I was encouraged to personalize the mobility scooter I was given for work. I have mounted this plush octopusto the handlebars & front column of the scooter, & I’m going to replace the orange plastic flag with some semblance of the Greyjoy banner I’m painting this weekend. But I’m stumped on a name for him. Since I’m a tech designer, I toyed with Techalopod (Tek for short), but that’s not tickling me. Anybody got any suggestions? Funny, snarky & clever submissions are all welcome, & a good pun is a thing of beauty. Help me, o Dopers!
Augustus or Octavius would be my choice.
I’d go for the comic-book reference and name him Otto.
Techthulhu?
Given the Greyjoy banner, perhaps “Aeron”?
Paul.
Well, can’t do that one - our dog is named Otto.
[self-hijack]when we adopted him, his named was Pluto. As his parents, that would make us Goofy. Apt, but unacceptable. So we wanted a name that would sound the same to him. Hence, Otto. [/self-hijack]
But I gotta know - what comic?
Annie-Xmas - Octavius is the main contender!
Balance - I considered that, but all the Greyjoy names are kinda bleaugh. Although I do like Damphair.
I’m hoping the Greyjoys show up next season.
Alarms.
Get it? All arms.
:rolleyes:
I would go with either Septem or Novem and start a therapy fund for him.
Kraken.
Maxwell
Where Octo = 8, Septem = 7 and Novem = 9. If he’s only got 7 legs, or has 9, he’s going to need therapy.
I vote for “Fuzzy”.
Ocho Sinko
Tentacles McOctopusface?
Tako
Doc. And give him shades and a trenchcoat.
Kranky.
Army
Spider-Man. Otto Octavius = Doctor Octopus. (Hence Ethilrist’s suggestion as well, I presume.)
