Guessing Game V

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.

And I'll post regarding the current name below!

Yes!

Several little sisters is a nod to Jo March in Little Women, as is the last clue.

Not tonight Josephine - the first wife of Napoleon.

And Josephine Baker - the Paris based African American jazz singer was involved in the French Resistance.

Your turn!

Excellent, I got the Jo March clue and then everything fell into place.

New name:

This watery Shakespearean name is so rare that it doesn't appear on the 2019 ONS baby names listing at all.

Cordelia or Marina?

Neither Cordelia nor Marina, sorry.

Nerissa?

Correct @Ellmau! Nerissa it is. Maybe that was too easy. Back to you!

OK.

A stylish royal.

Zara?

Yes - obviously too easy ;)

Here's a new one - not done previously. Hope it's a bit more cryptic than my last! 🤣

• Not an octuplet, yet one of eight.
• In good company with Thomas (and another/others), in more than one way.
• Depicts Arthur on a TV programme.
• He can provide for you in a dark hue.

James or Bradley? I can make James fit but stuck on the eight clue!

Sorry not James nor Bradley!

The TV programme (with Arthur) was set in an earlier era to that in which it was filmed.

In one sense he's also in good company with Richard. In the other with Edward.

Emmet?

I hasten to add....no idea why other than he goes with Edward (Cullen) and Emmet could be I'm eight in a regional accent 😂😂😂

sorry, it's not Emmet.

He's a household appliance.

Henry?

Not an octuplet, yet one of eight:

• Kings Henry I through to Henry VIII.

In good company with Thomas (and another/others), in more than one way.

• "Tom, Dick and Harry" - phrase reportedly created in the 17th century as there were so many Thomases, Richards and Henrys.
• Henry is one of the main characters in the Thomas the Tank Engine series (along with Edward).

Depicts Arthur on a TV programme:

• Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli in Happy Days.

He can provide for you in a dark hue.

• Henry Ford, of the Ford Motor Company was reported as having said (approximately) "You can have a car in any colour you want, as long as it's black".

Household appliance:

• Henry the Hoover

Well played @Ellmau! Over to you!

I only got it from the hoover, and then I did also think of Thomas the Tank engine ;)

New name:

He would die for you.

Maybe after taking a dodgy photo.

A bit of a hopeless romantic.

(Scrap the photo clue, that's one of his relatives...)
