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

No.

LadyGAgain · 24/05/2020 23:49

Vera

Ellmau · 25/05/2020 17:54

It's a boy's name. Could involve a few fireworks at home.

LadyGAgain · 26/05/2020 00:48

Orlando!!!!!

Ellmau · 26/05/2020 10:21

Yes!!! Well done @LadyGAgain.

Friend of Mickey points to Orlando in Florida
Flowery was meant to be Orlando BLOOM, but also Florida
Furiously = the poem Orlando Furioso
Fireworks at home = O Bloom's girlfriend Katy Perry

LadyGAgain · 26/05/2020 15:58

Thanks @Ellmau - great clues!!

Here goes.

She’s a Bond girl, a Diva, a front woman. One of the most famous women on the planet. She’s dirty.

finallychangedmyusername · 27/05/2020 22:50

Great clues @Ellmau!

Guess for @LadyGAgain's latest.... Solange?

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 27/05/2020 23:27

Not Solange Smile

Ellmau · 27/05/2020 23:54

Diana?

LadyGAgain · 28/05/2020 08:10

Yes @Ellmau has it. Diana Rigg, Diana Ross, Diana Princess of Wales and the song Dirty Diana.

Over to you!

Ellmau · 28/05/2020 21:52

This royal ancestress wants a bit of privacy in her bathroom. She plays in a brass band in Hyde Park.

Ellmau · 31/05/2020 12:18

Looks like I've baffled you all. Additional clue:

Starts with a taste of honey, then a little light.

Much older name.

Honor/Honora?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 01/06/2020 20:09

It's French, and three syllables.

LadyGAgain · 02/06/2020 20:28

Millicent?

Ellmau · 03/06/2020 20:26

No, but it does start with an M.

finallychangedmyusername · 04/06/2020 23:15

Melisande?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 05/06/2020 22:49

Very nearly right. First syllable is correct.
