Next up with a clue is:@finallychangedmyusername

Fabulous clues @finallychangedmyusername ! I especially liked the Adele and Delly clues because they stumped me utterly

This is my latest offering:

A wealthy warrior, although more commonly an actress, you might need her if you suddenly take a turn for the worse

Glad you liked my clues for Adelaide.

I keep getting drawn to Emma... meaning nurse, actresses Thompson and Watson?

Not Emma, I'm afraid.

The actress bit of the clue is the least strong

Hello!
So sorry for absence. A new role at work has meant a snorkel and treading water are essential skills... I do keep checking in but brainspan hasn't lended to adding any value!

So my brain says Xena or Zena. Probably as I saw warrior.🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Congrats on the new role @LadyGAgain!

I have no further guesses, @DuggeeHugs has stumped me!

Hi @LadyGAgain - sounds like you've been chucked in at the deep end! Some to keep you going

In terms of guesses, it isn't either of those I'm afraid.

This name is back in fashion at the moment, but sounds like a diminutive rather than a full name, even though it works in its own right

Also, I'll update the original clue to:

... you might need to find her if you suddenly take a turn for the worse

Sorry name change fail there

I was excited there for a moment that we had a new player!

I was going to guess Florence but I don't think it's a diminutive.. Except from maybe Florencia?!

Sorry to disappoint there

Not Florence I'm afraid.

I'll try and think of a better clue!

Ooh, Edie?

E D = emergency department. Edie means "rich in war". Diminutive of Edith. I'm at a loss with the actress clue though!

Yep, @finallychangedmyusername , Edie it is!

You are correct on all counts. The actresses are the Edies Sedgewick, McClurg, Falco and Inksetter to name but a few. My reasoning being there were far more Edie actresses than warriors. It was pretty tenuous in fairness. I hoped the E.D. clue would make up for it!

Over to you...

Well done @finallychangedmyusername and excellent clues as ever @DuggeeHugs !

Welcome @Cosmoa

Yay! Next clue coming shortly, but thought I'd provide an updated list of names used so far... it's quite amazing:

Andrew, Serafina, Eli, Verity, Juliet, Agatha, Phoebe, Frances, Rebecca, Thomas, Cecilia, Leonard, Bianca, Donald, Peter, Niamh, Lucifer, Demelza, Nevaeh, Alexander, Christopher, Miranda, William, Robert, Jack, Jude, Rachel, Margaret, Basil, Hyacinth, Aurora, Jessamine, Nicola, Kerry, Susan, Seren, Julia, Meredith, Bernard, Arthur, Ross, Blanche, Amy, Alicia, Stephen/Steven, Talitha/Tabitha, Ruth, Noah, Rowan, Lucille, Kit, Alice, Lydia, Beatrice, Mary, Jennifer, Keith, Aurelia, Aram, Oliver, Anouk, Heidi, Seth, Rose, Herbert, Sadie, Florence, Niall, Primrose, Ellis, Jordi, Hannah, Hermione, Johnny, Angelina, Frieda, Adam, Gandalf, Poppy, Hazel, Jane, Afton, Susan, Roxanne, Barbara, Stewart/Stuart, Philomena, Isaac, Rufus, Elsa, Morris/Maurice, Ken, Iona, Mark, Roger, Wilfred, Darren, Geraldine, Pascal, Harriet, Russell, Alfred, Nora, Scott, Enid, Jonathan, Nelly, Arlo, Pearl, Beverley, Dana, Toby, Clifford, Cecilia, Lisa, Tallulah, Liam, Declan, Kenneth, George, Rayna, Kezia, Annika, Chantilly, Quinn, Sally, Cornelius, Darcy/Darcie, Peter, Nina, Gabrielle, Marcus, Bruce, Rod, Joshua, Luke, Eve, Belle, Sabrina, Ariadne, David, Martin, Theresa, Breda, Nicodemus, Samuel, Hector, Shiloh, Phryne, Gordon, Cora, Gregory, Aurora, Meghan, Dermot, Paige, Urban, Carter, Ludovic, Harvey, Kristin, Laurence, Cecil, Richard, Penelope, Deborah, Felicity, Melanie, Owen/Owain, Caroline/Carrie, Abigail, Esmeralda, Christabel, Aneurin, Earl, Christine, Clare/Clair/Claire, Jeremy, Tina, Aria, Byron, Patrick, Casper, Imogen, Victoria, Percy, Jean, Sterling, Belinda, Jared, Yael/Jael, Sarah, Scarlett, Zoe, Elspeth, Holly, Gene, Ruth, Sylvester, Erwin, Gladys, Bethany, Fabian, Damian, Helen, Autumn, Venus, Hayley, Ferdinand, Michael, Portia, Katy, Linus, Timothy, Viola, Jacob, Holly, Donna, Ivy, Kevin, Clarence, Nicholas/Nick, Howard, Natalie, Naomi, Max, Calliope, Aaron, Yolanda, Adelaide, Edie...

And now...

Anyone in the arts would be proud to have this guy in their home, even though he's grumpy around children (and a bit dirty too). He might be a convict, poet or fashionista.

Wow @finallychangedmyusername that list is really something!

I'm going with Roald as my first guess

Not Roald although I see your thinking!

The three gentleman in the second sentence are all namesakes.

Hmm.

Philip?

Oscar?

Yep indeedy, Oscar!

An actor would be proud to have an oscar in their home.
Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street is grumpy and lives in a bin (so would be dirty).
The convict is Pistorious, poet is Wilde and fashionista is De La Rente.

Renta, even. Typo, sorry!

Ah, good clues and timely too @finallychangedmyusername

I got Wilde and De La Renta but forgot Pistorious.

As a total aside, I'm quite looking forward to the Oscars red carpet stuff but not sure about the ceremony without a host!

I'll put my thinking cap on for another name

Another one for you:

Already leading the pack, she's neck and neck in her next challenge. Having a faery horde probably helps.
