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)

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

LadyGAgain · 17/02/2020 02:20

Judy?

LadyGAgain · 17/02/2020 02:21

Ah Judith/Judy?

finallychangedmyusername · 17/02/2020 06:19

I think you're right with Judy @LadyGAgain! But I don't understand the "travelled the world" clue... ConfusedSmile

LadyGAgain · 17/02/2020 07:37

Might it relate to Judith Chalmers who presented the Holiday programme? Punch and Judy and Richard and Judy.

Ladywillpower · 17/02/2020 07:43

Well done & spot on analysis LadyGAgain!
The Judy on the bench is "Judge Judy".
Over to you

finallychangedmyusername · 17/02/2020 18:24

Ah, well played! As ever I am eagerly awaiting the next clue/name!

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 17/02/2020 18:29

Oooh I love Judge Judy. "If it walks like a duck..." I digress. New clue...

LadyGAgain · 17/02/2020 18:29

This unisex name brings up seasonal connotations. He was a Hollywood great - as a headliner and an animation. Famous for comedy. She’s a Scandinavian singer. He’s the stuff of legends though the lines are a bit blurred.

Ellmau · 17/02/2020 19:52

Robin.

LadyGAgain · 17/02/2020 21:16

Boom! Well done!
Robin the bird, Williams, Robyn the singer, Robin Hood and Thicke.
Over to you @Ellmau !

Ellmau · 18/02/2020 19:50

She's an oracle.

Ladywillpower · 19/02/2020 04:55

Sibyl?

Ellmau · 19/02/2020 19:20

Yes.

LadyGAgain · 19/02/2020 22:52

Wow another swift and correct answer! Please can you explain the name @Ellmau ? And well done! New clue!!

Ladywillpower · 20/02/2020 08:56

Sybil was a prophetess "oracle" in Greek legend.
New clue
I am one of the smaller of my sex. I am two types of singer/ songwriter & sometimes may fly away.

LadyGAgain · 21/02/2020 07:20

Randy?

Ladywillpower · 21/02/2020 08:20

Not Randy!
Female name again & the singer/ songwriter clue is completely separate from the reference to flying.
Sorry when I read it back it was rather misleading 😞

LadyGAgain · 21/02/2020 12:18

Kylie?

Ladywillpower · 22/02/2020 06:35

Not Kylie!
My name derives from an Old French meaning & had a revival in 19 & 20 centuries.
