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

  • the actress who played me in a movie was nominated for an Oscar
  • I should be a dentist

LadyGAgain · 21/09/2021 19:07

Bridget?

2TheMoonNBack · 21/09/2021 19:37

Well done!

  • the actress (Renee Zellweger) who played me (Bridget Jones) in a movie was nominated for an Oscar
  • I should be a dentist (bridge it)
  • let's play a card game (bridge) followed by some light refreshments (t for tea)
finallychangedmyusername · 21/09/2021 21:49

Well played @LadyGAgain!

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 21/09/2021 23:04

Oooh!! Great clues!!
Ok...
I'm a Russian scruffy rag Dolly

2TheMoonNBack · 22/09/2021 16:11

Tatiana?

Escourtie · 22/09/2021 18:16

Ann or Anne?

LadyGAgain · 23/09/2021 12:31

Yes @2TheMoonNBack has it! Scruffy - tatty. Rag Dolly Anna. And it's a Russian name. Over to you!

2TheMoonNBack · 23/09/2021 20:27
  • a familiar name with royal links
  • polite Japanese title for a Spanish neurologist, maybe
  • an Oscar winning actress who is very grounded
WatchMyChops · 23/09/2021 21:26
  • a familiar name with royal links (Samuel Chatto)
  • polite Japanese title for a Spanish neurologist, maybe (Sama?)
  • an Oscar winning actress who is very grounded (Samantha Morton?)

So I’m going for Sam 😬 Probably wrong

2TheMoonNBack · 23/09/2021 22:12

Some good guesses but no, not Sam.

2TheMoonNBack · 26/09/2021 14:33

Looks like I've broken the thread 🤦‍♀️.

finallychangedmyusername · 26/09/2021 15:03

Hmmmm.... Samara?

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 26/09/2021 16:20

No. Not Samara. Another clue?

Ellmau · 26/09/2021 16:52

Yes please!

Escourtie · 26/09/2021 17:21

Olivia?

2TheMoonNBack · 26/09/2021 17:32

Not Olivia.

New clue:

Although a German, the Oscar winning actress hates to drive fast.

Ellmau · 26/09/2021 17:43

Alexandra?

2TheMoonNBack · 26/09/2021 18:25

Very nearly.....

finallychangedmyusername · 26/09/2021 18:34

Alexandrina?

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 26/09/2021 19:22

Try a shorter version...the actress is well known on the pageant scene...

finallychangedmyusername · 26/09/2021 19:38

Ah, Sandra? Sandra Bullock in Speed?

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 26/09/2021 19:44

Yes! Well done!

  • a familiar name with royal links (Sandra - shortened version of Alexandra)
  • polite Japanese title for a Spanish neurologist, maybe (San, Japanese polite title + Dra, female doctor's title)
  • an Oscar winning actress who is very grounded (yes you got it Sandra Bullock who stared in Gravity, Speed, Ms Congeniality and is also a German citizen)

The things I've learned researching these clues!

finallychangedmyusername · 26/09/2021 20:24

Excellent work @2TheMoonNBack!

Here's another:

This beaky boy has floral links, along with his pal with whom he shares a first letter. He might prove costly (although not a problem for a tycoon namesake).

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 27/09/2021 20:52

For clarity: he only has floral links when he's with his pal.
