Help Mark name his Q1
Mark is the lucky guy we told you about who won a Samsung Q1 Origami from the Origami Project web site and now he needs your help. He is searching for a name for his Q1 and would like some suggestions. Here are the rules from his blog:
- I want a male or neutral name. My wife is jealous enough of the time this device gets. The last thing I need is to give it a female name and hear a bunch of "other woman" cracks.
- My kids have suggested "Bob" a hundred times. I will not name it Bob. They can’t come up with a reason and it doesn’t look like a Bob. I don’t want this thing to ever bob or float or anything like that.
- There should be some infinite shred of reason behind the name. It doesn’t have to be much.
Let’s hear those suggestions but no "Sammy" posts since Kevin has that one locked up. I propose "Pointdexter" just because it strikes me appropriate. :)

Vera after the gun used in the TV show Firefly.
I kind of like Ozzie or the Oz Man after Ray Ozzie who helped to launch it.
“Stinky” – as in computers without keyboards stink. ;) If that’s a little too negatory, you could try “Linus” since Mark may bring it everywhere like his security blanket.
How about “Q” as in the mischievous omni-powerful John Delancy character from Star Trek Next Gen?
Alexander. It is a good name.
Why not name it “Alpa” meaning “the first or the beginning”. You could call it AL for short.
Spider Jerusalem. I have a reason but it’s extraodrinarily complex and nonsenical, so instead go find a pretty birdy and look at it.
Raphael. It’s one of the artists of the Renaissance period. It’s also a name of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. It’s also my name. Name it after me and I’ll name my UX180P as Mark as soon as I receive it.
Damn, but alslayer came up with a good one! Ah, Firefly, best damned American SF show ever.
How about, That Little Rat B*st*rd? It’s probably what your wife thinks it SHOULD be called!
