DH and His Supreme Naming Skills
Sunday, December 30, 2007
Here is what we created at Build-A-Bear for Scout, using the gift certificate she received from my grandma:
It's a dinosaur girl who is just a little bit punk rock. I'm sure that DH thought he would hate the whole experience. I mean, what guy wants to spend the afternoon at a dress-your-own teddy bear shop? But when it came time to decide on a name to put on the "birth certificate", I could see DH's eyes light up. At first, we picked "Rhymenoceros" (a Flight of the Conchords reference), but then it dawned on us that wouldn't make much sense, since the plush character is a triceratops, not a rhinoceros. But DH was still pleased with his second choice....
"Hornie"

If you made Rhymnocerous you would have to make her brother the Hip-Hopapottamus. I think I may have misspelled that.
Build-a-Bear does indeed have a hippo. We actually thought about getting it and naming it that (great minds think alike!), but it's a purple and blue polka dotted hippo, and doesn't really look unmistakably like a hippo to me, so we passed. But I kind of wish we would've gotten it just to use the name!
