Start the name suggestions for Mint 8

Post by Old Marcus »

So, now the RC of Gloria is out, we ought not to waste any time in suggesting some of the silliest names for Mint 8. :P

For Mint 8, they will begin with 'H'.

Mine: Hannah

Mush.

Yes, The naming convention is (I believe) Starting with 'H' and ending with 'A'.

I've previously suggested Hellena. I think they should end with an 'a', as it certainly has precedent, though I don't know it it's a requirement.

We're going for names with 'H'. Already on the 'G' :P

Here's what I got:

Halawa
Haldana
Halena (I particularly like this one. But sounds too much like Calena)
Halma (I like this one too, reminds me of Salma Hayek....yum!)
Hanna
Haiba
Hypatia

Plus one for "Helena." Not sure of the exact spelling, though.

I see no reasons for a name. Mint 8 is very easy to remember. What is wrong with keeping things simple?
