Naming Cables?

Anyone got any good ideas for names for cables?

We've become stuck for our 5 pin Din derivatives.

So now is the chance for fans (so obviously we can't do it ) of the kit that requires 5 pin Dins to come think up with some names.

Some of the suggestions we've had in house so far are:

1) Jackhammer.
2) Shepherd.
3) You've got some hope haven't you sunshine?
4) Decoder.
5) Unscrambler.

Obviously we can't seem to take it seriously ... so we thought we'd throw the floor open. Any ideas?

Cheers

 

Maybe you could name them after DJ's because they're keepers of the beat and like to dabble in re-mixes every now and then.

 

how about...

the PRaTerizer.

cheers

julian

 

DinDin (like TinTin)

And his dog Spot

And for dual cables - ThomThom

 

How about the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.

They did after all show us that the Earth is round...

 

Oh come on Guys, you can do better, I'm all out of naims for our earthy bretherin's flexible joy inducer, serious answers please guys, cheers Tone

 

Extending one of the themes you thought of already, how about the 'Ovinae' series?

Doom

The Apocalypse

Let me Entertain You

Milton Keynes

The Peanut Smuggler

The Kryptonic Knight V1.1

The Electron Catalyst

The Fecking Ting Facilitator Tendril

Asia Minor

Voodoo Voloceraptor

Entrails of Elysium

DINo (satisfying all your DIN PIN needs and more)

blah blah blah...............


(Are you not keeping with the same 'theme' as the others?)

 

erm
if im right, you have some named after battle ships (digital) and the others after planes (analogue)

So why not another military vehicle theme
tanks (Crusader, Sherman, Matilda etc), Missile (Rapier Exocet ....)

Edit --
quick search pulled some abstract missile names from india + argentina

Agni
Alacran
Condor
Mushak
Nodong (Like that!)
Prithvi
Spanker

Loads more........................

 

I have another on the same theme...

Omiga Audio proudly presents 'The Ovivorous Series'


(sheep eaters, in case you didn't know)

:Quad:

Yes getting better, but these are really 'do naim' the naim way, without the inner ear wax removal, they work well.
Were not neccessary looking to follow a current theme, there will be 3 cables 2 I/c's 1 power, you coyld even give them a series of there own, and lets get those creative juices flowing guys, and the 'parryator' isn't what were looking for Wm

 

How many in the DIN 'series'?

How about EARTHworm, ROUNDworm, and TAPEworm

 

We thought of a theme of makes of hammer drill.

But that was superceeded by the names of shears.

Then we were thinking of things that take something and absolutely transform it.

Applying this to the kit, led to the Din derivatives becoming:
sterilizer, pacifier, tamer and negotiator . No only joking, the idea is that they build on what people like about them, move them towards what we think they should already be like (we may never sell any of course!! ).

Sticking to themes, and that cable tweeking these systems was likened to us by someone who likes them even less than we do by "sticking an elastoplast on a leaking nuclear reactor", or the one we preferred "sticking tractor tyres on a hamster to turn it into an offroader" we then gave up.

How about:

The snake - contains real snake oil


Or, playing with adjectives ...

Fabulous Din
Magnificent Din
Enchanting Din

...

Maybe you could naim them after deserts. They are pretty unforgiving and hostile places, but with the allure of adventure, danger and pots of gold.

Chihuahuan
Sonoran
Mojave
Utah
Montana
Atacama
Sahara
Danakil
Ogaden
Nubian
Chalbi
Kalahari
Namib
Gobi
Thar
Arabian
Tanami


etc
etc

 

You're onto something there, Tone. How about monsters from the Dr Who series; or even the names of the actors who played Dr Who himself...

 

or Bad Tempered maybe ?

 

How about some classic 1970s names to go with the 1970s
technology :-

Avenger
Maxi
Marina
Viva
Chevette
Allegro

 

Why not call them.......

Dogs Bollox

Go on....dare to be different!
