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

Something to do with Anne of Green Gables? I'm stumped for the actual name though.

finallychangedmyusername · 10/11/2021 21:42

You're correct about the Anne of Green Gables link. Surely. Grin

finallychangedmyusername · 14/11/2021 21:34

The mocktail was named after an actress.

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 15/11/2021 23:03

The "splurger" clue references a song.

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 15/11/2021 23:18

I thought Ellmau had cracked it.

Shirley?

finallychangedmyusername · 16/11/2021 19:56

@2TheMoonNBack, you got it!

Line from Airplane!: "Surely you can't be serious!"/"Don't call me Shirley"
Anne (with an e!) is, of course, Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables
Mocktail - Shirley Temple - non-alcoholic drink named after the actress
Splurger - "Big Spender" - sung by Shirley Bassey

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 16/11/2021 21:09

Ok. Here's another one...

You'll find this glammed up fraudster playing his guitar down in the valley.

finallychangedmyusername · 18/11/2021 18:49

Gruff?

OP posts:
2TheMoonNBack · 18/11/2021 22:00

No, sorry.

The glammed up fraudster also likes to sing to the cattle as he's driving them through this Scottish valley.

Ellmau · 19/11/2021 01:08

Glen/Glenn?

2TheMoonNBack · 19/11/2021 09:31

Yes Ellmau! Well done.

I was thinking of Glen Campbell.

Glammed up fraudster, driving cattle - rhinestone cowboy song reference

Scottish valley - Glen

Ellmau · 19/11/2021 23:40

Will come back with new clue tomorrow.

Ellmau · 20/11/2021 10:45

A housewife behind a blue door, she really hates green.

finallychangedmyusername · 24/11/2021 11:29

Marcia?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 24/11/2021 18:37

No.

It looks like a diminutive but it isn't really, because it comes from another language.

finallychangedmyusername · 30/11/2021 07:59

Teri?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 30/11/2021 23:00

No. One of the clues is a character, one is an actress, one is positively legendary.

finallychangedmyusername · 30/11/2021 23:08

Zelda?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 30/11/2021 23:16

No.

imnotacelebritygetmeoutofhere · 30/11/2021 23:25

Bree

Ellmau · 01/12/2021 01:24

No.

imnotacelebritygetmeoutofhere · 01/12/2021 01:31

Carrie?

finallychangedmyusername · 02/12/2021 22:07

Mira?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 02/12/2021 22:19

No.

I thought this one would be easier ;)

An actress who plays one of her went to prison.

imnotacelebritygetmeoutofhere · 03/12/2021 20:50

Evelyn?
