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

Boris? Grin

Ellmau · 07/07/2022 21:34

Ha, yes. I had lots of follow up clues to come too :)

Obviously BJ, plus Russian emperor Boris Godunov.

Over to you!

ThatshallotBaby · 07/07/2022 23:09

You might go to her for advice amid the balconies and washing lines

finallychangedmyusername · 08/07/2022 13:35

Juliet?

OP posts:
ThatshallotBaby · 08/07/2022 15:30

No, but you’re in the right area
she”s international

Ellmau · 14/07/2022 00:11

We need another clue, please!

ThatshallotBaby · 14/07/2022 09:17

Ok
She is very popular, and has two variations, both beautiful.
she’s a classic!

AlopeciaStrong · 15/07/2022 14:26

Ann/Anne?

finallychangedmyusername · 20/07/2022 22:10

Isobel / Isabelle?

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 25/07/2022 21:50

@ThatshallotBaby hope you're ok? Was I close with Isobel / Isabelle?

OP posts:
ThatshallotBaby · 26/07/2022 07:57

Yes thank you, for some reason I couldn’t find this thread, so glad you tagged me!
You are close.

What kind of person would you go to if you needed advice? Somebody compassionate and ?

finallychangedmyusername · 27/07/2022 13:43

Sophia/Sofia or Sophie/Sofie? (Meaning wisdom)?

OP posts:
ThatshallotBaby · 27/07/2022 18:00

Yes!!!
well done

finallychangedmyusername · 27/07/2022 22:07

This 60s mermaid is also a Shakesperean character and Joey's (real) gal.

OP posts:
ThatshallotBaby · 27/07/2022 22:24

Ursula?

finallychangedmyusername · 27/07/2022 22:42

Not Ursula, sorry, although I can see why you've thought that!

OP posts:
Ellmau · 28/07/2022 20:52

Miranda?

finallychangedmyusername · 28/07/2022 22:28

Not Miranda, but you're close.

OP posts:
MsBucket · 29/07/2022 11:06

Ariel?

finallychangedmyusername · 29/07/2022 15:20

Not Ariel. The mermaid was a puppet.

OP posts:
ThatshallotBaby · 30/07/2022 07:29

More clues please! @finallychangedmyusername

finallychangedmyusername · 30/07/2022 08:09

She'll probably not harbour any resentment towards you, should you confuse her with a leading character in West Side Story; nor is she a tomato-based sauce.

OP posts:
Ellmau · 02/08/2022 00:47

Sydney?

finallychangedmyusername · 02/08/2022 21:50

Nope sorry. The aforementioned Joey is Joey Tribbiani and Miranda was a very close guess!

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 08/08/2022 18:19

She was born at sea.
