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

So close! This man is almost an island. So almost Cyprus!

OP posts:
LadyGAgain · 28/04/2021 20:08

Cy (sigh)

finallychangedmyusername · 28/04/2021 20:10

Almost! It's a sunny name. 🌞

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 29/04/2021 20:43

It's a rare name. There were less than 50 born in 2019.

Cyrus
finallychangedmyusername · 30/04/2021 07:08

@LivLavender has it, Cyrus!

Cy = sigh. Cyrus is an ancient Persian name meaning 'sun'. ONS stats say that there were only 47 born in 2019.

Over to you! And welcome! Grin

Hi @LivLavender, are you OK to do a new name/clues please? Grin. I do enjoy this game!

OP posts:
finallychangedmyusername · 15/05/2021 17:22

If anyone is still playing, I can offer up this one:

She hails from France, although a famous TV namesake is Scottish. She's a bit of a tart and doesn't have a sunny nickname.

OP posts:
Ellmau · 15/05/2021 17:37

Lorraine!

finallychangedmyusername · 15/05/2021 19:20

Yes @Ellmau, Lorraine!

From the France region of Lorraine.
Scottish TV Namesake is Lorraine Kelly.
Bit of a tart - quiche Lorraine
Doesn't have a sunny nickname- Rain(e)/Rain(e)y

So glad this thread/game is still running! Grin

Over to you!

Ellmau · 15/05/2021 20:51

Will have to think a bit for a new name ;)

Ellmau · 15/05/2021 21:29

This rural uncle is the root of the family tree. Many years ago he was a groundbreaking athlete. A bit of a rebel, too.

finallychangedmyusername · 15/05/2021 21:47

Fester?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 15/05/2021 22:16

No.

finallychangedmyusername · 16/05/2021 08:51

Vernon?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 16/05/2021 10:18

No.

Ellmau · 16/05/2021 10:26

Some people misspell tis name but the misspelling is correct as the diminutive of a girl's name.

finallychangedmyusername · 16/05/2021 18:26

Hmmmm... Beau/Bo?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 16/05/2021 19:13

No, but he is related to one of him ;)

finallychangedmyusername · 17/05/2021 14:47

Jeffrey?

OP posts:
Ellmau · 17/05/2021 20:48

No.

DotCottan · 17/05/2021 21:46

Jo?

Ellmau · 17/05/2021 22:05

Another of him was a civil rights leader.
