Guessing game V!

Merry twixmas!

We have reached thread 5(!) of the baby names Guessing Game.

This was the (brilliant) brain child of @scotstar back in March 2018.

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.

And I'll post regarding the current name below!

Ooh, Niall?

I like your thinking, but not Niall.

Would you like another clue?

We need one!

Agree with @Ellmau, this is a toughy! Another clue would be greatly appreciated @DuggeeHugs.

Oh no, I wasn't trying to be that cryptic, sorry 😞

His uncle was the famous one originally, but with his brothers they found a new generation of fans.

Ooh, Dewey?

You've got it @finallychangedmyusername

Dewey - Welsh name, 'impeccably organised' thinking of the library numbering system which led to the Great Library of Alexandria. Triple with Hewey and Lewey (sp?), nephews of Donald - river dwellers referencing ducks and Donald's boat.

I was watching Duck Tales with the DC, when inspiration hit!

Here's another for you all:

A permissible donation for a transatlantic-accented actor, former US president and artist of a father and daughter.

Between the library and Duck Tales I strongly suspect that's where I thought up the name, too!

Hmm, I'm thinking Michael but can't make the president connection work

Not Michael. The father and daughter are often mistaken for husband and wife.

Lucian? Again I can't find the presidential connection, though

Not Lucian, sorry. "Permissible" and "donation" are two clues.

Constantine?

Not Constantine.

Irish novelist James Joyce provides another naming clue that links to the aforementioned US president.

Ulysses?

Ulysses is the link name that will (hopefully!) get you to the final name.

Grant?

Correct, @Ellmau! Grant it is.

Permissible = granted
A donation = a grant
Transatlantic-accented actor is Cary Grant
Former US president is Ulysses Grant (Ulysses being a James Joyce novel)
Artist of a father and daughter, often mistaken for a husband and wife is American Gothic painted by Grant Wood.

New name:

He carried a god and discovered a new world.

Hades?!

It's not a very exciting name nowadays - a classic but possibly dated.

Christopher?

Yes. Not too hard, I thought, but it's take a while :)

I do like the name Christopher. 😍

I'm just mad about this next fabulous and spicy name.

Saffron?
