Good evening, everyone. Pardon any interruptions I've made to your day but if you don't mind I have a favor to ask.

What would you say is a good name for someone small who likes green?

Comments

[frozenblossoms]

Leaf.

[motifs]

Green, you say? One of these may satisfy your needs:

Celadon
Malachite
Emerald
Fern
Hunter
Sage
Moss
Olive

Perhaps Sweet Pea, if only to emphasize both "small" and "green" at once.

[ticket218]

I'm not sure how they'd like being called just...Leaf.

[ticket218]

Oh, those do have a nice ring to them. Sage and Olive strike me the most, though Sweet Pea is quite charming, isn't it?

[frozenblossoms]

Why not?

[xxfeathersxx]

Killer.

[ticket218]

"Leaf" isn't really a person's name, is it?

[motifs]

I do agree! Both sage and olive are greens that evoke a yellow or gray undertone, but sage greens tend to be lighter compared to the bolder and darker olives. It would depend on the green preferred by your small someone. Both are striking and strong varieties, in my opinion! Sweet Pea is... pea green, of course.

But it is rather precious, as a name.

[ticket218]

I

don't see the correlation.

[xxfeathersxx]

What? Is it not a cool name?

[ticket218]

You really know your colors.

I suppose I haven't asked their very favorite green. Just a moment.

[ A few minutes pass, and eventually Yusuke will receive a photo of a still wet lily pad plopped onto what seems like a desk. ]

This was their answer.

[ticket218]

It seems less like a name to me and more like a condemnation?

[xxfeathersxx]

If you would rather name it "Green Bean" or something then be my guest.

[ticket218]

I would rather not. Which is why I asked.

[frozenblossoms]

Oh.
Ask for their favorite plant and name them after it?

I'll ask Jouno for ideas.

[motifs]

I'm an artist.

[That sure is a lily pad... what kind of tiny friend is this, sir.]

I suppose "Lily" is out of the question? This green appears to be a more vibrant olive, or perhaps, if I were to answer one plant with another, a juniper.

[xxfeathersxx]

And now you aren't even taking perfectly good suggestions! Whatever. Good luck naming your little creature.

[ she huffs. killer was a badass name... ]

[ticket218]

I've already tried that route, they can't decide on a favorite plant. Asking them to show me what they liked ended in a bathtub full of flowers.

[ Wait get the other Hunting Dog in on this? Nonono-- ]

You really don't have to bother anyone else with this, I can continue to think on my own.

[ticket218]

Ah, I see. A very interesting skill.

It's not entirely out of the question, but I'm not certain any kind of lily is their favorite per se. When I asked about flowers they brought me...quite a lot.

[ticket218]

They aren't a creature, they're a friend. So I won't be naming them willy-nilly like some kind of pet.

[motifs]

It seems you've had a difficult time narrowing the scope at all...

Perhaps you ought to ask them to rule out certain categories as possible name pools?

[frozenblossoms]

If they can't decide... and there was a bathtub full of flowers....
Petals is a cute name. Or Lily or Roses. I'll keep thinking and get back to you.

I won't ask Jouno though, since you said not to.

[ticket218]

That might be a good idea. Common name categories are like...

Flowers, animals, colors, weather...?

[ticket218]

Thank you.

They do seem to like multiple kinds of lilies. They often wear Lily of the Valley flowers as clothes.

[motifs]

[homie he only knows how to name paintings, not Living Creatures...]

Yes, I think so... That sounds like plenty of categories to start with.
