Guessing game V!
Merry twixmas! 
We have reached thread 5(!) of the baby names Guessing Game.
This was the (brilliant) brain child of @scotstar back in March 2018. 
All are welcome, rules of this game are pretty straightforward - someone describes a name. Whoever solves the clues is then in charge of describing the next name. Simple! Make the clues as fiendish or straightforward as you like.

finallychangedmyusername · 26/12/2020 11:15
Clues so far for this next name have been:
- Infant photographer/Shirley + paste + taste + vehicle.
- The infant photographer/Shirley is also a princess and a literary sister.
- She's a little pickle.
The first syllable has been correct guessed - it's Anne. (The infant photographer is Anne Geddes, Shirley is Anne Shirley of Green Gables, the princess is Princess Anne, and Anne Bronte is the literary sister.)
But what is the full name?!
LadyGAgain · 26/12/2020 13:58
Well done and thank you @finallychangedmyusername .
finallychangedmyusername · 26/12/2020 15:09
Thanks @LadyGAgain.
One more clue - this name is sort of seasonal (festive).
LadyGAgain · 26/12/2020 16:02
Angel?
Angelica!!
finallychangedmyusername · 26/12/2020 16:28
Yes indeed, Angelica!
Anne + gel (paste) + lick (taste) + car (vehicle).
Angelica Pickles was a character in Rugrats (and she was quite a little pickle/madam as I recall!).
And yes, meaning "angel".
Over to you, @LadyGAgain!
TheRealBoswell · 26/12/2020 17:00
Bravo!
LadyGAgain · 26/12/2020 23:49
Ooooh!! Thank you for the extra clues! I'll have a think and be back
LadyGAgain · 26/12/2020 23:56
This name is a name in its own right. And also a shortened version of the female December baby.
Part of a close family who drove the nation crazy in the mid-90’s.

Abby?
TheRealBoswell · 27/12/2020 07:46
Joe?
LadyGAgain · 27/12/2020 10:37
Neither of those
TheRealBoswell · 27/12/2020 12:40
Ok. Any extra clues?
finallychangedmyusername · 27/12/2020 22:05
Tia/Celestia?
LadyGAgain · 27/12/2020 22:33
Tia is close!
finallychangedmyusername · 27/12/2020 22:44
Tamara/Tamar?
LadyGAgain · 27/12/2020 22:45
She might feel shackled or near a flowing body of water.
finallychangedmyusername · 28/12/2020 21:38
Tatiana / Tanya?
htbzllhcR · 29/12/2020 01:49
Tala?
htbzllhcR · 29/12/2020 01:53
Tiana?
htbzllhcR · 29/12/2020 01:58
Tina?
LadyGAgain · 29/12/2020 08:04
Yes @htbzllhcR it's Tina!
Tina is a name in it's own right but a female version of Christ/ina.
Tina was a member of the Dingles in Emmerdale.
Tina Arena was in chains and Tina Turner was rolling on the river in Proud Mary.
Over to you!
finallychangedmyusername · 29/12/2020 09:37
Well played @htbzllhcR! Looking forward to the next one.
htbzllhcR · 29/12/2020 11:41
Yay! I was pretty sure of it once I'd written Tina. Next clue upcoming..
TheRealBoswell · 29/12/2020 11:59
I thought it might be Christina/Tina but then this clue threw me off:
Part of a close family who drove the nation crazy in the mid-90’s.
I’ve never watched Emmerdale so I initially thought:
This name is a name in its own right = Jo/Joe
And also a shortened version of the female December baby. = Josephine as the feminine version of Joseph
Part of a close family who drove the nation crazy in the mid-90’s. = Joey from Friends (they’re sort of like a family?)
And then I had no idea about the last clue.
htbzllhcR · 29/12/2020 12:03
The first syllable roughly rhymes with the name of a French designer label.
It is a combination of two names, one of which is a British Royal name.
I can give more away after a couple of guesses 😊
