Next up with a clue is:@finallychangedmyusername

Jonah?

Jeremy?

Right you are FintyTin! Straight back to you!

Diamond - Jem (gem) is a common nickname
Prankster - the late Jeremy Beatle
Not a good fisher - Beatrix Potter's Mr Jeremy Fisher

Beadle not Beatle!

I confess that was going to be my next name to set clues for, throwcushions. I was going to mention Mr Beadle, too, but I may have been uncomplimentary about a certain politician...so best that you got there first, I think!
Here’s mine:

She may come out of the river by herself, or be used by a number of friends.
She speaks out against derring-do; but might help comfort you with a cuppa before she performs to the auditorium.

Ok, this really has me flummoxed!

I'm pretty sure it's wrong but- Taylor?

Not Taylor, sorry.

Another clue?

Yes please!

Her dad helps add another layer.

Jennifer?

Frances?

Hannah?

No-one has it yet, sorry.

Ella?

Same?

Autocorrects fault! Dame?

Not Ella or Dame, either.

I'm gone crap at this game!!

Barbara?

Sorry, not Barbara either. Another clue:

A very famous owner of the name (although it’s not her birth name) had very big hair in the 80s - so big that it could confuse a nit!

Anita?

Tina?

Cher?

You’ve got it @trueblueari.

“She may come out of the river...” - Tina is from the old English Tyne or Tyna meaning river.
“...or be used by a number of friends.” The name can also be a nickname for Christina, Martina, Bettina.
Tina Turner (“...confuse a nit...”) had big hair and also declared that “We don’t need another hero!”
Tina Teaspoon (Button Moon) might help with your cuppa, and Tina (performs to the) Arena.
“Her father helps add another layer.” - patina.

Well done and over to you! [smile)
