Next up with a clue is:@finallychangedmyusername

Another owner of the name is known for being lovely.

Joan?

Ah, could it be Deborah? (Book of Judges = fairness, Dragon's Den Deborah Meaden = fiery, busy as a bee)

It could indeed, @finallychangedmyusername - you nailed it the clues.

I was going for a double meaning on the ‘fairness’ - Deborah Harry (Blondie) as well as the Biblical reference. My last clue alluded to ‘the lovely Debbie McGee’.

Well done, and over to you .

Yay, thank you @FintyTin! I got the busy bee clue quite early (hence my guess of Beatrice) but struggled to take that any further until inspiration finally hit me. Good clues!

(Is anyone else singing "Your name was Deborah, Deb-o-rah. It never suited ya.."?! Showing my age possibly!)

Anyway, next name:

She can have her centre drawn out, yet is completely happy. To her friends she's a cool beverage, over in a quick swish and invoiced.

A 3rd thread! I thought it had died a death! You are all far too clever for me lol

@finallychangedmyusername - I have been singing it all day .

@Scotstar - thank you for starting it all off!

Gemima?

Not Gemima sorry

Giniveve?

Nope sorry

Regina? (I'm getting desperate! Not got one right in ages)

Sorry @Bexter801, it's not Regina.

Felicity?

I think it fits everything (centre drawn out - elicit, completely happy is name meaning, cool beverage is the nickname Fizz and swish is the nickname Flick? Just can't figure out invoiced! Fee??)

Thank you Scotstar for the brilliant thread! But also curse you because I am so addicted I can't stop checking it!!

Oh well done @throwcushions you must be right 🙂

Well done @throwcushions! You got the reasoning too:

"Drawing out her centre" is to elicit something. And you can actually elicit the word "elicit" from Felicity. F-elicit-y.

"...yet is completely happy" = as a complete name, Felicity, the name means happiness.

And yes the second sentence refers to possible nicknames for Felicity ("...to her friends"). "Cool beverage" is fizz/Fizz or fizzy/Fizzy, "over in a swish" is a flick/Flick and "invoiced" is indeed a fee/Fee/Fe.

Over to you!

That was a great one!

Here's mine:

She is a dark saint, at once fruity and spicy!

Victoria?

Or Melanie?

I think @FintyTin is probably correct with Victoria but just in case.... Juniper?

Not Juniper!

FintyTin is indeed correct (very quick!) but with Melanie.

Dark is the meaning of the name. There are two saints named Melanie.

Fruity is melon-y (groan!)

Spicy is the two Spice Girls named Melanie.

You're up FintyTin!

Yay! That was a fun one @throwcushions (especially the fruity clue), thank you!
I guessed that the saint clue was All Saints (Melanie Blatt), but I think I was just in the girl groups groove by then.

Give me a few minutes to think...

Well done @FintyTin - you're so good at this game?

Oops, sorry, I got distracted by Poldark! Thank you @finallychangedmyusername - how did you guess? More addict than expert, though.

Hopefully this one isn’t ridiculously easy:

This Welsh chap can be a bit unkind when he goes by the book. He might be in trouble with the bank, or he could be defending the planet in secret.
