le fin de la name game

so what are you going to name your car?

i don't know. it's not fiesty enough to be a hedwig, it's not adventurous enough to be a harrison, sebastian has too many syllables and doesn't sound good with "baby" as a last name, tony doesn't fit because it just makes me think of tony danza, and calvin might just be overused.

you've gotten lots of conflicting input on the name calvin.

it reminds me of calvin and the chipmunks. calvin simon theodore. doot doot, do-do-dah-doot.

it was ALVIN simon and theodore.

oh.

name it simon if theodore is too long.

i had a pen pal named simon for a few years. neil simon. he'd send me pictures of his cat and strangely crafted zines filled with cutout language.

anyhow, i even searched online for interesting names. and i found a sad but worthwhile site, holocaust names. but it didn't help me name my automobile.

why is it so hard for you to name your car?

i don't know it yet. but i have to name it in order to assign it personification and thus to love it.

this habit of giving personification to your objects is strange. it seems like it stems directly from your childhood. remember the made-up language and the countless times you would marry your dog to the neighbor-dog down the street, isaiah?

isaiah was so patient.

name the car isaiah.

ok. isaiah baby.





i guess this means le name game has reached an end. i'm kindof sad about that. i liked how up-in-arms everyone felt about the various name suggestions.
