Answer: (one word)

NEXT>

Question 3 of 10

3. Her name means 'she who blesses', or 'she who makes happy', or simply 'bringer of joy'... but a lot of crooks, and one police sergeant, don't think so. They think she's an awful nuisance!

Answer: (First name only (this is a giveaway))

NEXT>

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Celia

Celia is the Wheelers' maid. She's in love with Tom Delanoy, the chauffeur, and they are married in "The Mystery Off Glen Road". Honey says that before the wedding, every scrap of paper in the Manor House was filled with both Celia's and Tom's names, but near the end Celia simply started writing 'Mrs. Thomas Delanoy'. Celia may come from Cecilia, which means 'blind', or Cielo, which means 'heaven'.

2. Jim thought this prankster was pretty 'fortunate', in keeping with his name. His name originally means 'son of my right hand'.

Answer: Benjamin Riker

Jim walked out of the clubhouse when Honey said that Trixie was heartbroken because Ben liked Di Lynch better. When he later heard Trixie confess that she only pretended to like Ben so she could get the diamond ring to use as collateral on Brian's jalopy, he bopped her over the head with his flashlight and stalked off into the Manor House! Benjamin means 'son of my right hand', which could also be interpreted as 'fortunate'.

3. Her name means 'she who blesses', or 'she who makes happy', or simply 'bringer of joy'... but a lot of crooks, and one police sergeant, don't think so. They think she's an awful nuisance!

Answer: Trixie

Trixie hates it when she's called by her real name, Beatrix.

4. This boy's name means 'the warlike'. Well, he's certainly always squabbling with his sister, although when times get tough, he's always there for her.

Answer: Mart Belden

Mart is short for Martin, which means 'the warlike'.

5. This 'princess' is certainly the prettiest girl at Sleepyside High. Her name means 'bright one', and where looks are concerned, she certainly shines!

Answer: Di Lynch

Di is short for Diana, which is the name of the Roman goddess of the moon. And she really is beautiful, although most of the time she doesn't understand those long words Mart loves to use!

6. This boy's name certainly suits him... it means either 'the strong', 'hill', or noble', and it was the name of a famous king of Ireland.

Answer: Brian Belden

Trix once said in "The Mystery Off Glen Road" that Brian was so noble it sickened her. That was when Brian donated fifty dollars to repair the clubhouse after the hurricane, money he had earned in order to buy Mr. Lytell's jalopy. One of the early kings of Ireland was named Brian Boru.

7. His name means 'the supplanter' and 'from the friendly village'. Well, he did get adopted. Who is he?

Answer: Jim Frayne

Jim's full name is James Winthrop Frayne. James was originally a variant of Jacob, which means 'the supplanter'. Winthrop means 'from the friendly village'.

Answer: Honey Wheeler

Honey was named after her mother, Madeleine. Madeleine is a variant of Magdalene, which means 'woman from Magdala', and Magdala means 'tower'.

9. This boy's name means 'judge' and 'God is my judge'. He wants to be a policeman, though.

Answer: Dan Mangan

Dan means 'judge'; Daniel, 'God is my judge'.

10. Her name means 'youthful' or simply 'young'. But when Trix met her, she was being called 'God's gracious gift' because she had lost her memory. And she really was a gift, especially to Jim!

Answer: Juliana Maasden

Juliana is a feminine variant of Julius, which means 'youthful' or 'young'. But when she had amnesia, the people at the hospital called her 'Janie', which is a variant of John, which means 'God's gracious gift'. Juliana is Jim's cousin and only living blood relative.
