[elliemay1]

Ronald? Only a guess! Road+l (left) +n(for northpole)

[scorpiojo]

Very iffy - Ronald
Highway - road
L(eft) - sinister
N - north to the Arctic

[glasman]

Nice one, Elliemay. i got stuck on name starting Mi.

[elliemay1]

Great minds..., scorpiojo!

[puzzlemaniac]

what about Roland, rather than Ronald? That way the left comes before the north?

[scorpiojo]

They do elliemay1 lol!
Think Roland is better pm

[grasscarp]

Milan is a boys name. gives you M1 L and ends with N for north pole

[Valanne]

I think Roland is more likely than Ronald

[grasscarp]

and it reverses the L and A as per the clue (turn)

[scorpiojo]

Only 5 letters tho. Would Milton work?

[elliemay1]

Milan has only 5 letters. Probably is Roland. Similar to what Eric Morecambe said, 'All the right letters but not necessarily in the right order!'

[grasscarp]

Milton

[grasscarp]

M1 L to N

[weecalf]

Ok wrong but. Oliver as sinister is evil back live with or

[poodie]

Many thanks for all your efforts. I'm now pondering between Roland & Ronald. Will probably pick Roland.

[scorpiojo]

Think Roland better

[elliemay1]

Would agree with Roland.
