Playa Name for my Girlfriend

GutteralRetch · Post by **GutteralRetch** » Wed May 12, 2010 11:07 am

My girlfriend needs a Playa Name. She'll be coming with me to the SoulFire Regional Burn (in 30 days) down here in California, but she won't be attending Burning Man this year. I'd like her to have her name now, that way she'd be ready for future events... PLUS - She doesn't have a nickname, in general, at all!. That surprises me.

Anywho, she is Courtney V. She likes horror movies, zombies, eeyore and... ME!

Any help would be assimilated - ... Appreciated.

(I posted this in my ThemeCamp's board as well, but figured.. hell. May as well get as many responses as I can.)[s][/s][s][/s][s][/s]

I may just end up calling her Mrs. Retch

How about "Loser," since she's asking, via you, random strangers to pick her playa name, instead of earning one. Or being okay without one, as quite a few people are.

Ah, agreed. I haven't earned my either... does that mean I'm a no-name?

*POUT*

I'd say:

Do what you want
In any way you want
Concerning anyone you want
Knowing

Her
Ethereal name
And her preference for
Dialect

Her playa name will happen to her, it will choose her. No fighting it off. You don't get to make a playa name and have it stick.

Hopefully her playa name won't be She Who Set Tent on Fire or CrabbyPants.

What is it with people wanting playa names so bad?

And if you want one so bad, why can't you just make one up?

Not creative enough to think of a weird name that fits YOU? That's pathetic.

I second "Loser" but since it's too plain for the playa, her new name is "Loser Face"

Honestly, it's not the lack of creativity (As, we've come up with several names for her last week.) This was one of those topics where I welcomed the help of some long-time burners, and the fun of hearing suggestions from the community. All in good fun....

Obviously that point was not taken in the correct manner. :?

When she gets to the playa, you could ask the concierge if he has any suggestions...

My suggestion for her name- Void.

Ha ha, Loser Face.

PR and LF.

Started thinking about this more, and am now wondering is this the second generation of sparkle ponies?

-"Like, I'm so hip and cool, that I'm totally going to Burning Man, fur sure, like, I mean I even have my own 'burner name' cause I'm so in the scene and like, haven't even been out there yet, uhm, how close is it to the Galleria?"

blech...

I didn't know I was supposed to have a playa name when I first went.

There is only one appropriate place for "sparkle ponies' and that's on the dash of my van:

They may not be much to look at but at least they're loyal.

So it is true they check not only your supplies but also your Playa ID upon the arrival?! Ahaaa

Playa names happen, they dont get assigned off of a website...

I suggest she go to a burn first and see what happens.

My Burning Man Rebirth Certificate says "maggiemayday". Seriously, from my first year.

Loser Face and Pouty Face, maybe you should make sure you even LIKE Burning Man, before you go wanting the almighty playa name.

See, the thing about a "playa name," ya kinda need the playa to get one.

Otherwise, it's just "strangers who don't know anything about me from an internet message forum name."

Don't be that guy.

Or do, That Guy.
