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
