With a military _nomen_ like **Major Kong** you should name it like a sword – you know, like Elric’s “Stormbringer”, or Lord of the Ring’s “Orcrist” and “Glamdring” (but not “Sting”).

Everyone knows that in naming a man’s nether regions, you must first give it a title… Such as Mister, Captain, Little…

Then for a name, any adjective ending in -y, as in Willy, Bippy, Wiggly, Happy, Sleepy, Dopey, Sneezy, Wiggy, Jiggy, Floppy, Flopsy, Mopsy, or proper names such as Jimmy, Johnson or Nemo.

So, Mr. Happy or Captain Nemo, the choice is up to you.

Please do name your penis!

I would be honored if you named your penis after me. My name is Ryan.

Now I only hope that your penis does my name justice. Go forth and slay the womenfolk with your mighty Ryan.

If you’re thinking about naming it Robert Richard Spartacus VIII, forget about it. its taken. And if you’re thinking about just using the short form (Sparky) I’ll have to kill you.

No, I’m not kidding. I’m catholic- you know how we are with the names.

By all means name him. If you want women to laugh at your penis, that’s your buisness.

BTW, IIRC if you want an archaicer plural than ‘penises’, ‘penes’ is correct as opposed to ‘penii’

umm… maybe this isn’t such a good idea…

If I were a penis owning person, and my name was Simon, this is exactly what I would name my equipment. What fun!

**DeVena** what exactly are you suggesting?  
I learnt from a Chinese freiend that they often refer to a man’s penis as little brother. Now according to another thread about men with older brothers that must mean that most penises are gay!
