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

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

Maud?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 15/07/2019 19:45

No.

Ladywillpower · 15/07/2019 20:06

Berengaria?

Ellmau · 15/07/2019 22:00

Yes!

Ellmau · 15/07/2019 22:02

Explanation of clues: It means shepherdess; the most famous one was the wife of Richard I of England, aka Richard the Lionheart, thought by some historians to be gay.

Ladywillpower · 16/07/2019 09:37

New clue
I have a recent affinity with big cats. Many did not agree with my wartime political stance but I was often a Welsh "saviour".

LadyGAgain · 16/07/2019 14:38

Donald?

Ladywillpower · 16/07/2019 21:24

Not Donald

Ladywillpower · 17/07/2019 11:21

My brother shares this name & also played the "beautiful game".

LadyGAgain · 17/07/2019 21:56

David (Lloyd-George)? (Beckham) (Attenborough - Cats)

Ladywillpower · 18/07/2019 03:41

Not David!
Probably more common as a surname than a first name.
The clue refers to both.
The wartime reference is WW2.

finallychangedmyusername · 18/07/2019 20:42

Winston?

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 19/07/2019 07:40

Not Winston, though close politically.
The big cats are lionesses!

finallychangedmyusername · 19/07/2019 18:16

Ah, Neville?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 19/07/2019 18:19

Phil Neville is coach for the England illnesses, his brother Gary Neville is another footballer. Neville Chamberlain was PM during wartime.

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 19/07/2019 18:20

Illnesses?! Autocorrect fail: - lionesses!

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 19/07/2019 19:01

Yes!
Well done finallychangedmy user name!
All correct & Neville Southall was the Welsh goalkeeper " saviour" .

finallychangedmyusername · 19/07/2019 19:08

Of course!

Right, I'm back to my 'seasonal' clues/names - since school's nearly 'out for the summer': ConfusedGrin

Adored teacher with unfavourable relative has links to a campaigner for healthier eating. For some this one's just too sickly sweet though.

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 20/07/2019 04:01

Honey?

finallychangedmyusername · 20/07/2019 08:46

Well played @Ladywillpower, the teacher is Miss Honey in Matilda (with her Aunt, the detested headmistress, The Trunchbull). Jamie Oliver's daughter Poppy has Honey as one of her names. Honey is sweet!

Ladywillpower · 20/07/2019 10:25

Another clue
An "historical comedian" I was recently active in SW19. I have scaled mountains & represented a South West constituency in Parliament.

finallychangedmyusername · 21/07/2019 18:00

Edmund? (Blackadder, Hillary, Kyle, not sure about the mp?!) Grin

OP posts:
Ladywillpower · 21/07/2019 19:22

Well done finally!
The MP (for Bristol) was the philosopher Edmund Burke.
Over to you

finallychangedmyusername · 21/07/2019 20:14

A persistently popular name for this young 'un. These three alliterative boys are a British composer and rabbit and a young boy on the big screen (or is he older than he first seems?)

Benjamin?
