My name is Bryanna and my #LitsyHandle is @bry ...hard to figure out that connection, isn‘t it?
I should also mention that it‘s pronounced Bree, even though it looks like it should rhyme with ‘try‘. Blame that one on my parents experimenting with the alternative spellings in the baby name book. 🤷‍♀️

Chelleo Yep, I was thinking Bry/Try...thanks for clueing us in!! 7y

James + Marion = Jamion Weird but not terrible. This really plays into my curiosity of what Beyoncé is going to name her twins!

Smangela Jayncé? (For Beyoncé lol) that could work... and hmm what would she do for the other twin. Maybe bey-z? Hahahah 7y

Mimi28 @Smangela That could work! lol I was wondering if she was going to go for another color-plant name. Their 5 year old daughter's name is Blue Ivy. Jay-Z's real name is Sean Carter so it would be Seacye, lol. I can't wait the suspense is killing me!! Yours sounds better, lol 7y
Mimi28 @Smangela oops Seance 7y
Smangela @mimi28 that's right!! Seance 😳 that kind of works but yikes, kind of scary too. I love their daughter's name, I think it works for her! I'm interested to see what they come up with too! 7y

I stole this from @Smangela - so much fun! My kid name would be Wilson, which totally works! (William and Stephenson). What would yours be?

britt_brooke Greela. 😳 Greg and Pamela 7y
laytonwoman3rd Charet. Or Lynret. My dad was a middle name guy. Using his real first name (Charles) works better, I think. My mom is Margaret. 7y

Smangela @Angelala007 might be a good pet name though! Could just be that I have a friend whose dog's name is Nomar haha ☺️ 7y
Smangela @NCNY I'm not even sure how to pronounce that one, that kid would have a heck of a time at school... and Starbucks 7y

After 20 name submissions and 24 hours of voting, we have a tie! If you consider the sticker male, might I suggest AudioPhil as a name? If you consider her female, might I suggest Paige Turner? Hope you have enjoyed this survey. Thanks to all who participated! 😊😊 It's been fun.

LisaJo What! Bob did not win? So sad. 😭 8y
Megabooks @LisaJo No, but he got several votes! 8y
Lindy Phil can be short for Phyllis or Philomina. Paige Turner could be a drag queen's stage name. No need to get stuck in gender binaries. 😊 8y
Megabooks @Lindy So true! I also thought of Phylicia. And Paige Turner would make a good drag name. 👍🏻 Thanks for the suggestion! 8y
Lizpixie Go Bob! 8y

WanderingBookaneer 😭😭😭 I have the sticker tattooed on the inside of my wrist and I don't like any of these names. Will I need tattoo removal? 😭😭😭 8y
BookishMarginalia I have to admit, I don't like any of these names either. 8y
Megabooks @WanderingBookaneer @gibblr @BookishMarginalia ☹️☹️ I'm sorry!!! Keep in mind, this is completely fun and unofficial. You, of course, may continue calling him/her/non-gendered pronoun whatever you wish. (edited) 8y

Hear ye, hear ye! To all who can see this post, thy aid is desired! This wee little lad, under the tender care and tutelage of one @A1001Musings , this the #LitsyBookGnome, needs a proper naming to occur. What dost thou suggesteth he be dubbed henceforth? Careful reflection is incumbent upon thee for thy important determination. And ye are thanked a fortnight over for thy support in this most momentous of considerations. #LGP

Bklover I like all of your votes! Sadly, the first name that popped into my head was David the Gnome. Not literary at all. Used to be a cartoon that I loved that was based on the book "The Secret Book of Gnomes". Most of you are probably too young to remember him. ? 8y
