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:

1: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/3189874-guessing-game

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

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!

Belle/Bella?

LadyGAgain · 25/01/2020 22:53

Belle is correct! London refers to "oranges and lemons" and means beautiful in French. Over to you!

Ladywillpower · 26/01/2020 11:21

Fruity miner's daughter & political wife.

Ladywillpower · 26/01/2020 11:22

Sorry posted too soon. New clue as above.

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 01/02/2020 13:12

... and I'll come back with a new clue shortly when I've had a think. It'll be a new name (not on this list, partly as I love a challenge!) Grin

finallychangedmyusername · 01/02/2020 13:58

Here's a new one!

This energetic lady can be a petite version of her regal sister. She had reported romantic links to another author, who's name shares the first same initial letter.

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 04/02/2020 20:07

Does anyone want another clue?

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 04/02/2020 23:19

Yes please.

finallychangedmyusername · 05/02/2020 14:40

The regal sister could also adopt a political nickname.

OP posts:
myplateisfullenoughthanks · 05/02/2020 14:48

Margaret

finallychangedmyusername · 05/02/2020 20:48

Not Margaret, sorry

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 06/02/2020 20:51

The film The Hours provides a link to the novelists.

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 10/02/2020 18:03

Virginia (I cant work out why though I'm embarrassed to say!)

finallychangedmyusername · 11/02/2020 00:11

Nearly... Grin You're almost there. This lady was linked to Virginia romantically. They share the same first letter (V).

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 11/02/2020 04:15

Aaaah Vita/ Victoria?

finallychangedmyusername · 11/02/2020 15:19

Yep, Vita!

Vita meaning vitality, a possible nickname for Victoria and Vita Sackville-West (lover of Virginia Woolf).

Here's the baton! Grin

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 13/02/2020 13:16

I felt a bit of a fraud eventually getting the last clue.
Here goes anyway
I have travelled the world but my shortened form does not like the British seaside. I am equally at home on a settee or a bench.

LadyGAgain · 13/02/2020 22:40

Ooooh this is a gooood clue. My brain is already into overdrive!!!

finallychangedmyusername · 15/02/2020 09:26

Racking my brains.... Rainier?

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 15/02/2020 11:25

Not Rainier. It's a female name!

finallychangedmyusername · 16/02/2020 16:58

Misty? Michelle?

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 16/02/2020 18:10

Not Misty/Michelle.
The settee / bench clue relates to daytime tv.

Ellmau · 16/02/2020 23:07

Lorraine?
