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:

3: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/3262724-Guessing-game-III?pg=1ℴ=

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)

Right, these are all the names we've described so far...

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!

Oooh - well in my brain it was Vettel (formula 1) and the crab but yours works too!

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 22/09/2019 06:01

That makes sense. I really just thought crap and then tried to think of a fast Sebastian to fit!

I’ll get on with devising another clue...

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 24/09/2019 15:49

I totally forgot it was my turn - sorry!

He sounds sweet to the American ear, but grittier back across the pond.
While the name originates from England or Scotland, one of its most famous (and funny) current bearers hails from the Emerald Isle.

TheGirlWhoLived · 24/09/2019 17:07

Graham? Golden grahams? Graham norton...

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 24/09/2019 18:25

Yes! I was thinking Graham Crackers (sweet), whereas the meaning of Graham, apparently, is ‘gravelly homestead’ (grittier). And, of course, Graham Norton.

Well done @TheGirlWhoLived! Over to you...

finallychangedmyusername · 26/09/2019 10:14

Nice clues everyone, looking forward to the next one @TheGirlWhoLived!

Sorry! I’m up to my eyeballs (looking after a friends 18 month old... forgot how all-consuming it is Gin )

Could someone else take this one?

TheGirlWhoLived · 27/09/2019 12:01

Oh mine wasn’t a clue, that’s my real life Grin

DuggeeHugs · 27/09/2019 16:11

You're still here! I'm absurdly pleased the game is still in play Grin

finallychangedmyusername · 27/09/2019 19:25

Grin You're all making me laugh (although that could well be the glass of vino after a hard week). Here's another, if you'd like:

She's a sailor, he's not a prisoner and has a velvety voice and finally this guy, combined with his pal Stan will make you rich.

Looking forward to your new clue @Clettercletterthatsbetter Grin

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 01/10/2019 14:27

Sorry @LadyGAgain - things are a bit mad here. Would you mind taking my turn for me?

LadyGAgain · 02/10/2019 23:34

Yikes sorry just saw this. I'll try and post tomorrow. I'm in the midst of 15 hour work days in a week that only the sodding euromillions could save me from (still a few weeks left to play right!) 😁

LadyGAgain · 04/10/2019 13:26

I am a first, an actor and frontman royalty. Watch out - if I get cold feet you might fall about laughing.

Great choice, @LadyGAgain, I have one myself! Grin

Next clue:

First name linking these three ladies: Doyle's detective, a stream and almost an 80s rodent. Or he's one of a couple of famous musicians with this surname.
