Name The Droid Contest

Steph Furlan October 15, 2012 13

Geeks! We have a new contest for you.

Some of you may know that Paper Droids started out as Blog 404 and went live on Halloween, October 31, 2011. To celebrate our first anniversary, we give you:

Before you ask…

What’s up for grabs?
Our mascot, The Droid–in doll form! Our talented style editor Nikita gave it life, and now it needs a home.

Is the droid a boy or a girl?
Geeks, it’s a robot. End of story. Think: gender-neutral.

Who is the contest open to?
Unfortunately due to shipping costs, the contest is only open to contestants living in Canada and the United States.

How can I enter?

When is the deadline?

Round 1: Ends November 14, and we’ll pick our top 5.

Round 2: From November 19-November 23, readers can vote on their favourite name and help the judges decide on a winner.

Round 3: On November 30, we’ll announce a winner.

Who are the Judges?
You are! During round 2, you’ll have a say which name you like best and why, helping the Paper Droids staff make the final call on the droid’s name.

Best of Luck!

Okay, here are my entries:

1. Hallow (Hall for short) seeing as Blog 404 went live on Halloween.
2. Roy the Droid (aka Roy) which apparently means ‘red’ in Scottish so it matches the red color
3. Rissors which is the combination of “rock” and “scissors,” get it? Rock, paper scissors!

You could call it “404″ as a throwback to the old blag name.
If you’d like it to be male, “Hephaestus” (in Greek) is the god of technology/skills; his name is “Vulcan” in Roman.
If you’d like it to be female, “Athena” (in Greek) would be the goddess of technology/skills.
