

Ooh, Sabrina?

@DuggeeHugs, are you there?

Sorry @finallychangedmyusername I'm all over the shop atm

Not Sabrina. It's a very old name. Ancient, even.

I'm struggling .... Claudia?

I honestly am stumped!!

Oh I'm sorry - I have a colleague with this name but it probably isn't very common.

How about:
They'll phone I wish

Calliope?

Yes, it is Calliope! The muse of eloquence and epic poetry whose name was given to a steam powered musical instrument and a tank used for launching rockets. Broken down to: Call I 'ope!

All yours @finallychangedmyusername and apologies for the obscurity

Can't believe it took me so long! Particularly since Calliope is one of my love-it-but-don't-know-if-I'd-be-brave-enough-to-bestow names! Great clues @DuggeeHugs.

Next one:
This gentleman is linked by a composer and rock'n'roller. But is this man an island? Or does he feel (in part) floaty light? Only he can tell you, out loud.

Wow well done @finallychangedmyusername . I would NEVER have got that (so stupid). @DuggeeHugs you continue to rule!

Right... time to read new clues!

Ed?

Haha, if I'm honest, my love of Calliope comes, in part, from Thomas the Tank Engine (there's a whole episode about a calliope). Ah the joys of toddlers!

Not Ed sorry

Paul?

@finallychangedmyusername on paper it sounds too much as a name, but my colleague Calliope is really lovely and the name suits her brilliantly. Although she does say that everyone comments on how cool/great/unusual the name is!

DS is a recent Thomas convert so I await the Calliope episode with interest

Thanks @LadyGAgain

for all because January seems to be lasting about 20 years

Yum, cake! I needed that, thanks @DuggeeHugs! (Currently watching Thomas. AGAIN. )

Sorry, it's not Paul.

It's not necessarily the rock n roller' s first name...

Stewart?

On the Thomas front, have you watched Day of the Diesels? DS is slightly obsessed with it. Prime is a double edged sword

Yep, we've worked our way through all of the Thomas Prime movies at least a couple of times - the freebies certainly! DS1 is obsessed and DS2, at a year old, is also following in his big brother's shoes. It could be worse...(Paw Patrol, I'm looking at you)...

It's not Stewart. The final sentence tells you you'll know how to pronounce the name when it's spoken, "Toe-MAY-toe, toe-MARR-toe" sort of thing...
