Default Naming is the game, and I suck at it.

Heather, I think its a prerequisite to name your jewelry if you sell it on a web site. It helps
people to remember which one they wanted instead of a bunch of numbers or some such. Besides, I
think names could intrigue some people to open the thumbnail to see the bigger picture and maybe buy
it. *shrug*

But no, other than my computer and my attempts to name my jewelry, I don't name anything else. Not
even my bad ass truck has a name. What would I call it? Hell, I cant even think of names for my
jewelry! hahahahahaha

ACK!! There are more like her out there???? Her name is Jane.......and oddly enough, she is very
INTO gardening. Her backyard is like a grotto with fountains and fish, etc. They all have names
too (G).

I assume you want the link to the female names on pendants. Have a look at this...she does a
smashing job.

I am always intrigued by previous occupations of beaders.......Kellie was a cop. But I think a
lot of beaders were into IT work. What could be more opposite than programming/fixing computers
and creating jewellery???

Heather - do you live near a gardener named Maddie? Or is she less one of a
kind then I thought? (BTW, my cars are always just "girl" or "baby")


I'm almost tempted to as for a link.....

You did give me my giggle for the week!! I am with Cheryl on this. I don't
name things. I have a rather crazy neighbour who names her trees, cars,
rocks and so on. Hence my aversion to naming a necklace or some such.

I just call them what they are.......copper Swaro pearl necklace, etc.
However when I mix in a lot of different beady things, I will say "it looks
African" for instance.

The woman who did the Vintaj pendant in the last Bead Style mag lives in BC
and I fell in love with that piece. I went to her website and she calls
each pendant by a first name........and a lot of them are weird!! My
necklace is called "Thora" by her.......not about to call it anything other
than my Vintaj and pearl pendant, LOL.

Cheers.....Heather

Does anyone else have a hard time coming up with names to call their
jewelry pieces?
I do, and I don't know why. Sometimes the name just comes to you, but
most times I am at a loss. I can sit here for hours and never come up with
a name to call this stuff. What the hell is wrong with me?

I started a word document where I list name, terms, sayings, and anything
that strikes me as a potential name for some jewelry piece - the right
piece. I just started to do this because I find it SOOOOOOOOO hard to
think of names for my pieces right when I need it. That's helped, but I
am still having a hard time of it.

Does anyone else have this problem? What do you all do to name your
jewelry pieces?
