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

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

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

Well played @LadyGAgain and nice clues @IslaMann!

LadyGAgain · 12/05/2019 17:39

Thank you! Loving the weekend inspiration. Ok, here goes...

She’s utterly musical. She’s double trouble which is most confusing especially in matters of the heart. She’s the first and got the triple.

Ladywillpower · 13/05/2019 00:19

Violet?

LadyGAgain · 13/05/2019 06:24

Not quite!

FintyTin · 13/05/2019 12:53

Viola?

LadyGAgain · 13/05/2019 22:45

Yes @FintyTin . Viola is a truly musical instrument, the twin in Twelfth Night who confused love. And Viola Davis was the first black actress to win a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony - which is known as the triple!

Over to you Grin

finallychangedmyusername · 16/05/2019 19:22

@FintyTin, please can we have another name/clue?

OP posts:
FintyTin · 21/05/2019 20:10

Hello again. Huge apologies for disappearing, I was avoiding t’internet for a few days whilst catching up on Game of Thrones!
Top clues, LadyGAgain!
I’ve scoured the list and, I can’t see this one...

This lady may be an early ‘best friend’ for the nation’s children. She’s rock solid but sings of peace and love to the nations.

LadyGAgain · 23/05/2019 12:31

Bette/Betty? Really scratching my head here! Well done @FintyTin !

Ladywillpower · 23/05/2019 12:51

Petra? A wild guess!

finallychangedmyusername · 23/05/2019 18:44

Valerie?

FintyTin · 24/05/2019 09:25

You’ve got it, @Ladywillpower.

Petra was one of the first Blue Peter pets. The name means stone. Petra Mede (along with Måns Zelmerlöw) performed one of the best-ever Eurovision songs: ‘Love Love Peace Peace’.
(I’m still in that post-Eurovision slump, so need to watch this performance again.)

Over to you...

Ladywillpower · 24/05/2019 16:25

Thank you Finty, got me reminiscing about Shep & all (sorry my age).
Here we go
You may recognise me from the various areas of London I frequent. My poetry may nowadays be read in the "popular" press.

finallychangedmyusername · 24/05/2019 23:01

Well played @Ladywillpower... I got as far as Blue Peter but couldn't crack the code.

Will done my thinking cap for your new clue. Grin

Is it Todd? As in sweeney Todd barber of Fleet Street/ Fleet Street press?

Ladywillpower · 25/05/2019 01:01

Not Todd.

LadyGAgain · 25/05/2019 06:38

Belle?

Ladywillpower · 25/05/2019 07:38

Not Belle.
It's a chap! Sorry the clue didn't make that clear.

finallychangedmyusername · 25/05/2019 10:49

Austin?

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 25/05/2019 15:32

Not Austin.

Ladywillpower · 26/05/2019 15:55

An extra bank holiday clue.
I live in a fictional English village with my woodland friends.

finallychangedmyusername · 26/05/2019 19:49

Christopher? Christopher Robin lived in Hundred Acre Wood, Christopher Poindexter as the poet, various London addresses containing the name Christopher?

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 26/05/2019 20:48

Not Christopher but good reasoning.
You may find me in the East End or Marylebone!

LadyGAgain · 27/05/2019 08:39

Edward? Edward Lear - Limericks and lived in Marylebone?

finallychangedmyusername · 27/05/2019 08:59
