the elf name game

[pipistrellafelix]

Okay, all you smart people. I am now a part of the Seattle Sugarplum Elves & this entails, first of all, picking a name, which is also essentially your Elf Alter Ego. & thusly very important! Anybody want to help?

The Name Game:
First of all, I can't be named anything that an elf is already named, which cuts out the following: Blinky, Dizie, Two Shoes, Tootsie, Roxie, Stripes, Schprintzel, Sprinkles, Pumpkin, Sugar, Inky, Topsy, Lolly, Luz, Honey, Spanky and Knick-Knack (a.k.a. the Paddywhack sisters), Salty, Tinsel, Button, Winky, Tickles, Zipper, Puddles, Mistletoe, Giggles, Short Stop, Figgy, Snowflake, Dreamy, Sneaky, Ginger, Lixie the Pixie. (There are a lot of elves among all the branches!)

Secondly, Talia offers this:
-Words that aren't typically "names" are generally good (you'll notice a particularly sugary-cookiey theme to lots of the names)
-Something you can build a character around is great (Lolly hands out lollypops, Stripes is a sporty elf, Inky wrote impromptu poetry)

Thoughts!
* Someone suggested Pocket Elf, which I find hilarious & is actually on the list for consideration.
Other ideas:
*Puppet (I could make & hand out little finger puppets!)
*Cider
*Cinnamon
*Clove
*Holly
*Trixie (which is cute but also with the connotation of tricks, as in mischief, or Trixie Belden the Girl Detective from the 40s which I am pretty into)
*Franken-elf (as in Dr. Frankenstein, Mad Inventor Elf) --> maybe Doctor? Doc Elf? :) *Brassy, Goggles--a Steampunk Elf--any better name ideas? (& no, I'm not going to be Steamy Elf.)

Righto....I have a feeling if I keep going this will just get sillier. Time to mull these over & get to work. If anyone has any ideas, silly or not, throw 'em out there...cookies to anyone who comes up with a name I use.

Okay, cookies to anyone anyway...I love making cookies. <3

For some reason Shoelace strikes me as a lot of fun....!

I love Snickerdoodle.

Cider and Cinnamon both stuck out to me at first, probably because I love those things so much, but I'm not sure they have *quite* the right ring to them.

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they don't quite give me characters as much as some of the others do....

I've always wanted a little Corgi named Noodle, but I think this would also be an excellent elf name. ;)

NOODLE. Oh my that is hilarious!
(I can totally see that as a corgi name, too...please do that someday! :))
