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

Rhiannon?

OP posts:
RiaOverTheRainbow · 30/10/2021 00:13

Got it!

Per your last email = re
article = an
preposed (preposition) = on

Woman who is musical after dark = Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night (Fleetwood Mac song)

Regarding one who hides their name = re anon

And Rhiannon, the figure in Welsh mythology, has three birds and is the guides of horses.

RiaOverTheRainbow · 30/10/2021 00:13

*goddess of horses

finallychangedmyusername · 31/10/2021 19:10

Excellent @RiaOverTheRainbow!

Here's another ghoulish one! Grin

This Halloween, this perfect-visioned (or perfectly visible) lady and reindeer-lover might be frightened by a flock of sheep.

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 02/11/2021 22:38

I'm stuck!

Ellmau · 03/11/2021 07:43

That's a very hard clue, we need something easier ;)

finallychangedmyusername · 03/11/2021 18:32

She'll discuss her fear of sheep with a doctor.

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 03/11/2021 18:47

Clarice! Needed that extra clue!

finallychangedmyusername · 03/11/2021 20:18

Yes indeedy!

Clarice means clear/light, Clarice is the girlfriend of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in the TV series, and, the final clue of course, references Clarice Starling and those pesky
lambs. 🤣

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 04/11/2021 09:18

This gaff prone presenter sounds like the answer to all my prayers.

finallychangedmyusername · 04/11/2021 18:41

Desiree?

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 04/11/2021 19:58

I'm afraid not.

2TheMoonNBack · 06/11/2021 12:51

He usually presents shows as part of a duo.

finallychangedmyusername · 06/11/2021 21:46

Eamonn!

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 07/11/2021 10:14

Yes. Well done!

This gaff prone presenter (Eamonn Holmes) sounds like the answer to all my prayers (sounds like Amen).

finallychangedmyusername · 07/11/2021 17:48

Nice one, I'd never really noticed the link before between Eamonn and Amen... made me chuckle.

Here's another:

She's a small state and partially burnt but could be described as a charming lady. She (almost) has a soft side though - in the bathroom!

OP posts:
Ellmau · 07/11/2021 18:44

Charlotte?

finallychangedmyusername · 07/11/2021 19:25

Not Charlotte, but you are close @Ellmau.

OP posts:
Ellmau · 07/11/2021 20:27

Charmaine?

finallychangedmyusername · 07/11/2021 22:51

Correct! Grin

Small state is Maine
Partially burnt is Char
Charming Charmaine
And Charmin toilet roll is "almost" Charmaine. Grin

OP posts:
Ellmau · 08/11/2021 18:39

Good clues!

New name:

Occasionally lucky, but we all love her and not just because of what her sister did.

finallychangedmyusername · 08/11/2021 19:32

Clover?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 08/11/2021 20:42

Yes, far too easy obviously ;)

Lucky 4 leaf clover (occasional because they're rare)
We all love Clover - the ad
And Clover was the sister in the classic children's book What Katy Did

finallychangedmyusername · 08/11/2021 23:51

I got it from the What Katy Did clue! Loved those stories. Here's another:

Surely Anne is serious about this mocktail for a splurger.

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 10/11/2021 12:44

The clue relates to Anne, not Ann.
