Naming a golem

[King of Asgaard]

I've got a list for you:

• 
  Lord Feldspar IV
  Sir Sedimentary
  Mr. Stalagmite/Mr. Stalactite
  Grandmaster Goldplate/Goldshank/Goldhide
  Sir Gilmmershine
  Mr. Shinesworth
  Mr. Mould
  Claybeard/Claylock

Enjoy.

I find myself needing a name for a Golem. It's better if you don't ask why. *stares dramatically into the middle-distance*

However, I have no idea what kinds of names Golems would have. Objects? Good old-fashioned British names? I just thought of a walking clay/stone/metal automaton with a monocle and top hat!

If you want a fancy-but-moderately-obscure reference, go with Talus. He's the metal groom/bodyguard of the wandering knight Artegal in Spenser's epic poem, "The Faerie Queene." Pretty much half the Artegal cantos consist of Talus ripping motherfuckers.

If it's made from Earth or Stone: Pebbles. Otherwise: Reginald P. Tideingiton the third.

 

[GonvilleBromhead]

Terrence or Tim.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Some sort of basal description might be more beneficial than just saying "I need a name for a thing."

 

[chozo_hybrid]

I'd go with Pump 19, having recently read Going Postal again.

 

[Albino Boo]

Personally, when looking for names I tend to raid cross country skiing, biathlon and ski jumping. However its best to avoid Jakov Fak and Andreas Wank for obvious reasons.

 

[StrangerQ]

Bob or Steve...
because there is not more generic or soulless name.

And i apologize if you are steve or bob i am just joking

 

[octafish]

Schlamazael or Schlemiel for traditional golems, depending on whether he spills soup or has soup spilled on him. For a flesh golem you can't go past Fleshy.

 

[LotusPhi]

You should name it Blimey, so that commanding it makes you sound a little bit British.

look up some orthodox hebrew names. they're foreign enough to not sound ridiculous, but also not as stupid as names you make up yourself (not to insult you, made-up names that ANYONE makes are usually just terrible)

 

[CriticalMiss]

You could call him Dorfl. Make sure you bake him a tongue though. He's no slave either, Dorfl works for a living.

I have to agree, it's the only possible name. If it's a dog golem then Gaspode is also acceptable.

"We can rebuild him. We have the pottery."

 

[CrazyJew]

Go with something obscenely Jewish sounding. Like Bernstein.

The word "Golem" IS jewish.

 

[M0rp43vs]

Keep it simple: Glem

 

[AlbertoDeSanta]

Bob. Because Bob is the best name for everything.

 

[Samantha Burt]

I'd go with Pump 19, having recently read Going Postal again.

I was going to suggest this. You could also go with Gladys.

Hmm... how about Arkatem. I dunno what it means, I literally came up with it 8 seconds ago.

 

[Souplex]

Name it after the golem I know: Daniel Honig.
