    Default Naming

    I notice that a ton of people have been flipping out about the new Nintendo Wee (Note: No, I refuse to call it "Wii" except in for the example below) and how it's such a terrible name. I think it's a funny name, because my immature mind thinks of stuff like "Oh, I wanna play with my Wii!" and stuff like that.

    But anyways, this got me thinking. People act like they could think up up a much superior name. How good ARE you at naming things?

    I'm going to post an image of some product that I found by putting "O" in image search (I wanted to find something randomly), and I want to see you give it the best name ever (in your mind), as if you this was your product and you were going to be putting your money into it. It's not so much a contest as me just being curious to see people naming things and for fun. Also, describe it. What are it's functions, how is it TTLY UNIQUE, etc. Because that makes it more fun. There aren't any limits. Don't be boring.

    Be imaginative and funny, or I'm going to find an image that's really hard to work with. >:o The images will get better if the thread continues. For example, don't just say it's a drink giver, that sucks. Think outside the box~



    Start~

    ---

    Also, if you have any images you think that would be good for this, just PM them to me and maybe later if the thread is active for a while, I'll post yours as another round of sorts. I'm looking for images that have the potential to be really funny, and can have lots of different possible names and descriptions to it.

    And yes, I realise this product already has a name and a website, but pretend that this is something new. Use your imagination, folks.

    I am absolutely horrible at naming. When naming characters at tGA, it takes me forever.

    That being said, even I could come up with someone less lame than "Wii."

    And I would name that robot Beer Wench.

    "Batchmaster 2010"

    I suck too, but this is still a very intriguing idea, Rye!

    I refuse to name the robot, and instead I shall name the fellow on the right. I hereby dub him Hank.

    I will name it: "Shti'ya".
    Shti'ya means in Hebrew, drink.
    So I thought to give him this name because the robot serves you can giver you a drink, so giving it this name it also will sound like a name for some person (making this robot more human) when you call the robot over for a drink you call Shti'ya and it sounds like calling a person and so...

    It will serve food, drinks (also can open the bottles), and, giving your slippers.
    And since it's so comfortable you can also check in the robot's system the TV schedule, and, switch channels.
    A home schedule robot.

    I would name that robot

    DRUNK-A-TRON

    I suck at naming things but Wii just retard as all hell. It might not sound lame in Japan but they obviously did not do any market testing with this name.

    I'm calling it Alcobot. It may look freindly but it's not. Although it appears to be handing Hank a drink. Hank is actually a well known trouble maker, so Alcobot is going to smash the bottle into his troublesome face. Alcobot is going to work in nightclubs and double as both a waiter and a bouncer. He is programmed with many unoriginal nightclub bouncer phrases like: "Do you want to leave quietly or out the back?" "Calm down or I'll calm you down!" "I'm jus doin me job" "Ya'll right darlin" "Who you callin a wideboy?!"

    Awesome thread idea =D

    I'd call it the ßoozeßot. Note the German characters, sure to emphasise the slightly exotic air and ruthless European efficiency.

    In Spain, it should be marketed as the Serveza. Can't think of a decent English name, though.

    EDIT: Screw it, I'm calling it Serveza.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
