Help me think of a cool name for my violin: (yes it's pink)

Soo Lin the violin.

Violet, it would thoroughly confuse anyone who is not well-versed in the canon ;)

And why, pray tell, is it pink?

Sherlock! It could be my viola's younger brother.

I like Soo Lin, Davina.

How about Arthur?

What about Jen(nifer Wilson)?

Rachel?

How about just "Pink!"

Yes, but you'd always have to shout it.

And be running down a flight of stairs.

Rache would work, too. Although then everyone who doesn't know SH and knows German would wonder why you named your violin revenge...

I guess that could be arranged ;)

Hm. I like "Soo Lin the violin" since it kind of rhymes. I don't know the background of "Violet" but apparently it has something to do with the canon so it's pretty cool since everybody who doesn't know about it will be like "But it's pink, not violet..." Plus it's a women's name.
"Rachel" is also fun. Or how about "Molly" or "Irene" or "Anthea"?

What about Alecia which is, of course, Pink's real name.

I know I suggested Rachel, but then I realized you'd have to scratch the name into the paint on the violin.

I used to have a violin named Nancy. I loved her. She sounded lovely.

**Posted by Davina** September 4, 2012 7:22 am

Would she do anything for you? (Casual 'Oliver' reference).

**Posted by Banbha** September 4, 2012 7:29 am

Haha, I wish. She could be cranky sometimes.

Hey Boss, I would love to know what you ended up calling your violin...
