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

No, but same number of syllables.

Ellmau · 17/02/2022 18:41

She's floral.

finallychangedmyusername · 17/02/2022 19:57

Azalea!

OP posts:
Ellmau · 17/02/2022 20:55

No.

DuggeeHugs · 18/02/2022 01:10

Camellia?

Ellmau · 18/02/2022 18:05

No.

A loveable little stream.

finallychangedmyusername · 05/03/2022 05:04

Amaryllis?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 05/03/2022 16:48

And here's a new one:

This name links an entrepreneur with a well-behaved swimmer or an ancient king. He's sometimes mistaken for a sweet treat!

OP posts:
DuggeeHugs · 07/03/2022 20:06

Wow, that's an extensive list!

I've scanned the list and can't see this guess: James?

finallychangedmyusername · 08/03/2022 22:37

Not James sorry @DuggeeHugs (James is on the list, 6 lines from the bottom!)

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 08/03/2022 22:39

The ancient king was both real and fictitious (depicted in a play).

OP posts:
Ellmau · 09/03/2022 07:46

Cymbeline?

finallychangedmyusername · 09/03/2022 20:10

Not Cymbeline, but you have the correct playwright.

OP posts:
DuggeeHugs · 09/03/2022 21:30

Duncan? Thinking Scotland, Macbeth and Goodhew.

finallychangedmyusername · 10/03/2022 18:59

You got it @DuggeeHugs! The entrepreneur is Duncan Bannatyne and sweet treat is Dunkin' Donuts (almost Duncan!)

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 19/03/2022 21:38

Hi @DuggeeHugs, hope you're ok, do you have a new name/clues for us please? Smile

OP posts:
DuggeeHugs · 20/03/2022 10:03

Sorry @finallychangedmyusername I missed the notification about the thread!

Here is my attempt:

This is the name of an impeccably organised river dweller.

finallychangedmyusername · 21/03/2022 20:55

Thanks @DuggeeHugs, glad to hear you're ok. Smile I shall have a think about your new clue.... I'm currently thinking "river dweller" is related to Wind in The Willows (although the answer probably isn't Moley!) Grin

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 21/03/2022 21:47

Ooh, Shira?

OP posts:
DuggeeHugs · 22/03/2022 10:10

Alas not Moley (saving that for later, though!) or Shira

finallychangedmyusername · 25/03/2022 18:34

Hmm, I'm at a loss, could I please request a new clue for us please @DuggeeHugs?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 25/03/2022 18:47

Banks?

DuggeeHugs · 25/03/2022 19:42

Not Banks.

Another clue:

Despite their Welsh origins they'd have a home in ancient Egypt.
