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

He's German.

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 13/02/2021 08:48

Otto?
A palindrome
Otto-man
Lots of Otto Nobel winners

finallychangedmyusername · 13/02/2021 10:46

Spot on @LadyGAgain! You got all the clues. Grin

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 15/02/2021 23:19

Thanks @finallychangedmyusername !

Here's the next clue:

The sound of this name has 4 spellings.
3 ways are the same name.
You can flock to hear one of them.
Another is paired with a long thin vegetable and the third has a truly Spanish vibe.

Ellmau · 16/02/2021 16:03

Una?

LadyGAgain · 16/02/2021 16:59

Not Una

finallychangedmyusername · 16/02/2021 19:43

Isabel/Isabelle/Isobel?

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 16/02/2021 20:02

It's a boys name.

finallychangedmyusername · 17/02/2021 23:24

Louis/Louie/Lewis?

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 18/02/2021 07:47

The first can be found in a field.
The second on a film set.
The third in a recording studio.

finallychangedmyusername · 18/02/2021 14:17

Hmmm.....Sean/Seán/Séan/Shawn/Shaun?

Sean Bean is the vegetable or Sean Connery or Sean Penn (film set)
Shawn the Sheep (in the field)
Sean is Juan in Spanish?
Shaun Ryder of Happy Mondays (recording studio)

But I can't solve the "flocking clue"...🤔

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 18/02/2021 18:19

Yes!!
Flocking - like a flock of sheep (I think that's right Blush)

Shawn Mendez the singer but yours works too!

Four ways:
Shaun (the sheep)
Sean (Bean)
Shawn (Mendez)
And a non name but said the same 'Shorn'
Over to you!!

finallychangedmyusername · 19/02/2021 08:35

Nicely done @LadyGAgain!

Here's another:

Dickie's child - the actress, else the child of a famous US politician. She's festive and is famed in Russian literature.

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 22/02/2021 21:57

The aforementioned Russian literature isn't a quick read.

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 22/02/2021 23:42

Natasha

finallychangedmyusername · 23/02/2021 12:31

@LadyGAgain has done it again! Yes, Natasha! Grin

Dickie's child > Richard + son > actress Natasha Richardson.
Child of famous US politician > Sasha Obama (real name Natasha).
Festive > meaning Christmas/birthday of the Lord (from Natalia/Natalya).
Russian literature > Natasha Rostova in Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace.

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 23/02/2021 20:10

Oooh I didn't know Sasha was Natasha!

I shall think and return!

LadyGAgain · 23/02/2021 22:31

Here we go!

You could go west, perhaps to a castle! Or maybe abroad, or to Kalokairi. We are all linked by one name.

finallychangedmyusername · 24/02/2021 18:16

Ooh, Sheridan?

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 24/02/2021 22:41

Not Sheridan!

finallychangedmyusername · 26/02/2021 10:13

Stellan?

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 26/02/2021 21:10

No.

LadyGAgain · 26/02/2021 21:10

Though I do love that name

finallychangedmyusername · 27/02/2021 19:42

Stellan is so handsome. Donna? (I'm convinced that the Kalokairi clue relates to Mamma Mia! in some way!) Grin

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 27/02/2021 22:13

It does but you need to keep guessing!
