AlphaOp Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Since I started Geocaching, I used a greek letter theme: Alpha (first Cache) Beta Gamma Delta Lambda So, does anyone else use a certain theme for the names of their caches, or do you just name willy-nilly? Quote Link to comment
+wcgreen Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I use Latin. Sometimes, the name describes the location ("Pons" is hidden on a bridge); other times, it describes the cache. "Fustis" is the Latin word for stick, which is what the cache looks like. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green Quote Link to comment
+Breaktrack Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 So far all my physical caches involve the use of 4 wheel drive at some point. Now there are some who will try, and succeed, while using a two wheel drive vehicle, but I always advise on the cache page that you are taking your chances...LOL. Sargent 4X4 - near Sargent, Texas Matagorda 4X4 - near Matagorda, Texas BB-35 4X4 - between Sabine Pass and High Island, Texas Port O'Connor 4X4 - near Port O'Connor, Texas Bryan Beach 4X4 Multi-cache - near Freeport, Texas Each one has taken a great deal of exploration for the best spot, and the Sargent 4X4 is now a hydro cache as you can no longer get there in a vehicle, you need a boat. It's on an island thanks to storms in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this year. I am always looking for more spots on the Gulf Coast. "Trade up, trade even, or don't trade!!!" My philosophy of life.

+The Leprechauns Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Since it would be cruel to force everyone to know how to spell "Leprechauns" in order to discuss or log our caches, we use "Elves" in the titles, in order to "Brand" our caches for instant recognition. So far, we've placed: Elves in the Forest Elves in the Heights Elves on the Riverfront Elves in the Fast Lane Elves Been Workin' on the Trail Road Web-enabled Elves Unchained Elves: The Keychain Cache (plus two adopted caches and a CITO event) Upcoming caches in various stages of getting ready to be placed: Elves at Hogwarts Elves on the Stairmaster Elves Launch a Rocket to the Moon Elves at the Pub x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x I was formerly employed by the Department of Redundancy Department, but I don't work there anymore.

Radman Forever Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 My caches' names either have to do with the place it's located or just a name I thought would be perfect for it. The names are: The Eureka Hunting Club Cache Woodland State Park Cache Back in the Old Shack Wanda Randolph Memorial Cache Welcome to Ithaca Old Eureka Cemetary Where the Eagles Perch Radman's Stash Jailhouse Trail All the containers, names, and/or themes are all very different. It also shows that I suck at picking names for my caches. I just also realized that what I just said has nothing to do with this topic, "If we don't succeed we run the risk of failure." - Dan Quayle Quote Link to comment
+Zartimus Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Gee Malak, would you say you have a theme going? Iced Tea. It's not a drink for everybody but they make for good caches. Quote Link to comment
+Zartimus Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I also wouldn't call what you're describing a 'theme'. I'd say it's more of a naming convention. To me a theme is something more like a cache named Indy's lost his watch and has a 'Raider's' thing going on, bullwhips, fedoras, etc.. But hey, it's all good! Especially if no one else is doing it!

+Terrapin Flyer Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I've decided to use song titles and lyrics from some of my favorite bands (Dead, Phish, moe., Feat, etc.). Rat In A Drain Ditch was our first hide, and a TB named Mulcahey is about to head out into the world. Got a few others were working on too.

AlphaOp Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 I considered, in a different area, using song titles for new caches as well. Heh, I like the Indiana Jones themed caches, that's cool. Plus, Lucky using "Elves" instead of Leprecha... Leprach... Leperac... Leprecha... well... you know.

+Salvelinus Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I don't really have a unifying title for my caches, but all my caches are located along creeks. Except for the one I adopted!

Enos Shenk Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 urbana #1: Leviathan - archived, washed away Urbana #2: Beckett's Run - archived, stolen Urbana #3: Dodgy Deals - active Urbana #4: The City She Loves Me - active I also seem to be on an austrailian drain naming kick. Secret Squirrels and Dodgy Deals are both drain names down under. [Episkipos Enos Shenk, KSC] [http://enos.deviantart.com] Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I had a series that had a theme to the names. But I only ever explained to to a couple of people and figured everyone else could figure it out. Half the series is now changed into another series. The remaining half will follow soon. ============================== Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment
+flask Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 mine have names that describe the location or the contents, or the container. i'm thinking of one that's named "up yours, governor chittenden". it's kind of a clue. it doesn't matter if you get to camp at one or at six. dinner is still at six.
