I’m currently working on a short claymation project - which I hope will be the first of a series. (There’s a possibility of this making me a small amount of money - so I have sought and obtained permission from Dex to discuss/show it here).
It features this character (it’s deliberately done in a rough, blobby style). It needs a name. I’m thinking I’d like something monosyllabic and perhaps a but guttural, but those aren’t absolute stipulations.
Anyone fancy suggesting some names?
“Torso” 
not monosyllabic, but gutteral
“Squat”
“Yargh”
Looks like a ‘Glump’ to me.
I can guarantee you that if you don’t name that creature “Blup,” you and your film will burn in the seventh circle of stop-motion hades.*
*Okay, probably not. I just felt like being flamboyant for once. Bah.
I think his name should be “Pi,” since he looks like the symbol for pi.
“Stomp”
Good luck with this. Some of my friends from long ago have dabbled in stop motion, and I know how challenging, and satisfying, it can be. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Two ideas.
Nurg
or
Glurn
Grek. He definitely looks like a Grek.
Here’s an idea. Consider Merkwurdigliebe’s username, and go for something like:
Sattarattleblatt
Bardeyboik
Guffledroit
Wurglesplot
Pokey
These are all great suggestions, thanks, and they’re just the kind of thing I was reaching for, but not grasping. In fact, I’m tempted to invent some new characters just to use more than one of the names here.
I finished editing the main part of the video last night and I need to do the soundtrack now - I’ll post a link here when I put it online…
What kind of armature are you using for that thing? I’ve been investigating the ball&screw type for some Steampunk projects I’ve got coming up.
Surely it is an avatar of Og!
It doesn’t have any armature at all - this places serious limits on what can be done with it, I know, but it’s necessary to do it that way because of what happens at the end (I’m not going to give too much away at this stage).
The lack of armature is also part of the reason the character is shaped that way - big flat feet for stability, etc.
I do hope I’m not over-hyping this. It’s going to be a very amateur production of 30 seconds or so.
How about Morph? 
Or Gromit? Yeah!
Name him Poops!
Thy name is Grub.
What? I’m hungry!
