Ok, so as to avoid the risk of bringing the thread to a crunching close, I can tell you that Celina is eminently Gewglable. I got the right answer in the first page of results.

We've got the Nairobi link. Broaden it out slightly, and you've got the key link. Just need the third name & I'll put you out of your misery. Next questioner is the person who gets No.3

The Google-fu is weak with this one.

I thought it would be solved within an hour.

See if anyone else will have a go, but then I'll give the answer.
