How about Og? Or Fred. I think more things out there need to be named Fred.
yawns The Muppet Show starring Mark Hamil as Luke Skywalker. He was the guest star before Skywalker, See-Threepio, and Artoo-Detoo crashed landed backstage.
What, are you kidding? You can still see it on the Cartoon Network!
I vote for Oliver. You can call him Ollie.
I’d like to second “Wormwood.”
Or…did the Golem of Prague have a name?
He’s a boy-goyle, Horseflesh, at least, as far as I can tell he is! His nether regions are not particularly clear, but his chest appears to be unendowed!
I thought about a Discworld reference DemonSpawn, but as he isn’t sitting on a roof, I don’t know how appropriate that would be. A golem name might be good though.
I already knew about the comic strip Bosda - that may have been why I took him (he was a gift from a neighbour who is moving) - but thanks anyway!
I like The Scrivener’s suggestion of Absinthe, and Fred which a couple of people have suggested, and I just knew someone would suggest Pablo! Maybe I’ll name him that and he can be The Straight Dope Gargoyle!
Good suggestions so far people - I knew you wouldn’t let me down - but keep 'em coming!
Marmalade. I like Marmalade.
No. Toon Disney Channel only. Which I don’t get.
Well, I have one I keep on my desk - it’s supposed to keep the evil spirits away (but they keep coming back over here - “make me travel arrangements, find me a conference room” - it never ends!) - it’s name is Doug.
Fluffy.
How 'bout naming him after what stone gargoyles do best? Perch!
I also like Butch, Stony, and Cecil (that oughta earn points with the Master).
My real name is Doug!!
I’m glad the OP-er liked “Absinthe”. Hmmm, if you’re planning on assembling a future “family” of the gargoyles, you could give them all names based on questionable spirits:
Sambuca
Absinthe
Retsina
Tequila
Schnapps
Sloe Gin
Sake [add the accent mark over the “e”]
Campari
Rolling Rock
…???
Oh, the horror!
Then there’s poisons, poisonous plants, herbs, narcotics, etc.:
Wormwood [? – I only know that from Lewis]
Belladonna
Nightshade
Hemlock
Opium
Psillocybin [sp.?. “Psilly” for short?]
and so on…
More came to mind:
Scooter
Payne
Lump
Sid
Dirk Diggler
Cronk
Grog (or Groggy)
Dumas
Slouch
Crud
Percy
Fang
Nigel
Woody
Dink
Shrek
Or name him after yourself: Iggy
I bought a miniature gargoyle at a flea market for a dollar once. He sat on my bookshelf for a couple of years before I found out that he went out and made an album with R.E.M. (scroll down to the last album). Imagine my surprise. I named him Michael after the lead singer.
Stone
Rock
Joe Gargioyla
The Stinker
I have one that sits near and guards the faucet. His name is Elmer.
Elmer is quite the fashionable guy. He has a santa hat, a witches hat pilgrim cap and various other articles of clothing designed for his distant cousin the yard goose. He had been known to wear a grapvine wreath on occasion and once when my sister had her wedding reception, a bridal veil.
Right now he is happily naked peering out thru the ornamental blue grass.
Good thing I was available… it took you almost 3 hours
3 hours, 8 minutes - it was a long day
Gregory, Goldie or…if you dare…Irving! (ssshhhh!)
I’m surprised nobody suggested these before, actually.
Stone Phillips
[sub]For some reason I think that’s funny.
Okay, I’ll go sit over here now.[/sub]
