ADORABLE SOCK MONKEY NAMING CONTEST 2008!
Neglected you may be, but duty calls, my pearl-extruding readers.
I present you with Exhibit A:
Items of note:
- One nephew, resembling a 1920s speakeasy bouncer, sleeping
- One sock monkey, resembling a 1920s speakeasy sock monkey, sleeping (with eyes open, like some sort of freaky wizard)
All in all, rather similar.
However, the sock monkey is lacking in one single regard — IT HAS NO NAME!
My sisterwhoeatspoofortwo has asked me to not use my own singular talents to come up with the perfect name for the sock monkey.
No… she asks YOU for YOUR help.
In this, her hour of darkest need, you can do no less.
You… can do no less.

Oh, God, I’m the first one, eh? I guess it’s up to me to lead off with the obvious, then. How about “Stripes”?
January 10th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Ok, we have “Stripes”. Good start. But let’s keep it coming folks, we gotta WORK TOGETHER ON THIS!
Sock monkeys don’t name themselves.

Is that the old Teutonic spelling?

Socka-Toe-a
Like Krackatowa but with less emphasis on stubbed toe imagery

I like Mr Nanners.
Socka-Toe-A made me think of another possibility:
“Sockagawea”.

Well, the sock monkey in our house is named Mr. Murphy. Which is the name of the stuffed monkey in my oldest son’s once favourite tv show, Poko. IMO a perfect name for a monkey.
January 10th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Ok, we have some pretty former offerings here — “Mr. Nanners”… “Mr. Murphy”…
Maybe the monkey should be wearing the tie?
January 10th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Which one is the sock monkey again?
Just kidding. You said “eyes open”.
“Noodles.”
January 10th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
OK, how about “Space Pants”, since the “Monkey” part is a given?
No, that would just confuse the kid. Maybe “Curious Sock Monkey?” “Mighty Joe Sock Monkey?” “King Sock Monkey?” “Son Of King Sock Monkey?”
Stop me anyti

That’s a no brainier. “Poka dot”. It will raise eyebrows and it is fun to say!

“Tux”
Easy to say
Doesn’t have to do with monkeys per se
Not completely obvious
I like the way it sounds
Kind of sounds like “tucks” as in “mommy tucks you in”
Goes with “tails”, just like monkeys do
OK - no good reason….

[...] didn’t know what to call it, so Uncle Monkey Pants had a contest, Uncle Monkey Pants’ friends voted, and now my sock monkey has a name: Mr. [...]
