Vote for the YarisWorld Traveler's Name (part 1 of 2) - Toyota Yaris Forums

*tomato* · 11-11-2009, 12:07 PM

These are the names (no more additions):

- Bambu

- Bernard (means "brave like a bear")

- Brando

- Bamboo (2 o's)

- Bambo with the '-' above the o

- Frank

- Vinny

- Columbus

- Oreo

- iBambo

- Bambino

- Panda

- Pan

We're going to need to do this in 2 threads because the poll option will only take 10 choices so BE SURE TO CHECK THE NAMES IN THREAD NO. 2:

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23856

RULES: We will have preliminaries (this poll will remain open for 5 days), after which time we will select the top 3 (ties included) for the final vote. Should there be a tie after that for the #1 spot, we can have another vote between those.

YOU MAY VOTE ONLY ONCE EITHER IN THREAD ONE OR THREAD TWO BUT NOT BOTH we may make the polls visible at the end so behave yourselves ;)

*tomato* · 11-11-2009, 12:32 PM

OK, the polls are open! Good luck to all the candidates! :)

TinyGiant · 11-11-2009, 12:42 PM

vote once between both polls or vote once in each poll?

CTScott · 11-11-2009, 12:47 PM

I say we just keep adding an "O" each time we add a bear. (Bambo, Bamboo, Bambooo,...)

Altitude · 11-11-2009, 12:59 PM

Yambo didn't make the list?

Shoot! I forgot about that.

Good point!!

Hang on now.

OK, it's VOTE ONLY ONCE IN EITHER THREAD BUT NOT BOTH I may have to make the votes visible though.

Yeah, the polls won't let us put more than 10 choices, so that's the best we can do.

Tamago · 11-11-2009, 01:01 PM

what happened to O.G. Bambo?

*tomato* · 11-11-2009, 01:06 PM

I don't know.
I guess these candidates ran out of money and withdrew from the race

Seriously, though, I took the names from the official thread's first post.

Darb · 11-11-2009, 04:56 PM

I didn't see Yambo or OG in that thread when we were discussing names. I've checked again, but if I missed it, link it to me?

*tomato* · 11-11-2009, 05:21 PM

Maybe I should just add them if it means that much to everybody. No biggy.

update.
OK, these 2 names have been added on the #2 poll.

hatchbackkid82 · 11-12-2009, 02:51 PM

Wait what happened to Bambo?

*tomato* · 11-13-2009, 11:55 AM

No love for Frank and Vinny? Aww

BTW, you guys do realize that "Bambo with a " above the o " will in all likelyhood become "Bambo" on the US keyboards

cali yaris · 11-13-2009, 12:29 PM

You added names AFTER starting the poll? - what about all the people (on BOTH polls) that already voted?

*tomato* · 11-13-2009, 12:35 PM

Garm, I think it will be OK since this is a preliminary vote only and only a couple of people had voted when I added the names.

What I think will happen is that several names everybody can live with will come out on top no matter what. Then, people will vote again.

Not adding the names would have made people unhappy.
Adding the names is making people unhappy.
Dammed if you do and doomed if you don't.

BTW, do you by any chance know of a guy or company that does embroidery of logos and that would be willing to do a small quantity of them? I'm having a really hard time finding a good price out here in SF.

Funny you should mention that. I've been inexplicably drawn to the name Vinny since I saw it. Don't know why, it just seems to fit the furry little guy.

*tomato* · 11-13-2009, 07:00 PM

I agree, it fits him really well.
There are 2 or 3 names I really like, it was a tough decision!

JBougie · 11-14-2009, 01:46 AM

Yeah, I wanted to vote 3 times LOL
