You did this once before.
never mind
No. It’s not heat. Try again 
This surname has five consecutive consonants. Off the top of my head I can think of three unrelated famous people who have it—it’s not exotic. Hint: it could be broken into two ordinary English words.

Cardinal first-baseman Paul Goldschmidt has six.
Biotop, you did the nine-letter number one once before on the board.
Well played. One of my all time favorites:
C-T-V-R-T-L…?
Yes, I had forgotten.

Where am I? — #2
The first letter is the same as the third letter.
The second letter is the same as the last letter.
The third letter is the same as the fifth letter.
I am thinking of a number. Spelled out it is nine letters long, one word, and 5 of the letters are vowels (a,e,i,o, or u). What is the number?
eightyone … y is sometimes considered a vowel
-“BB”-
No Y, no dash. One word.
It IS in English, correct?
-“BB”-
Yes.
+++++
Where am I #3
The first letter is the same as the fifth letter.
The second letter is the same as the seventh letter.
The third letter is the same as the second to last letter.
The fourth letter is “P”.
If Y is not a vowel, then “eightythree” has seven non-vowels in a row,
“Three-eighths” has four vowels in a row, then five consonants. “The eighth three” ’ “Three eighths three times” has CCCVVVVCCCCCCCCVV . . .
eighteenths…too many letters and not a proper number in an of itself? one eighteenth, two eighteenths…?
At only nine letters long, I wonder if the number isn’t a cardinal number to begin with. Consider:
googleplex
infinity
plethora
quorum
majority
Nine letters isn’t much to work with.

Those are all pronounced “erd” to you? Where are you from?
Some of those can be pronounced other ways but every one of them is frequently pronounced with the sound ‘erd’, as in each word in the list.
I’m from where 'injured" rhymes with “gingered”. That big terra incognita west of the Hudson.
We give up. What comes up through the floor? Chimey?
