Something I’ve been thinking about

October 16th, 2007 by Atomictumor

So, since she tends to be a subject of conversation around here, I’m thinking that I need to figure out a better name for the ladyfriend.  Neither of us have been too crazy about “ladyfriend” as a name for her, because, well, I think it sounds more like a good hooker name than anything else.

She, unfortunately, can’t come up with one herself.  I can’t get onto her much, I didn’t come up with my name (although I did come up with the idea of shortening it to AT, so, y’know, points for me).

So, I’m thinking I’m gonna just toss out some ideas and see what happens.  Stream of consciousness powers - activate!

Uh, damn.  I got nothing.

I think what I’ll do is just badmouth her here, until she pops in and starts defending herself.

Except I know, in real life, she’ll just hit me on the ribs until I apologize.  Unfortunately, she’s learned my weaknesses.

Oh crap, and now you people have.

Dammit.

    I like petshopgirl. Reminds me of a great 80’s song. Plus, I love pets and everytime I go into the petshop I see her.

  2. Summers Says:

    Why not just use her first name?

  3. Jane Says:

    I don’t have anything for you as far as suggestions are concerned.

    I do agreee that “ladyfriend” is kind of lame.

    Gook luck!!

    I also remember the Pet Shop Boys singing a song called “West End Girl”. Good times!!

    O동물을 우리 살찌는 그녀는 소모할 것이다, here is my vote, in Korean……….. It means, “She who fattens the animals we will consume”

    Ribsy?

  6. Debbie Says:

    Don’t know what to tell you AT. Me and my “boyfriend” are in the same situation. I feel like were to old to be boyfriend and girlfriend, maybe he should just get me a ring so I can be his wife. HAHA

    I like PSG (pet shop girl) or Rib Poker.

    How about Isis? I had the neutron source in mind, but the Egyptian etymology (not to be confused with entomology) is cool too.

    Thank you for making me think of the scene between Jeff Bridges and Jon Polito (the Beetle-driving PI) in The Big Lebowski:

    The Dude: Look, just stay away from my f—–g lady friend.

    Da Fino: Hey, I’m not messing with your special lady.

    The Dude: She’s not my special lady, she’s my f—–g lady friend. I’m just helping her conceive.

    Joe, that is so totally where it came from. You win 500 points.

  11. Suzanne Says:

    I guess I’ll skip my suggestion of “special lady” then.

  12. VA Bluebelle Says:

    Totally off the wall because I know nothing about her, but I’m feeling the name Pixie. You know, playful, fun, sprightly.

  13. Cormette Says:

    I’ve always been fond of “She who must be adored”

  14. Jane Says:

    Yes Cormette!!

    That’s it!!

    I personally prefer :

    “My Queen”

  15. Mrs Eaves Says:

    I like Fishnet, though it kinda sounds like a hooker name, too.

  16. Kathy T. Says:

    With the feel of BJ’s blessings at the Blueberry Farm, how about “Blueberry”? Or is it too much like a Blackberry?

  17. Suzanne Says:

    Atomic Girl Friend (easily abbreviates to AGF).

  18. Jane Says:

    That’s a good one!!
