Name the Geek Contest

Name the Geek!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 :) ]

  1. My name is Marite not M?r?te. :D It’s because I have a macrons in my name. I’m from Latvia. :) good luck everyone

  2. Zelda would be a great name for that geeky girl. This could be a reference to the videogame character, or the aunt from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

  3. What about Thred or Rua?
    Thred is from the word “thread” but with the A (rhymes with Fred).
    Rua is Gaelic for “red hair.”

  4. Oops… that was supposed to read:
    Thred is from the word “thread” but without the A (rhymes with Fred).

    :)

  5. Yes the face is decidedly feminine, but maybe it could be male? Why not a gender non-specific name like:

    Pat, Robin, Lee or Drew (which I like cuz it is the past tense of draw)

    Or a cool name from fiction:

    Trillian, Firefly

    Or a really cool name from mythology:

    Minerva or Arachne (dueling crafters)
