Are we allowed to give any of the answers just now, or is there a time. (Like Jolans 5@5)

Just bringing this back to the front page.
Still can't get any mre than 7 and a possible 8.

Without giving anything away, mine are
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, and possible 14????

Would like to hear from others.

Glad I'm not the only one struggling with these. Not too sure of any past 5, apart from 9, 10 & 13 maybe.
Peterm(?) did post that he was pretty sure of one name, but I don't have enough letters to make sense of anything.
Are we looking for first name and surname?

In other words, HELP!!!!

Same here. Only have 7 or 8 and not even sure about them. For one or two I have alternatives so too many variables to make anagram(s).

I'm still pretty sure about one name, but have since given up. Too tough for me.

Sorry Thea - i gave up quite early on this one.
Some of your clues seem to have more than one answer, so trying to anagram ("at least 2"???) Names could be pointless.
i'm sure someone will crack it tho.
