Hmm, no. 10's going to be a long one if it's credited to all three acts. As my knowledge of social media stars is non-existent, I'm not going to get it, so I'll just throw out here that the act known for "Push The Feeling On" was Nightcrawlers, might help someone else get the full thing.

I feel this would speed up the process somewhat.

It's an interesting idea and fair enough for A and E, but to be honest I'd be going for S and T, and possibly R and N way before I'd guess I or O and definitely before U.

I was going to write that initially, but then remembered that some people would enjoy thinking up band names that are purely I O U specifically for this stage of the game, by going for all 5 it eliminates the gaming aspect & there's only so many times you can have Rhythm in the band name.

OK, so we know that 7 is an anagram of Doormat Cum, so let's see where the Ms fit in.

Ah that's good. I don't think I'd have thought of that.


For no. 1, I've never seen Game of Thrones but there's a Stark family in it, I think. I don't know what the character might be called that this is one letter away from, but just with the letters there already, Anna Stark? :shrug:

I know there’s an Arya Stark in GoT so maybe something like Aria Stark?

Of the six possibilities remaining for no. 7, the most likely-sounding would be Mdou Moctar. But to be honest none of them sound very likely.

mdou moctar is correct. it may very well be a meaningful name is some tuareg language. i suppose mdou is short for mahamadou.

i won't put any further letters in for the last one.
