Title: Help name new route
Post by: El Mocho on September 01, 2013, 04:34:06 pm: Due to my normal inability to name new routes with anything which people like decided to put it to the vote.

First two have Seamus Heaney links (Exposure, and beowulf) as well as the more obvious, 3rd one seems a little boring to me and 4th is Mays suggestion...

Post by: moose on September 01, 2013, 06:33:37 pm: I like Grendel - a tribute to Heaney and in keeping with the beast theme. Along the same lines, how about Hrunting or Naegling: swords Beowulf used to try to slay the beasts, Grendel's mother and the dragon.

Post by: petejh on September 01, 2013, 07:02:07 pm: Just 'Beauty', it'll look good next to 'The Beast' and it is a beauty!

Leave Grendel etc to the link-up merchants.

Post by: chillax on September 01, 2013, 08:28:57 pm: Requiem for the Brute? A la requiem for the croppies, and Heaney himself. Too depressing? Otherwise I like grendel.

Post by: Fiend on September 01, 2013, 09:05:25 pm: To be fair all of these are vastly better than the usual fruit n bird stream of conciousness. I vote Beauty but would be happy if Captain Underpants won, I think May can be trusted with these things better than her dad can. Bon effort BTW.

Title: Re: Help name new route
Post by: Jaspersharpe on September 01, 2013, 10:56:03 pm: I voted Other. Cos The Other would be a great name on it's own but especially given this context. I realise there are much more sensible suggestions but as there's no pain aux chocolate on the poll it's null anyway.

Post by: Rocksteady on September 06, 2013, 10:40:52 am: Neck-a-neck between The Beauty and Captain Underpants - surely warrants a combination of the two?!

Beautiful Underpants?

Underpants beauty?

Post by: abarro81 on September 06, 2013, 10:56:16 am: Beauty is better than 'The Beauty'. Who's this Seamus Heaney chap and what's he got to do with the route anyway?

Post by: El Mocho on September 09, 2013, 07:52:51 pm: Looks like The Beauty it is (now used Captain Underpants elsewhere to keep May happy) feeling a little guilty using such a normal name but it does fit...

Beauty is better than 'The Beauty'.

Agreed. Lose the "The".

Post by: Luke Owens on September 10, 2013, 09:26:02 am: Surely it makes sense to keep the "The"? After all, the other routes it's part of all have "The" at the start:

The Brute
The Beauty
The Beast
