Help Me Find a Name for My Aloe Vera

[Gaelbert]

I recently acquired an aloe vera plant and I am at a loss to come up with a name for him. Right now I'm considering Elliot and Tolkien, but I am very much open for suggestions.

[Gullara]

You name your plants?:smallconfused:

Err, how about planty?:smallbiggrin:

[Zanaril]

Alfie maybe?

[Kobold-Bard]

Hows about Phil (short for Chlorophyll of course).

[Gaelbert]

While all of those are certainly very pleasant names, he told me he would prefer more eloquent and uncommon names. Names such as Eugene or Harriot.

[Kneenibble]

I think it's so cute that you want to name your plant! I do that too. :smallsmile:

For an Aloe Vera, may I suggest Ioreth? Tis the name of the learned matron of the healing houses in Gondor in Return of the King. Her nature suits the plant's, and Aloe seems more feminine to me.

Edit Unless the plant has already related to you its masculinity. Then what about Lepidus, a Roman gens name that means good, fine, excellent.

[Gullara]

You talk to your plants?:smallconfused:

Err, how about Augustus?

[blackfox]

How about Audrey?

[Kobold-Bard]

Quinn.
Or maybe Jolyon.

[Zanaril]

You talk to your plants?:smallconfused:
And they talk back?

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Little Alli or maybe Lady Soothing

[Flickerdart]

Assassin Vine, Udoroot, Shambling Mound, Treant...

[Gaelbert]

You talk to your plants?:smallconfused:

Err, how about Augustus?

No. I use telepathy. And so does he. I think I'll use Lepidus, I like it's style. Thanks for the suggestions! :smallsmile:

[Trog]

Jelly. white text

[bluewind95]

I'd suggest Demeter for a she-plant. But for a he-plant... how about Apollo? Apollo was also the god of healing and Aloe Vera is a healing plant.

[Gullara]

No. I use telepathy. And so does he.

Oh, well that makes perfect sense.:smallbiggrin:

[FoE]

Wretched Thing. It was my mother's nickname for me.

[Perenelle]

how about....
Charlemagne
Tinuviel
Andromeda
Luis
Posiedon
Larousse
Ambrosia
Marice
Matthias
Aurora
Noel
Amber
Underwood
Elwood
Pippin

or Perenelle. that would be a good choice. :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

[golentan]

Now I have this mental image of you as Zonker Harris.

:smalleek:That is a very long list

[Jack Squat]

I'd go with Surtr myself.

[Perenelle]

:smalleek:That is a very long list

nahh, I cut some names out. It could have been longer. :smallamused:

[Sneak]

Audrey II.

Also, change your name to Seymour.

[Starscream]

Lessee, plant names...

Pamela Isley, Jason Woodrue, Alec Holland?

I'm not good at this. The only inanimate object I have named is my car, Rowsdower.

[AtomicKitKat]

Aesculapius. Or more silly: Spike.:smalltongue:

[Gaelbert]

Oh, well that makes perfect sense.:smallbiggrin:

Well, I think we're talking through telepathy. If not, then where are the voices in my head coming from?

[Maximum Zersk]

I believe that would be the leftover spaghetti that's been in there for a month.

Make sure your fridge is free of sentient lifeforms, or you may have an uprising on your hands. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0350.html)

[Krade]

I seem to remember someting a couple years ago where someone was trying to come up with a name for a pineapple plant... was that you?

[Gaelbert]

I have vague memories of pineapple... but I don't think I've ever owned a pineapple. Probably not me, but no guarantees.

[blackfox]

Now I have this mental image of you as Zonker Harris.*+20 awesome points*


Audrey II.

Also, change your name to Seymour.DARNIT SNEAK I ALREADY MADE THAT JOKE :smalltongue:

[Pocketa]

Vera! 10chars

[Kobold-Bard]

Vera! 10chars

I can't believe this took a second page to get suggested. What is up with us? :smalltongue:

[Sneak]

Six men came to kill me one time. And the best of 'em carried this. It's a Morris Nursery stemless succulent. Serrated leaves, pendulous flowers with tubular corolla.

It is my very favorite aloe vera.

(Or: my very favorite aloe, Vera.)

Re: Blackfox...sorry, my bad. :smalltongue:

[BizzaroStormy]

How about you name it Leif?

[blackfox]

Re: Blackfox...sorry, my bad. :smalltongue:Haha, I should have known you would want to make a Little Shop of Horrors reference for the sake of reference... I've got it there because my sense of humor told me to. :smalltongue:

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

Since you've got a human-plant communiqué going, how about Charles?

[Moff Chumley]

Well, the only plants that have ever talked to me were fungi, so I don't know if that counts... :smallconfused::smallwink:

Don't do drugs, kids.

[Felixaar]

Hector!

(or possibly Osmond.)

[Zovc]

No offense, but I would gut your plant if I had a burn and he was nearby.

[Achilles]

I used to own a cactus named Godfrey. I would talk to the cactus probably once a day. Normally it was just sort of "What's up, Godfrey". I, of course, had longer conversations with it too.

I loved that cactus.

What happened to this cactus? Was it soft enough to pet?

Anyone ever get their cactus to flower?
Only my christmas cactus flowers, and that's not really a cactus.

Oh succulents.

[Lycan 01]

No, no, no. Hasn't anyone ever played Fallout?

Name 'im Herbert! :smallbiggrin:

My friend collects succulents, has named them all, and has beat up strangers for stepping on them, and then threatened to sue them for trespassing and damaging property. :smallcool:

[Zanaril]

I have a cactus that's flowered. The flower was larger than the cactus itself. 0_o

[Closak]

How about "Plant 42" :smallbiggrin:

[Lycan 01]

How about "Plant 42" :smallbiggrin:

This, or Herbet. Or Bob. One of these 3. :smallbiggrin:

Are they outside then? Ugh, you live in a non-snow land, don't you.
That's cool though. Succulents have rights too.

May I please have it?

Did you have to do anything special to get it to flower, like shout at it naked or lock it in a cold storage for a few weeks, or did it just bloom for fun?

An intriguing way of working around things.
Is the aim to convince it you're a sociopath, with severely odd, deviant tendencies, and scare it into obeying you, or just to scare your neighbours into buying you one that does flower in such a fashion? :smallconfused:
