Groucho
Galen (means bright in Greek)
Giuseppe (hebrew - he will enlarge)
Godwin (English - attached to God)
Gyan (Indian - intelligent)

I think I like Godwin the best. :smile:

That one carved a huge hole into me--



If I could somehow stomach the name Grover I might give it more consideration. Besides, then I won't have to get new monogrammed socks for the leg, since I could use the ones which Gus wore. Poor Gus, lost and adrift out there--

Och, so droll.

Hmm, dowel, Malcolm, as in Malcolm McDowel(l)?

I might want to thwack you with a towel for that one. Malcolm does not even start to connect with me.

What name could be more apropos than Gore. Al Gore.
Oh yes, Gore the bore to replace the leg which was from my body tore-- but if I wore it would it beome grist for lore? I see my humor is leaving your sides sore--that's it for my rhymes there'll be no more, now get yourself up off of the floor as I exit swiftly through the door before you thrash me to the core (my humor was better in days of yore).

Well, Gore is an English name and means Applied.
Why, I am appalled! Well, speechless at least. Clearly Gore is not going to do it; although your suggestion of Gyan had a moment of hope.


Okay the short list is being compiled and it now has Meridius, Gizmo, Atlas, Betty Gayble, and from some other persons apart from this board--yes I do go to anothere site at times--George, Gompers, Otto, Chester and on a personal note Galt. There's a story about Galt (think Hair)--better to save that for later.

Still time to put in suggestions and any thoughts on the aforementioned names.


In the words of Hugh Downs--I'll be back.

If you're referring to his Concentration days I believe it was, "Don't go away, we'll be right back."

As for the suggestion "Chester," I suppose that was Gunsmoke's Chester Good (erm....Wood?)

How about Puttin' on the Ritz?

Yes, yes. I know--the world has been (un)anxiously awaiting news of the naming.

After much thought and careful consideration I decided to opt for Galt.

Today Galt and I went for a hobble and selected some new footwear. Galt seems to favor flat bottomed non-skid shoes with solid laces. (he is a wee bit perturbed however at having to wear one of Gus's old socks.)

Yeah, I could get attached to Galt here--although so far Galt seems more attached to me.


My choice for Galt is of course due to a brief encounter (non-sexual) with Galt Mac Dermot, who composed music for such things as Hair (and lots of other works as well). Quite talented.

At some later point I will give details as to the naming ceremony and of course the middle names, the Christian name and the Hebrew name . For right now, I have to put Galt aside for the night--

Let's hear it for Galt!

Hip, hip ....oops... never mind. *slinks back into dark corner*
Okay-- once more I am at a loss for words (I am imagining you slinking away, better than the usual where people run from me. Describe this slinking--)

Galt means "From the highest ground". It is English in origin.

Darn, "Meridius" went out the window...:confused:
Ah yes--from the highest ground--the better to survey my kingdom.

Meridius has possibility after all I will need a Roamin' name for when I am out and about (just in case anyone thought Pecker told bad jokes, they need to be reminded of mine).

Galt became upset the other evening with the academy awars--he saw dreamboat George Lucas and was mighty miffed that I hadn't named him George, I explained as well as I could, but you know how ornery a prosthesis can be. (had to edit since I screwed up my spelling--Galt would kill me for that)

Then yesterday on the way back from the doctor--we checked in to make sure everything was okay with Galt fitting on correctly (it is)--I started wondering if I should get Galt a tattoo--I think he's a little young for that though.

Would it be a tattoo or scrimshaw?

I can't help thinking that there was a golden opportunity missed here. It's not every day one has a chance to name anything Betty Gayble.

Hmmm--scrimshaw I suppose--guess you could say I might have a whale of a good time (depending on the guy doing the work on Galt).

Pluto. He could use something named after him, lately.

Argh!

Jupiter might have had a chance at one time.


Anyway, Galt is getting adjusted and seems to be happy with his new surroundings although he does miss the folks who put him together.

Okay guys and the lovely ladies as well--

the time is fast approaching. The measuring is done. The fittings are done. All I need to do now is figure out a name for my new prosthetic leg. The crew has informed me that on Tuesday it will be mine.


Yes, I name them.


This will be the latest in the ongoing series of legs which have been mine (I lost one in a drunken spree about a year ago somewhere between Jamestown and New York City, if you see it, I want it back and am willing to negotiate payment as it holds sentimental value. It answers to the name of Gus--after astronaut Gus Grissom. A crate of Twinkies will be delivered to you as a reward--unless I eat them all first)


So. help an old queer out here and give me some ideas (and if you say Peg o' my heart, I'll whack you with the leg.)

hannibal lector (which would be ironic and hella cool ^_^)

He'll get over it, O. "Love the one you're with" and all that.
Yes, Galt does seem to be somewhat content although he questioned me the other night as to why I hadn't rescued him sooner--



Next week I am scheduled to meet with my physiotherapist to discuss any difficulties I may be encountering--none so far, which means I will be able to proceed with both his Hebrew naming ceremony and his baptism (need to cover as many bases as possible)
