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!

No-one's got it get, although Coco and Anais are good guesses.

...She's the type and ... alt(ernatively).
Plus 02xx.

She's biblical.

She's Greek and green.

Gaia?

Not Gaia, sorry. There's one in a famous family, with an alternate (some would say incorrect spelling).

Chloe!

Correct, @Ellmau! Chloe/Chloë/Chloé it is.

• A Greek translation of Chloe is "blooming".
• The perfume 'Chloe' is described as feminine and floral.
• Chloë and Chloé are typed as Chlo then Alt+0201 or Alt+0235.
• Chloe is a biblical and Greek name.
• Associated with the translation of "blooming" is "green shoot".
• And finally, Khloe Kardashian gives us the erm, alternate (or just wrong in my not-so-humble opinion) spelling. 😂

Over to you!

Mercy or judgment for her MIL? She is often on TV and likes her knots.

Claudia?

No.

As an actress she's had an affair and discovered her partner ha a secret wife.

She's kind of supreme.

Diana?

No.

She's a byword for loyalty.

She often works with her husband, who may be Irish.

Ruth?

Yes! Well done, @finallychangedmyusername

Some of the clues were to the biblical Ruth, some to late US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The actress was Ruth Wilson, star of The Affair and Jane Eyre . Ruth Langford works with husband Eamonn. Ruthless means merciless.

Thanks @Ellmau! It was the clues to the Notorious RBG that cracked it for me. 😁

Will put my thinking cap on for the next one!

Next one:

Don't feel comfortable with this next botanical and Roman lady, just because you may have done so in the past.

Flora?

Not Flora, sorry.

Historically, the name is considered unisex, although now it is predominately considered to be a female name.

Evelyn?

Not Evelyn either.

This lady is one half of a famous silent film duo.

Laurel!

Yes, @Ellmau !

"Don't feel comfortable with (her) just because you may have done so in the past" > "Don't rest on your laurels".

Laurel is both botanical and Roman.

Laurel is considered historically to be unisex, but now predominately female.

And finally, Laurel and Hardy!

He thinks he's an emperor.
