Naming contest update
All,
Remember that contest I posted a new name for our society newsletter? You all posted some neat names. The most unique, I think, and my personal favorite, was Mick's contribution of Orchidelphia. Anyway, I sent the names out to a small group of members and asked for opinions, without stating my own preferences. And, I added a couple that were not suggested here, as I said I would. Only one person understood Orchidelphia without an explanation. These were bright people, and if they didn't *get it* I can only imagine the reaction of our octogenarians. Orchidophile got attention, while orchidophilia sounded to some like a criminal activity, LOL! One of the names I added came from this group by accident. It was Orchidelirium, and it was included in an article about orchid boarding posted by Reka. I think that's going to be the new name. Still, for effort and originality, Mick is getting the cookies. Thought you'd like to know! Diana |

Diana,
Then use "The Orchidelphia Experiment" instead and that will easily beat Orchidelirium. People will definitely want to read The Orchidelphia Experiment. I love cookies. What's the next contest?... I'm ready. Mick |
