Garrulous Glaahk RainbowDashRadical Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Okay, so based off the suggestions in this thread: http://spiderwebforu...ed-a-good-name/ It came down to a tie between Fluffy and Tank. So, let's have a contest between the two names. Whichever gets the most votes will be the name for my turtle. What will it be...Fluffy, or Tank. ~RainbowDashRadical AnthonyKes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Those names are like naming a dog "Spot" or "Fido". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Fluffy adheres to Spiderweb tradition, but I'm slightly disappointed. These are not the names you want to be choosing B'Tuin. —Alorael, who sees your wordplay and raises by one awful pun. A less presumptuous name., Mod., Tyranicus and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk RainbowDashRadical Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 What does B'tuin represent? Or who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Those names are like naming a dog "Spot" or "Fido". Fluffy adheres to Spiderweb tradition, but I'm slightly disappointed. I considered suggesting "Mr. Peanut", but decided "Fluffy" was both a solid nod to Spidweb tradition and a bit of a joke that a non-Spiderwebber would appreciate. (Since I assume the turtle in question is not, in fact, fluffy. If it appears fluffy, please adjust your implants.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk RainbowDashRadical Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Dude, that is awesome Fortunately Discworld happens to be at my local library, so that'll give me something to do over Christmas break. Thanks! Still not sure if I would name my pet that though. I don't know how to pronounce it. Oh, and why did Alorael rename him to B'tuin? ~RainbowDashRadical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 B'tuin was a joke Lilith made in the other thread, as a form of "A'tuin the lesser." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk RainbowDashRadical Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Not sure that I got the joke. Still, the idea of a turtle as big as a star and holds up an entire world blows my mind . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Well, A'tuin is better than B'tuin, because, well, A is before B in the alphabet. A-list celebrities, for example, are considered better than B-list celebrities, and so B'tuin would be a less good A;tuin. Alorael's joke was a pun; very simply, he was saying that 'Fluffy' and 'Tank' are not names you want to be choosing between - and that the right choice, B'tuin, sounds like 'between'. And now I hate myself for having to explain that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Not sure that I got the joke. Still, the idea of a turtle as big as a star and holds up an entire world blows my mind . The idea of a turtle holding up the world is somewhat common in mythology. Alorael's joke was a pun; very simply, he was saying that 'Fluffy' and 'Tank' are not names you want to be choosing between - and that the right choice, B'tuin, sounds like 'between'. And now I hate myself for having to explain that. In fairness, it's a really, really awful pun. (Or maybe Dikiyoba pronounces A'Tuin and therefore B'Tuin differently than the rest of you: Ah-two-in.)

Garrulous Glaahk Vexivero Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 You should name it Alorael. Then when people in real life ask why that name, just say it's an "inside" joke. (get it cus its a turt...nvm) —Vexivero, who still thinks Alorael would be a fitting name for the turtle. Dqwon would also be an acceptable alternative.

Ineffable Wingbolt MMXPERT-seraph of thermodynamics Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Fluffy is a great and simple name. Tank isn't. But both of these are worse than most of the other suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Would be cool if you could tell people that you have a tank at home, but Fluffy is just better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
