Greetings Geeks! By now you’ve noticed our awesome new look and today we present our official Geek Crafts logo! (If you’re reading this in a blog reader, click through, just this once.)
Also today we launch our contest: Name the Geek! This geek needs a name and we’re leaving it up to you, our lovely readers, to decide.
Here’s how it will work:
- Starting today and up until midnight ET on Sunday, May 29th, leave a comment with your name suggestion. (If more than one person suggests the same name, the first person to suggest it will be entered, so be sure to read through the comments first and come up with something different.)
- On Monday, May 30th, we’ll post a list of all the names for you to vote on. You can vote until Sunday, June 5th.
- On Monday, June 6th, we’ll announce the winning name. And to thank the reader who suggested the winning name, we have an epic prize package!
[Edit: Midnight Eastern time – I’ve got to go to bed at some point, kids :) ]

Velma
Geekerella
Gaucherie (means awkward or socially unacceptable remark)
Growlera
(from growlery which means ‘a retreat for times of ill humour’ exactly!)
Gertrude le Geek
Thalia, after the Greek muse for comedy.
Thalmia (Greek muse of comedy)
Gadget
Nova
Hanna The handygirl.
I think her name should be Elliott. Not that spelling maybe, but I think it’s a nice name. It’s unisex which is cool in itself but it’s also a name with some attitude.
Helga
This name means “Holy, Sacred, and Successful.” Three things that I see Geekery as being.
I think her name should be Aude! That was Anya from Buffy’s real name.
Tabitha or it’s greek translation Dorcas.
I was gonna say Velma, lol.
Leia
Alix
Grace
Greta. Alliteration rules.
Her name is clearly Leeta… Which of course could be spelled l33t? or £33†@… The variations could go on forever.
Daphne
Maude, obviously.
Alice
Gertrude C. Moore.
…the C stands for “Crafts”. Gertrude Crafts Moore? XD I dunno!
I kinda like Dorcas but then it almost seems like it furthers picking on geeks by calling them dorks. Not sure though.
Ion
Just like my cat :)
I say Violet!
=)
Crafty von Geek
Lisa– the lovely and brilliant computer-simulation-turned-to-life from Weird Science!
She looks like me. And I always wanted to be named Penelope.
Penelope Craftsalot
Barbara or Babs!
Guinevere Crochetsalot ^-^
Zelda!
Gallifra the Crafty Geek Gal(like The Doctor’s home planet, Gallifrey)
Geena
Galadriel :)
Ida (It means happiness)
Ms. Gilda Geek Craft.
Jane, after the artificial sentient from The Ender’s Game series! She ‘lives in/is’ the network that connects all the human collonies together instantly.
Ginger
Clementine O’Doyle!
Knita Upurla (because I love puns and star trek)
Adria G. Craftswell
Adria’s the name of a geeky friend’s newborn girl and the logo, with it’s bright orange hair, reminds me of said mother.
Esther the Awesome.
Not sure why, she just looks like an Esther to me. :)
Chell (girl from Portal – she is pretty crafty :D )
Gigagirl
I think she looks like a Jovie! Imagine her singing “Baby it’s cold outside”
Yo-saff-bridge or Saffron. They are both perfect for her. Geeky and beautiful.
:)
Barbara Binary
(Barbara means foreign, strange, exotic, mysterious which describes sci-fi movies and Binary for binary code.)
Georgette- simple and classy but yet all awesome: just like a geeky crafty chick should be :)
I’m thinking Glinda, to be good witch of crafting (and also, alliteration is wicked awesome) Galinda, if one is of the Wicked faith.
I’m also a fan of Guinevere, or Gwen, inspiring the best from all us geekcrafters like the mythical (?) Queen of Camelot. And the alliteration thing again, of course.
Lastly, Lizziebet – a bastardation of the Lillibet that the Queen was as a child and Lizzie – what my own middle name got shortend to (Lindsay Lizzie? What were my parents thinking??). Just cause.
Jordan.
Real Genius, anyone? :)
Stephanie.
No disassemble!
Geekette
Kraf, Tee
Cree A. Tiv
