Bitcoin Forum

MetaCo.in (http://MetaCo.in) is having several promotional contests this week leading up to our first group-buying deal launch this Saturday.  You can see the first promotional thread and winners here (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16290.0).  The current contest is to name MetaCo.in's whale mascot.  Post your best names here and tomorrow night we'll pick what we think the best one is and ship a shiny bitcoin and a half to the poster.

You get extra props if you can come up with a title like "Boris, the Triumph Whale".  Twitter has unfairly stigmatized whales as creatures of FAIL and we want to counteract that.

If you're not familiar with MetaCo.in or group-buying websites in general, you can read our forum announcement post (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=15252.0).  You can go to MetaCo.in (http://MetaCo.in) and sign up for email deal updates or follow us on Twitter (@metacoindeals (http://twitter.com/#!/metacoindeals)).

Darling, the Fabulous.

Moby Rick

Dale, The Whale of Deals

Moby Bit, the whale of bitcoins (cheesy  ;D )
Joe, the average whale
Darling

MeCo (shortening of MetaCo) Pronounced "meeko"

MeCo a whale of savings (play on a whale of a tale, but you can replaces the "a" with "the")

or MeCo the savings Whale

I would call him Mettie the Majestic.

Mettie because it's short for Metaco.in, and Majestic because that word captures the awesome essence of whales to me.  :)

Savale

Bit Whilly

Oh lol, didnt notice you had the same idea  ;D

Moby Bit

Moby BTC

Update: After thinking about it, you could just condense it to MoBTC, so phonetically it sorta works :)

You know, after that story we were all forced to read in school :)

So I know I said we were going to choose the name, but I didn't expect it to be so hard to choose.  So, I've posted a poll on this thread for you to vote for your favorite name.  I'll leave it up until tomorrow night.

BlowMe wasn't included?  Inconceivable!

Someone break the tie already. The suspense is killing me.

Hm. The poll is closed?

Since it is a tie, we're going to break it.  We love both names, but have decided Anth0n's name - (Admiral) Ace Coinsworth - is the best name.  However, MeowMixer's whale logo was such a dramatic improvement, we feel he deserves something for that as well.  How about this?  Anth0n gets the 1.5 coins and MeowMixer gets the I-just-made-it-up .5 btc consolation prize.  If you would both post or PM me an address, I ship you your winnings.  Congratulations and thanks to everyone for submitting entries.
