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

Chantal?
Well done!

Chant - Pope Gregory of Gregorian chant fame likes to sing football chants with his mates at the match.

Jamal works too!

Well done @finallychangedmyusername and great clues @2TheMoonNBack

finallychangedmyusername · 12/09/2021 18:02

Thanks @2TheMoonNBack and @LadyGAgain, here's another!

This guy will make you laugh: either with his comedic slapstick approach, or dry, intellectual witty dialogue, else just using a puppet or cartoon! You'll feel great after visiting him. The final namesake is not quite the picture of health - sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll were more his vibe.

Escourtie · 12/09/2021 18:48

is it Jeff?

2TheMoonNBack · 12/09/2021 19:17

Jim?

finallychangedmyusername · 12/09/2021 21:34

Very quick @2TheMoonNBack, it is Jim!

Slapstick comedy actor is Jim Carrey.
Actor with dry, intellectual wit is Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory)
Cartoonist is Jim Davidson (Garfield)
Puppeteer is Jim Henson (The Muppets)
You'll feel healthy at the gym!
Sex, drugs and rock n roll for the late Jim Morrison of the Doors.

Back to you! Grin
