Help me name My iPod

[TEG]

Now that my 40GB iPod is enroute, I need some help coming up with an approate name. I named my computer Waipahu after the City in Hawaii near wher I used to live. I'd like a Hawaiian City name or a Hawaiian word. However any I'll consider anything cool.

Please, my mind is wheeling, and I need a name.

[Doctor Q]

What could be more Hawaiian than iPoi?

[TEG]

iPoi, that would be good, but it would have to be i'Poi (EYE Poyee). I had thought of Ohana (Ohan'a) I was told it meant pearl, but reciently found out it means family. BTW a good Hawaiian English Translator/Dictionary is here: http://www.hisurf.com/hawaiian/dictionary.html

[jelloshotsrule]

how about "Nalu'aka"... which means "wave of shadow"?

;)

i personally would just name it "carl"

or

marvcus

[Doctor Q]

It's little, so... menehune!

[TEG]

An what does menehane (Men-ah-who-Nee?) mean?

TEG

[Doctor Q]

That's menehune (MEH-nay-hoo-nay), not menehane. In Hawaii, the mischievous little people, or Menehune, are said to haunt the deep forests or the mountains of Pu'ukapele ("Hills of Pele"). They come out mostly at night to play tricks on people. They are said to be about two feet high, although some have been seen as small as six inches, capable of fitting in the palm of someone's hand [note: just like an ipod].

My 3G 10GB is named Mervin,

but I think that Aristotle would be a sweet iPod name!

[tazo]

tazo

or

tazon8er

If you're gonna name your iPod after a Zappa, name it after Dweezil instead.

[Doctor Q]

Another Hawaiian suggestion: aloPod, pronounced "uh-lowwwwwwwwwwwwww-POD!"

[TEG]

Odie

ok not hawaiian, but i named my 3G 20GB iPod "Odessy" after the ship in the movie 2001, because its all white and shiny and has a mind of its own.

[zach]

Call it: Surf's Up.

That's reallllll Hawaiian.

[Abstract]

Call it iGav.

Oh wait, that may be taken...... ;)

[eyelikeart]

ipod = dopi (backwards)

ok...I'll stop now... ;)

Pearl sounds like a good name to me. A very special gem!

[TEG]

I do like Pearl, I'd just like to find it in Hawaiian, if the word even exists.

That's funny, I live about two miles from Waipahu.

I think you should name your iPod either:

The Real Dave Thomas Jr.

or:

Little Muffin Jr. #6

[bennetsaysargh]

how about
"My 6 ounce machine to screw the RIAA"?
or
"RIAA sucks-mobile":D
how about "oops, i traded again":p

i'll stop now:(

[Doctor Q]

Name it "my Power Mac G5". Then you can tell people "I take my Power Mac G5 wherever I go".

According to the site that you listed above, here is the translation! Hope that will be acceptable! I think that I like the English word better though!

Pearl - Momi
