I come from a family that names absolutely everything. Everyone's cars have names, the houses have names, even certain cups and foods have names. My car is a silver compact that is named 'Bully' after a silver bullet. Our other car is a mid-sized SUV name 'Biggie' because it's bigger than Bully. Men usually name their "man", and women usually name their "girls", so I cannot imagine that this a mystery concept.

My hubby, who I just married a year ago, has adopted this practice quite comfortably. We've been brainstorming for a name for my band. When I tell people that I am getting a band, I always explain it as a tool that "keeps me honest." So far the best name that we've come up with is 'Abe' for "Honest Abe"-President Abraham Lincoln. If we can figure out an acronym for Abe, we'll keep it. Maybe something like Anchors Before Eating but waaaaaayyyyy more clever. Think, think, think....

Are you naming your band?

I am glad I am not the only one that thinks like you. I had a name picked out before my surgery. I figured my band was my new life long friend and deserved a name and I chose LILY. I told another gal I met at the hospital my idea and today she emailed me and told me she named hers "Pheonix". I had my band done on August 5th and am doing great. Good luck to all you August people waiting for thier big day.

To The Top!

I have been thinking about the "Enforcer". I be Forced to make better choices and to eat healthier. It will also be a physical barrier in limiting the amount of food I can consume. It will Force me to lose this weight:biggrin:

The current leader in the clubhouse is "Stanley". Follow me here:

• The band is a tool
  
• The "Fat Max" line of tools is made by "Stanley"
  
• The Stanley Tool slogan is "Make Something Great!"
  
• As a bonus, the band is in my tum. And when I get to goal, he will be "Flat Stanley" (see Flat Stanley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
  
• Flat Stanley has adventures and I will to!
  

I like the upbeat and positive associations with the name!

I've been wondering what name you have been leaning more towards.

I like Stanley and all the associations with the name. Much better then Abe. Stanley seems to be a really friendly name as well. Good choice if you go with it.

Love the Flat Stanley! I work in an elementary school and the kids send flat Stanley all over the country and have them sent back. I would love to be thin like flat Stanley!

I'm thinking maybe Fullerton for mine. Still haven't decided for sure.

If you'd like to go for obscurity on the "fuller" theme, how about "Bucky" for F. Buckminster Fuller? He designed the most famous geodesic domes, such as the one at the Chicago Worlds Fair and the dome at Epcot is built on his design.

Band of blubbers..blub for short ...

Scrunchy.....

Murtle the girdle....

Okay okay no not on drugs yet just tired. I will go to bed now. I had fun any way!

Okay okay just one more: Michael as in Phelps because if you set your mind to it you can do anything!!! We are all going to be big winners!

Well actually, I will be fine with being just a big LOSER! :mad2:

Scrunchy.....

OMG that one made me REALLY laugh out loud!

So we've finally settled on Stanley! I ordered a silver baby feeding spoon with his name and birthdate engraved on it so that I will eat itty-bitty bites and not make him sick. :tongue2:

Some day I'll have that spoon mounted in a shadow box with a before and after picture (of me, silly, not Stanley )

I love the spoon idea with his/her birthday on it. Great motivational tool!! Best of luck! Now I have to pick my name and do the same.
