Guessing game V!

Merry twixmas! Xmas Grin

We have reached thread 5(!) of the baby names Guessing Game.

This was the (brilliant) brain child of @scotstar back in March 2018. Smile

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. Grin

Ace!

finallychangedmyusername · 10/08/2021 21:46

Yes @Ellmau!

  • Ace Venture, Pet Detective (90s film) will help you search for your lost kitten/other pets.
  • The upmarket household appliance is SMEG. Arnold "Ace" Judas Rimmer from Red Dwarf was often nicknamed Smeg-head by crew mate Dave Lister.
  • Great = ace.
  • Kings and queens / other numbers too / aged 1 or 11 - deck of cards (containing 4 Aces. Ace is valued at 1 or 11).
  • You might score with this guy / Wimbledon = serving an ace in tennis

Over to you! Grin

It's a unisex name, although more commonly given to males. It's an occupational name.

Chandler
