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!

I'm thinking Martin Freeman as Dr Watson, Marty McFly and the clock tower in Back to the Future.... hmm, quite possibly heading off on a wrong tangent!

Ladywillpower · 27/05/2019 19:24

Ah finally you are so close!
When in London you may find me in Marylebone or Whitechapel.

Ladywillpower · 27/05/2019 19:30

Sorry Lady G missed your post. Not Edward. I didn't realise Edward Lear lived in Marylebone.

finallychangedmyusername · 27/05/2019 20:57

Ok yet again I'm not sure if this is really easy or not, here goes:

This name televisually links comical Catholicism, a sweet-toothed pup, and travelling back in time to the Highlands.

FintyTin · 30/05/2019 20:30

Thank you! I shall try not to Bungle the next clue.

This Biblical lady is traditionally more divisive in than scones in Britain. If you add a little extra to her name she becomes more comical but will still do you proud.
