But I'm cool.

And I make my jackets look good.

Girl, our line "names" were a paragraph long rhyme--and they weren't pretty. And we could pick a couple of innocuous words from it to use on 'nalia, but never disclose the whole "name." We also could not disclose our ship's name, just the initials, except to other chapter sorors.

Anyway I figured them out a while ago and they fit perfectly. There should be a forum on here though for why everyone on here always answers everything so defensively, instead of trying to help people there is nothing but sarcasm and immaturity

Because to many of us line names are such a personal chapter thing that we cannot fathom why you would ask the question here. Not being bitchy, just honest.

I got a a few ideas...


1. Smokey, Dopey and Doc

2. Rent their shirts out to buig corporations: one of them can can be called FedEx, the other Staples, and so on....just make sure it's not rented out to a company going under like Enron or that person will be hard pressed to come up with a new line name

3. Throw some silverware down some stairs and name them.....oh....wait that's an old racist joke....

4. Take the prefixes La, Sha and suffixes na and qua.....oh wait that's another racist joke....dammmit...

5. Ask them what their MySpace creen name is and try that.

6. Watch a few episodes of American Gladiator and use those names

7. If that doesn't work, the XFL has a few left over jerseys with crazy names that may be up for grabs.

8. Name them after Outkast songs.

9. Still thinking...nothing is coming to me.......

10. The last one that I can think of......maybe get to know your littles and try naming tham after what their personality is.....



BTW.....not trying to be snarky....





**snicker**



P.S. ROFL @ Noah's Ark......

Trying to figure out why you came back here are *itcy-like with this response. Whether you were looking for a name or a theme, no one on here could help you because we are not in your organization and don't know the women pledging. DUH! And how one org chooses line names has nothing to do with how your org does it. Do YOU and not what everyone else is doing

I've heard about line names like that - and I bet you still remember most (if not all) of your LS's line names too!

Something to keep in mind about line names, the longer the line name, the harder it is to get custom clothing. It could also get expensive b/c sometimes you have to pay per letter.
