Default What should Elaine's nickname be?

Since sherry is our queen, Corrine is our Princess, kevind is mod man...

what should we be calling Elaine - our newest moderator?

Sorry charlie I didn't have time to look at any of your posts to find out what you were called!

lizzardo thinks Lady Elaine and I would second that!! Anyone else?

actually, if any of you remember, at one point charlie was named 'potty man' because of his first avatar, lol, but we never picked a name for him. so that can also be a contest.

hmmmm, what to name elaine... the duchess?

I believe I was dubbed "commode" because I needed a good southern nickname and "Jug" and "Jar" were both already taken (but that's a long story).

I think Elaine should be "Easy" (for the alliterative effect) but, what do I know?

What can I say, Charlie. When you're as old and as decrepit as I am, nobody wants "it" so you just give it away!!

No, we won't leave locallisa out of this.

My picks so far:

charlie - Likes southern names so we'll call him bubba!

Elaine - Your idea is good sherry, I like The Duchess!

localisa - I am still working on that one.

Come on folks, we need some help here!!

donnie...since Elaine isn't really into the royalty stuff...how about DAME. Although it does have a royal connotation...I think it would make Elaine a little more comfortable!!!

That's funny. here it is a dying custom to name the older brother bubu, that is how i call my uncle. and for the older sister it's chichi. a dying custom because families do not consists of more than 2 children, like before.

OK - Lady Elaine is starting to grow on me.

Lisa - how does Chicklet sound to you?

ruba - I guess we will have to go with whatever makes Elaine feel comfortable.

Default Re: What should Elaine's nickname be?

love the name for elaine, the duchess, lady elaine. m'lady, can become a very nice dignified greeting to a very nice dignified woman.

bubba is good for charlie although if you meet him you will know he is about as far from 'bubba' as possible. (that's a total compliment, charlie)

and my little 'chicklet' lisa would be perfect since lisa is a long lasting sweet friend who actually chews on her thoughts before answering.

come up with some more names though people and we can have a vote.

Actually "Bubu" is sounding better and better all the time. (I am an older brother, after all.)

I like Bubu...and chicklet. And lady Elaine would be my second vote, if Dame is out of the running.

Ok, bare with me now. Since she is the new kid and the other moderators all do a sparkling job, someone needs to get the blame. So....Blame Elaine. Catchy too, huh? What happened??? Don't know. Blame Elaine.
Kind of a newbe tag until the next one comes along. Just a thought...
