Interesting pair of names?

Asked by bpeoples (2551points) December 11th, 2008

Naming a couple of computers today or tomorrow. I like the names to have reasonably obscure meanings (Richard & Oscar, for instance. Less obscure Muninn and Huginn).

Any ideas?

Edmund and Edgar, from Lear?

I like Turner and Hooch, but I’m going for names (like Edmund & Edgar) that aren’t immediately recognizable as a pair…

Did you, @andrew, get the Richard and Oscar? I thought I had a really good one, and then a guy in my office said “The only Richard and Oscar I can think of is ___ and ___” I guess that’s what happens when I work with a bunch of theater geeks. =)

Yes, from lear. I didn’t get Richard and Oscar, though.

Lerner and Lowe?

@Sueanne Tremendous—I’m digging Lunt and Fontaine, althought I’d name them Alfred and Lynn =)

@andrew—Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein

I’m leaning towards Alfred and Lynn right now, they dont’ conflict with any other names we have in the office
