Flint Knits

Virgil.

He looks like a Franklin to me. Franklin is very cute.

oh my he’s adorable! you should make him up a little vest and a fez and he would be a little organ grinder monkey! i would name him newton. (i have no idea why, just my first instinct!)

August!

I think Ryan should name him Nigel.

First of all your monkey has so much personality - really well done! I would name him “The Captain” in reference to Captain Flint and thereby also a namesake for the gifter. Monkeys can be notrious by nature so why not name him for an infamous pirate!

You are so awesome. Both the monkey and the poetry are fabulous.

And I think his name should be Harold.

[But I just saw that Minty is suggesting Gerald. Perhaps a compromise, and his name could be Gerald Herold? Oh, he poetic possibilities!]

yo! he be g’chat.

Mighty Manfred

Polly? It’s been a long day, and that’s the best I can do.

Okay, I wrote a comment about half an hour ago and it never went through.

First, you are awesome. I love the monkey and I love the poem. Fabulous, both.

Secondly, my suggestion is Harold. That’s what I immediately thought when I saw him. Then I saw that Minty suggested Gerald. So maybe great minds think sort of alike? Or perhaps Ryan the monkey could have two names? Think of the poetic possibilities!

There once was a monkey named Gerald.
Or possibly he was named Harold.
The prize could be split
With Freshy the Mint,
If Ryan would name him Gerald Harold.

Very cute. Heh, I can’t remember what life was like before I read the word vaginer.

I’d say go for Spanky. Or Cheeky.

loved the poem!

he seems like an Archibald to me.

Oh my god. This is the most awesome post in the history of knit blogging. I have no name that is worth of your monkey or your limericks. Seriously, designer/finer/vaginer?

Or, actually, I do have one: George Gordon, Lord Byron. Mr. “But–Oh! ye lords of ladies intellectual/ Inform us truly, have they not hen-pecked you all?” would be deeply impressed.

George Burns.

Seriously.

I guess I’m late in my vote. I’d like to second Sarah’s vote of Virgil. He does so look like a thinker. If the name wins…let it go to her…she looks as if she needs a bit of inspiration!

I like the name Crochet (pronounced like rocket) for this monkey!

My lovely honey thinks that she looks like a Sarah. Simple but oh so sweet. Sarah means princess so actually she is in disguise as a simple ape destine to be queen of her people.

MiSure Missu
is my daughter’s suggestion 9 me sure miss you)

Joseph

He looks like a wily one, I’d go with Mischief!

Sancho

OMG he’s so cute!!

I’m thinking he’s an Elmer.

Momo. I know it’s kind of like Spot or Fluffy….. but it does fit. Or Momo Skinny Legs.

Egads he’s cute! Hmmm, ooh, how about Egads?

I love your poem!

I think the monkey looks like Aaron.

i love this monkey! What about Maurice?

Hector!

Obviously he should be called Bryan - Ryan’s monkey Bryan.

Well, it was obvious in my version of a mind…

Max.
He’s awfully cute.

Mortimer.

my vote is for pleepleus (”plee-plee-us”)

Floyd.

That poem was pretty cute. Will you be writing about all your FOs in that manner from now on? Hehe.

I suggest the name Mitchell. Its pretty versatile. He could be just Mitch or he can use Mitchell on his resume.

p.s. dang just realized someone else already suggested the same name I did. but they didn’t rhyme it…

How about ella?

Earl. It’s what popped in my head as soon as I saw him. He’s very cute!

Malcom!

I read this post and its photos with glee,
Since he’s really the cutest monkey
That I ever seed,
And I’m feeling the need
To christen his monkeyness Stanley.

(Rhyming is hard!)

Chief of Mischief

soooooooooo cute!

i’m gonna say Walcott, there’s something striking about a monkey whose name suggests he lives in Cape Cod and wears top-siders.

I’m submitting the name Oliver.

His name is Hang.

Milton!

Oh call him Zephyr (like the monkey in Babar).

He’s so awesomely cute!

Too funny!!! I love the silly postitions! My daughter says it’s name should be Bananas.

This monkey is certainly sweet,
I know that his REAL NAME is Pete,
He has a smart look,
Like he’s reading a book,
He’s a guy I’d sure like to meet!

Fun, fun, fun contest.

Ryan - pick Pete (it’s his REAL NAME afterall)

I think you should knit him a red fooshy cape and a leather diaper and call him Leonidas.

Jesus, you’re smart.

Ray. I nominate Ray. Because in that second shot, he has this very cool Ray Charles dark glasses vibe going on.

This is definitely the most original posting! What a fabulous poem. It seems to me Wickersham would be quite fitting. The Wickersham brothers are a mischievous trio of monkeys in Horton Hears a Who.

Gleek. The space monkey from that cartoon The Wonder Twins…

A monkey that looks like that can only be Curious George. I guess I’ve been indoctrinated by my childhood.

His name should be Charlie. Simple and sweet Charlie

Mustard Jar!

As in, “I’ll lick you out like a g**d**n m*th*rf*ck*n’ mustard jar.”

The problem when I see monkeys of any kind is that a face is immediately associated with them (the result of so many received email jokes over the past 8 years). And while I wouldn’t want to tarnish your monkey, I have to go with the name of that face. It’s George. But not George as in Curious. Nope, George as in W. I know, it deserves better!

Flinger for a girl…

Gaylord for a boy…

Hmm.. If it’s a girl, then Goodall, for Jane Goodall.

If it’s a boy, then Shakespeare, because if you give an infinite amount of monkeys on typewriters an infinite amount of time . . .

awww, Mr. P is so cute. he has a great smile

Briggle.

‘Cuz it sounds funny.

Antspants… I like the sound of that for a cheeky little monkey!

love the poses! he’s quite photogenic!
how ’bout naming him noodle? like one of the characters from the “band” gorillaz?

I’m having a hard time narrowing it down to just one name. At first I was thinking Long Legged Lance. But now I think I like YoSimian Sam better. Feel free to disqualify me based on my two entries!

Monkey McMonkerson!

Harald.

Chimp. That was meant to say chimp. Although chimo is quite a nice word, now I’ve typed it

Mungo

Momo.

Momo

Momo

I’ve always been a big fan of the name, Mr. Crazybones, for funny animals

That monkey is Chaz, for sure.

Bruce. Mainly because if you say it loud and for a long time, it sounds super funny. Broooooooose!

The reason it took me so long to leave this comment is that i had to scroll past 145 of them. Holy batman, that’s a lot of comments.

I love the new blog!!! The design is just perfect!

[…] having a monkey naming contest. Leave your suggestion by 11:59 pm EDT, March 16, and you could win a $20 WoolGirl gift […]

The monkey was made with two armpits
and soon he’ll be scratching them in fits,
He’s bound to be found
clowin around
and therefore his name should be KNitwit.

except he’s crocheted.
but that don’t fit!

Okay Pam. Here is goes. I didn’t think I would enter the contest but I will….I’ll suggest my nickname as the Monkey Man’s name…..drum roll…..

Snuffywump.

I know..it’s goofey. And it lends itself to several different variations that my husband mockingly calls me as well…such as

Snuffywumpus, Snufftyrump etc. etc.

And of course…he also calls me Snuggle Chunk as well….but….umm….you get the idea.

Herman.

I like Maude. And Wickersham. But he looks like a complex and sneaky monkey to me. I vote for Barabbas.

Cha-cha!

I’m not sure whether it’s been suggested yet of not, but the first name I thought of was Hobey. I don’t know why.

Sorry to be so generic, but it’s George.

Love the monkey… hope it’s not too late for a submission.

Trying the get into the mind frame of a little boy here… I’m thinking of a cousin who had an imaginary friend named “Casserole” and I think that could be a good name… but I also like the name “Broccoli” for a monkey for some reason haha. “Myles”, “Niles” or “Nigel” could work as well if the food names are no good. Oh or “Lanky” because of the long legs and arms :o).

Fun contest!

I just recently had to explain to my 10 year old daughter what a banana hammock is. In honor of that, I think my suggestion will be to name him Speedie. (Thought process goes like this…monkeys eat bananas=banana hammock=speedo bathing suits=speedie…yes I need my kids to get well so I can get out of the house!) If I had a cool monkey like that, I would name him Speedie and then giggle every time I told anyone what his name was with them being none the wiser.

He’s very cute … and looks quite wise.

I don’t think anyone has picked Darwin yet (and his nickname could be Chuck)

I’m agreeing with the G theme (for Gmail). So my suggestion is Godfrey.

I’ve read through all the comments and don’t think anyone has suggested the name I think he should be called. I think he looks like an Aimsley.

Jordie. Very cute monkey.

I would name him Breathless, simply because he has no nostrils. Poor little guy.

Cute. How about buttons?

I vote for Trouble.

Merlin. Merlin the monkey is my vote… He just looks like a Merlin to me!

Only a monkey named Ambrose could lounge in such a way.

Cholemondeley, pronounced “Chumley”

he reminds me of a friend from college…Andrew.

i would have to say weston
it’s better than hal or a preston
this monkey’s got style
to last for a while
and nothing seems to impress him.

The only possible name for your monkey is what has already been deemed the greatest dog name in the world. I personally think it may be too much for a dog to handle, but I’m sure your monkey is up to the task. The only name for that monkey is Pasta-Batman.

(Also, I will be in the middle of the desert when this contest ends, so if you agree that the best monkey name, ever, is Pasta-Batman, I will not be available to bask in my glory until March 23.)

I definitely think he looks like a Desmond.

There once was a GMonk whose name
“Adorable George” was proclaimed;
But on closer inspection
Of gender intention,
We’ll have Georgia, not quite the same.

(No, I didn’t pore over the sweeties private parts, but I did sorta automatically refer to her as “she”…)

Please consider Filbert.

It isn’t a name, but it SOUNDS like a name, which is the best of both worlds for a monkey. And it’s also a tasty nut, which dear Filbert sort of resembles, unlike his gchat namesake, which does indeed resemble a more female bit of anatomy. (Of course, I meant that the monkey resembles the ACTUAL nut, which happens to share a name with the slang term for a reproductive organ… oh never mind. What I’m saying is that I’m not comparing your lovely crochet work to a testicle. I’d better stop talking.)

Shambles!

Ramona Bananapants.

[…] monkey! […]

VAGINER!!!
am i the only one who spewed when they saw that?

i think his name should be RANCHO………..
