So, here it is, the fourth(!!!) Guessing Game baby names thread. Shock

All credit to @scotstar for creating the game, back in March 2018. Can't believe how far we've come!

Previous threads here:

The game is simple. Guess the name the poster is describing, then it's your turn! Make the clues as fiendish as you like. Grin

All are welcome to join in! @FintyTin, @Ladywillpower, @LadyGAgain and @DuggeeHugs, come join! (Plus others I've forgotten)

And since @Ladywillpower correctly guessed @FintyTin's last clue, this is @Ladywillpower**'s latest clue:

This old German name opened Pandora's box in 1929. Her royal connections meant that she waltzed off to one of the Channel Islands with the Doctor.

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

The royal princess is a real person from the 20C & is not English by birth though she had links to the British throne.

finallychangedmyusername · 27/08/2019 15:21

Caroline?

Ladywillpower · 27/08/2019 15:33

Not Caroline.
The north London clue refers to a place/ building.

Ladywillpower · 28/08/2019 02:59

The South London clue has connections to a reality tv star.

Ok will be back with next clue.

LadyGAgain · 01/09/2019 09:24

I’m usually female but can be male when used as a derivative of another name.
I’m a virginal sex kitten when in wedges and bare footed if you pull the right strings.
