Name please 2011-02-23 13:24:17 Reply

Hey everyone, just letting you all know that I am working on an animated series. A few episodes have been written and are being worked on right now. It will be similar to Eddsworld, in the sense that it will be based around animated versions of myself and my friends... but there is a problem: I'm having some trouble trying to think up a name for it. :(
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Itdepends on what you want it to be about.If it is a random series of evets, the name should reflect that.If it is about a group of slackers based around a british animator and writer, then Eddworld would be the name. The name should reflect what you think the shows is about (Eddswolrd=more or less about Edd, Untitld=more or less random and nosensical)

It's hard to find a name.. It took me quite some time to combine my name with the word 'animation'.. (how original..)

Well, you could always use a simple template I have made up.

If it's drama or dramady- "___-Life" or something like that
Randomness= something equally random.
Anime= dont bother, just get out of the portal now.
action= Something fitting with the storyline
Art= Here? Nope.

If it's about a group of friends living together or in a town it could be:

if the main character hates it= "Why ______?"
if the main is part of a large ensemble cast, maybe you should go with giving the group a name, like and inside joke.

Something I'd like to see here is "Porcupines FTW" but that just makes no sense at all.

I considered that, but I don't really think it works.

I don't fully understand, could you elaborate a little more?

It took me a minute too..

If you have an action series, call it: "Guns and Kabooms" or "Running Through Fire"
Or a random series, call it: "Lolwut" or "Zomg-somethingclever" or "Potatoes!"
Or anime: gtfo the portal.

I too had some trouble thinking of a show name for a series of cartoon-short installations. Took me a good 10 minutes to come up with something memorable, short, and unused.

If you are doing something like Eddsworld, consider the show titles "Hey! Arnold, Pepperann.. uhm.. I should have a list but you get where I'm going: Keep it simple, to the point.

Good luck =)
