Title for the forum!

I've been trying to think of one but everything I think of sounds so cheesy (no pun intended lol). I'll keep thinking. I am awful when it comes to catchy, unique names.

What momx3 said! No creativity, me. Book Loons? :lol:

personally I'd prefer George over Fred
Seriously, lol here's my not-so-great (but I like it anyway) suggestion:
BRR (that stands for Book Relay Revisited)!

I know someone somewhere... (and I know it was one of us) posted something about what the word for book kleptomanics (sp) was. And of course I forgot.
That would be a good one...
or bookaholics
or BA (bookaholics Annon)
other than Fred that's all I've got....
Oh, and DD... I still can't tell Fred and George apart :lol:
nwpassage - January 19, 2007 07:57 PM (GMT)
I'm all for Fred... :lol:
Or how about "BookNuts"? True, and with slightly dirty connatations... :blush:

Let me know if you need some emoticons. I've got a s***load of the things at home.

Hey sand... do you like need some to upload to the site? like if I email them to you, you could add them and we could use them kind of thing?
If so, I would be super happy to help. :)
TITurtle1 - January 19, 2007 08:35 PM (GMT)
May I suggest something with turtle. :P LOL :lol:
No really, I'll be thinking about this...
The Bookshelvers... Oh man... I'm bad at this...

Sure... send 'em on. I am not going to upload every emoticon I'm sent though because we don't have a LOT of room on this free server, so... I'll pick and choose. ;)

Book Loons is also the name of a review site.
chambejd - January 19, 2007 08:57 PM (GMT)
Couldn't we still be Bookrelay? CR still owns the domain... Maybe one of us (or us collectively) could purchase the domain name from him?
EllyMae58 - January 19, 2007 09:25 PM (GMT)
I'm not good at thinking up names, that's why I haven't suggested any. However, I would like to see a name that maybe veers away from the whole "book" thing (i.e. just not having the work "book" in it). Sure, we're all still about books, but we've become much more than that. Our forums have really evolved since the original inception.
ETA: Although I do kinda like Bookrelay In Exile. :)

Hey, I like that one...it has a nice ring to it! :lol:
The only one that is coming to my mind (which would explain why I've not formally volunteered a suggestion) is Bookrelay Refugees. :P
Or Fred. Fred is a nice name. :lol:
fantasy221 - January 19, 2007 10:26 PM (GMT)
hahahaha i kinda like Fred.

"My Happy Place"
That's where I always tell DH I'm going when he ticks me off....and usually end up here. :P
cheesygiraffe - January 19, 2007 11:36 PM (GMT)
I don't want anything with bookrelay in it. That was CRs creation so let him have it. ;) I still think we need book somewhere in there though. We might talk about things besides books but it's still are main focus here. :D
azuki - January 19, 2007 11:59 PM (GMT)
Infinite TBR? (if the BCer hasn't registered it herself...)
But that's such an appropriate name!
Well, along that line, gnissorckoob?
SandDanz - January 20, 2007 12:03 AM (GMT)
love the avatar azuki and I loved the username InfiniteTBR when I saw it! :lol:
TITurtle1 - January 20, 2007 12:50 AM (GMT)
Can't we just have a symbol?
:whip:.com
:P
ETA: But I do like Infinite TBR
I can be a TBReader.
Zmrzlina - January 20, 2007 02:59 AM (GMT)
How about BookBound. Or, for this group, just Bound, maybe LeatherBound which does suggest books. WhipsRus would work, too, but might scare away newbies.
Edited to add that Infinite TBR is a pretty cool suggestion.

:whip: .com gets my vote :P
Or how about Book Fiends? Book Madness? Overbooked & Glad of It? Book 'Em, Dano? :whistle:
BTW, did anyone notice the initials of Temporary Book Relay?
SciFisstrs - January 20, 2007 06:12 AM (GMT)
I'm no good at names. As you can tell Matt does all my creative names I use :lol:
I like the names with book in it. I like BookBound

The forum forumly known as Bookrelay? *giggle* we have to go through that stage before we can just have a symbol I think, don't we?
cheesygiraffe - January 20, 2007 06:20 AM (GMT)
Ack!! No bookrelay in title! ack!! :blink:

cosmic-gin - January 20, 2007 09:24 AM (GMT)
Gosh a lot has changed in a day :P All these new sections are great, and nice to see Sand and some others around a bit more.
Anyhow - I also like BookBound but can't think of anything creative myself just yet. Will come back when I've finished checking out the forum ... and if I come up with anything of course :rolleyes:
Kyrissaean - January 20, 2007 11:08 AM (GMT)
So if we were BookBound.com, would we then call ourselves "binders?" :lol: I can't decide if that's perfect or if it evokes too many jokes about too much cheese.
We can't be WhipsRUs -- think of the spammers we'd attract! :lol: (I know from personal experience what happens when you pick a seemingly innocent handle for an email addy, only to find out that it's a major buzz-word for...erm...a subculture with particular tastes. :whistle: :lol: Talk about a cherry being popped and an out-of-control inbox! But anyhooOOooo....)
I agree that we're going to have to let go of the term "relay." It was CR's, plus we're not going to have a whole giant list of them on the front page anymore. I'm guessing we're going forum-first from here on out.
Inkspelled?
Totally Intomed? Nah, too morbid.
Something about stories or literature would be good....
Overbooked?
I'll keep thinking.
meshe - January 20, 2007 02:32 PM (GMT)
I really liked "Overbooked"
AceofHearts - January 20, 2007 02:36 PM (GMT)
Overbooked and Book Bound are great ideas. Kris,we wouldn't be 'binders' we would be 'bounders' and isn't that a derogatory term in the UK :lol:
Zmrzlina - January 20, 2007 02:46 PM (GMT)
AceofHearts, I love your avatar. Is the bunny yours?
Overbooked is great. Does the forum name have to be attached to a domain of the same name?
giz-angel - January 20, 2007 04:35 PM (GMT)
