This quiz is part of series What's a Name In? Puzzles:

These quizzes ask not "What's in a name?" as the saying goes, but rather, "What's a name in?" You will be shown a word that has several letters removed from it, with blank spaces in those missing letters spaces. The letters that have not been removed spell out a common first name. So for example, here's a big word: F R A N K _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 letters after the K have been replaced with blanks, leaving FRANK, a first name. But what was the full word? Was it: 1. A gift from the Magi, or 2. A condiment or relish, or 3. a colorful frock, or 4. a two-masted type of schooner? #1 is the answer because the Magi gave FRANKINCENSE as a gift when visiting the Nativity.
