below you can see the design (not final) of an upcoming 2" geocoin which is basically made of circles only. it comes close to the dahlia flower, however i'd prefer another name than "dahlia geocoin". usually i am not lost for words and names, but this time it's different.

 

so i ask you if you have an idea that comes more or less close to the design. it can also be something completely fancy, like "floccinaucinihilipilification".

 

the one who posts the idea of a name that i will eventually pick will get one of these coins (once they are ready, don't expect this coin to be out before november!). if no name appeals to me, i will raffle away one amongst all who contributed.

 

conditions: 1) post you ideas in this thread. 2) name must not be in use yet (for all existing geocoins, see http://www.geocaching.com/track/geocoinslistall.aspx) and not be suggested in this thread yet.

 

thank you.

I Love the middle one as well! It kind of reminds me of the 3-D pieces in Chex Mix. Maybe a play on that could be a good name idea?

 

Circle Chex

How about -

 

"Look Into My Eye" - the design is rather hypnotic, after all

 

or

 

"Light Speed to Endor" - so says my little Star Wars fan

 

or

 

"Color Storm" - cuz it sorta looks like one!

first to make me lol.

Woo Hoo! That scores me a freebie, right Ernie?? ;)

no promise yet. but i decide to toss in 2 coins instead of only. haven't decided yet.

 

however: everything "spiro...." is not part of it, as the design is not a spiral. a spiral always links one segment to the next, it is kind of an eternal (or at least very long) line. see also definition of spiral: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral

 

thanks to everyone participating so far.

Effantaston!

 

It is a greek word writen in latin letters... the real one is "ΕΥΦΑΝΤΑΣΤΟΝ" and it means... with lots of fantasy!

 

you choose if you want the greek or the latin one! ;)

Posted

Anthogrammon

 

Strange word... yes! Anthos is flower in greek! grammon comes from Grammi (line) So the meaning is.... line flower!

 

Line flower??? hmm.. an other name too! ;)

Posted

Anthoforion

 

It is the thing that carries flowers! Anthoforia is the season when plants and trees are growing their flowers......

 

Since the design actually makes a flower...

 

Hmm... too many greek names right? ;)

Posted (edited)

1) Caching Creation

 

2) Dimiourgima (creasion in Greek)! ;)

 

3) Rainbow worrior (the name of the ship of Greenpeace that they sanked...)

 

4) Rainbow flower (for the middle design mostly)

 

 

A strange name came in my mind... but I do not think it actually fits with your coin....

 

"Coins of the Crypt!" A cache is actually a crypt so... :D

hmm.... maybe this is a great name for a spooky coin! :D

hi all.

 

thanks a lot for all your great suggestions.

let's stop here.

 

i am sure there's (much more than) something i like amongst all your ideas.

i will make up my mind this month ...

How about for the first one, Desert Flower or Desert Rose or Desert Bloom. The second one, Night Watch because it looks like an eye looking out at you from twilight colors. And the third one, HypnoGaze. I hope I haven't repeated anyone else's suggestions since I wasn't able to look at all of the submissions. --Dulce-Joy
