Event - new house

[jack]

Is weird^[1] coming home and the house being unchanged. Need to sort out radiators, etc. Need to buy microwave and toaster. Need to finish packing. Below is the new shortlist of names; any that you like?? I want approval of at least one you didn't suggest yourself from everyone :)

Pansy Cottage, or Ambiguity

Ambiguity or Inneundo

I think we've got a spare toaster if you like.

I would go with Innuendo, and Badajoz.

Ick. My LJ is contaminated with blink tags. Ptoie, spit, scrub. :)

[despotliz.livejournal.com]

Aha, an advantage to being locked into IE at work :)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

IE still doesn't support blink? I thought the progenitor of 'marquee' would be all over that one. I mean, at least blink, while annoying, doesn't enable people to download malicious code onto your computer :)

This isn't persuading me :)

Tibby got Mimi when she was seven. At the time she thought Mimi was the most beautiful name in the world. She had saved it up for almost a year, waiting. It was very easy to spend your best name on a stuffed animal or on an imaginary friend. But Tibby held out. Those were the days when Tibby trusted what she liked. Later, if she loved the name Mimi, she would have thought that was a good reason to name her Frederick.

Fine. If you don't want my best name, I'll keep it. I'll save it for something special.

Oh dear, I feel mean now. I wasn't saying that I didn't like Todd, I was saying that about flashign and scrolling text. That I don't like Todd is not the point.. wait, whoops.

But yes, for better or worse, I don't think 'Todd' suits my house, but would be a spectacular name for something with more personality and less girth :)

[mair_in_grenderich]

Aw, no, I wasn't serious. I just like quoting bits of books. Or songs. Or anyone who put things in a way they stuck in my head.

Todd is so the best name ever though ;-)

Re: Feel the Pain.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

(Neither was I)

Now I just want to call *everyone* Todd. Who's with me?>

Re: Feel the Pain.

[mair_in_grenderich]

If I have children they'll certainly all be called Todd.

I like Ambiguity, though Lonely Mountain in Cambridge has a certain irony...

[senji.livejournal.com]

What sie says!

[rochvelleth.livejournal.com]

Tir NaN Ogg! I thoroughly approve. Though you'd spend your life explaining...

[satanicsocks.livejournal.com]

Gomorrah!

[naath.livejournal.com]

I kinda like Amber and Innuendo.

[chess]

Floating Point.

[tienelle.livejournal.com]

Greyfloodmouth and Fallover, in descending order of preference.

[aldabra]

Floating Point and Ambiguity.
