UN: purrusu | day 4 POLL

[beguiledcard]

[ At the very top of the message, it does, in fact, say "POLL."

Also this is sent out like a mass text, so everyone can see everyone's messages. ]

I'm sure a lot of you have met our blue friend with the golden tassels by now. He says most people just refer to him as "Carpet."

Nothing against simplicity, but I feel like anyone with a personality and/or an obvious ability to feel emotions deserves a proper name.

{poll} What should we name the one formerly referred to as "Carpet?"

(1) Cordelia
(2) Alfred
(3) Poly Esther

... I'm actually going to let all of you toss out suggestions, and then we can just go with the one that seems most popular.


[ OOC: because of how this is set up, all threads are at risk of being threadjacked here...!!!! GO WILD, FOLKS. LET'S PICK THE BEST NAME!!!!

Why not just call him what he wants?

[beguiledcard]

He specifically told me to call him whatever I want, then said that Carpet is what most people default to.

So, I figured why not make a team effort to pick something and let him decide which one's his favorite.

If his name is Carpet, isn't that what we should be calling him?

[beguiledcard]

[ Since this already happened, he's not going to be as detailed. ]

Carpet is more of a lazy nickname than a name.

[This totally completely random message catches Ignis' attention for several reasons. One, because it just came out of nowhere, two, because it's a poll, and three, because apparently there's a blue, golden-tasseled individual who goes by the name "Carpet."]

Those are all very lovely names. However, perhaps he would prefer something more rugged?

un: w.graham

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

[ Really he agrees with the people suggesting that a sentient carpet might want to choose his own name. So he wasn't going to respond.

But this can't be allowed to pass unremarked. ]

Really?

[DID SOMEBODY SAY DAD JOKES]

Careful. Add too many names to the list, and the whole thing could unravel.

[ Yeah. Fluffy. You read it right. ]

I wanted to say something clever, but I think I'm blinded by how cute this is.

[ghostfluster]

i was trying to think of a good name

with some dignity and weft to it

but the pile of puns has kind of warped that train of thought, really

[beguiledcard]

[ HE AGREES SOME DIGNITY WILL BE GOOD, IN THE END... ]

You're right. A proper name is what I'd prefer to go with, in the end.

What kind of personality would you say they have?

un: pipedreams

[laytheghost]

holy SHTI
if magical carpet is ok w/it poly esther 1000%
how are there even other option

un: holla

[shotfired]

Right? It's naming perfection.

[ a... carpet. alright... ]

Should we not consider its feelings on the matter first?

un: rugman

[gimmesometassel]

[The icon by the username is, in fact, that of an upright rug. Everyone who's worried probably needs reassurance that doing this is okay, right? And if everyone can see everyone else's posts, then just commenting once should do the trick, hopefully!]

I don't mind.

Why not make a list and let him (??) pick?

[iisupergirlii]

[is there seriously a... flying carpet? How did she miss that. That sounds like something straight out of a movie! Is it an alien? What kind of alien race would disguise themselves as a rug? She's got to meet this... person......?]

If this is something they want, then the only good choice is Polly Esther.

[what? Kara's a fan of puns.]

[beguiledcard]

I'm swept away by how much some of you like that one.

un: nympheas | text

[hoaxer]

ONLY THE THIRD ONE IS CREATIVE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A "REAL" NAME... IT'S MORE A JOKE...

[She's not very impressed by the choices and selections!!]

Is it customary for humans to name inanimate objects?

here you big baby

[a2brutus]

Apparently. One of the humans I live with has a "dinosaur" named "Rory".

UN: Holla

[shotfired]

Gonna have to go with Poly Esther here

UN: dameron

[gotyourselfapilot]

Carpet should pick a name for themselves.

[ Since names switch all the time in his universe for many many reasons. ]

un: dungeonmaster

[353]

Wait, what's happening? You're naming carpet?

[ He hasn't met whoever everyone is talking about yet. ]

un: rugman

[gimmesometassel]

That's right!

[Says said carpet. Dungeonmasters are great at naming things, right? All those NPCs and Special Important Proper Noun Items must be good practice.]

[raggetiedoctor]

How about Floora

[look this is the guy who named his tin dog k9 and his blue box sexy, what do you expect...]
