One of my long time readers, Penelope, suggested last year before Scooter Sunday ended it’s first season, that we should have a naming contest for my scooter.
I got to thinking about this and wondered what kind of names people would come up with and would I want to have some dorky name attached to my scooter.
But then I decided that this would be a great idea, and that I would trust my readers to suggest some really cool and clever names that would make me proud to label my scooter.
Details and Rules
- The contest starts today, Sunday April 19, 2009 and ends on Saturday May 9, 2009
- You may submit up to three (3) names
- Submissions are done via the comments section to this page
- All of the suggested names will be placed up for vote on Sunday May 10, 2009. Readers will have one (1) week to vote for their top three (3) favorites. Voting ends on Saturday, May 16, 2009
- Only one entry per person will be counted. You can stuff the ballot box all you want, but I’m only going to count your entry once. It is my judgement call on if I think you are trying to hack your way into submitting multiple entries
- A panel of three (3) judges will pick their favorite name from the final three (3) names, voted on by the readers
- Yes, I did add a lot of requirements and lengthy delays to this contest
- If your name is picked as one of the final three (3), you will not be eligible to be a judge. Sorry, trying to keep it fair. But wait. If you are picked to be a judge, all is not lost. Go and check out the prizes details below
Prizes
Much to my wife’s suggestion of not offering any prizes for this contest, I had to go against her wishes and offer at least something to giveaway here.
NOTE: Final t-shirt style and design subject to change
Those who submitted the final three (3) names suggested will win a Scooter Sunday t-shirt [which should be available in late May or early June]. Also, the judges will get a nice gift, too [most likely a Scooter Sunday t-shirt, unless there is something else they would like, at which point they will be given another option for their gift]. Yeah!
If more than one of your names you picked ends up as one of the final three (3), then you have a choice to either accept both prizes [which means you get 2 t-shirts] or you can choose to give away your second prize. I doubt all three (3) final names will come from one person. but if they do, then I would hope you would kind enough to give away the other 2 prizes so we have multiple winners. I know, that seems a but unfair, but hey, I want to see more than just one person walking around with a Scooter Sunday t-shirt.
Sammy if it’s a girl and Stanley if it’s a boy… or Kirby if the sex is undetermined.
I think the scooter should be named “Lady Penelope”
No contest… that’s just the only possiblity
BTW: put the badge in my sidebar
1- BumPlug.
2- BanalBead.
dutchbitch – I saw you put the banner on your page. Coolness!
I think you need to carry on the tradition and go with either :
The Spewbaccamobile
or
The Mojitomobile
Jonny, Janice, Jetpack, Jimmeh. Jimmeh for the win though I feel.
1. Smarty (s-marty for scooter marty)
2. Francis
3. Bolt
Scooter.
Cooter. (Like the Dukes of Hazzard guy – wasn’t that his name?)
Sybil
(You can say you’re gonna take a ride on Sybil. Haha! I can say that ’cause it’s not my real name.
I really want a tee shirt!
“Claire.”
A buddy of mine had a Volkswagen (not a bug, van, or Thing, but their other car) named Claire (it came painted on the car) and I’d like to see the name live on.
Christine – though that makes her evil
Rebel – you throw such caution to the wind with those stop signs!
Chilly’s Filly – you ride her with pride, hehe.
Ok – it’s still early here. Don’t fault me for weirdness.
Delmer… That would be the Karmen Ghia
Well, I am going to give it another shot…
BOMBAY or BOMBAY SAPPHIRE(referring to one of your fav drinks, Bombay Gin)
SUNDAY (Hey, it is Scooter Sunday, afterall)
ETHEL
Oh I have one more: SLUMDOG
Just sounds the part for some reason…
Okay…finally my entries!
(Yes I have more than 1!)
“ScUtah” would look v v cool in “ScUtah Sundays” (I kill me!)
“Cracklin’ Rosie” after my boy Neil’s song…speaking of which…”Sweet Caroline” could work too! (I can do this all day…)
There’s something about the name “Gary” that strikes me as honest and trustworthy.
How about “Dudley.” He was a Mountie … and you *mount* the Scooter.
Crap, while reading your post to pimp it I read we can only do 3 suggestions…
Ok so here is my official three from the kazillion I already put in:
1. Bombay Sapphire
2. Slumdog
3. Ethel
There… Now I am off to write a pimping post for Friday
Bruno
Broom-broom
Papa Smurf
