The poll to name my iPhone is now OPEN
| July 13, 2009 | Posted by annathepiper under Faerie Blood |
Ladies and gentlemen, with the acquisition of my iPhone as of today, I hereby declare the poll for what to name it OPEN. I am posting it here on angelakorrati.com so as to be friendly to non-LJ users as well as LJ users.
You may still comment on any of the LJ-mirrored versions of this post, but I will be counting votes only on the main poll, so do please follow the cut over and vote there!
I had a total of 25 entries and elected to take them all. However, since this means some of the entrants have more entries than others, I have elected to allow y’all to choose up to three selections. But no more than three!
The poll should expire, assuming I set this up correctly, two weeks from tonight on the 27th. Y’all have until then to make your choice, and whoever’s in the lead by then will win either the free copy of Faerie Blood or a free copy of any other Drollerie Press book of their choice!
So get to voting, y’all, and even if you don’t have a horse in the race, you can still vote! Make your selections now!

Mnemosyne Eve Mycroft would make one bitchin’ name for a protagonist. If’n one of ‘em doesn’t end up being your phone’s name, I’m totally stealing the name for a character assuming I ever finish Melpomene’s Daughter and the recent run of Newfoundlander fiction.
You can totally steal any of those names for a character as far as I’m concerned! It’s not as if I have exclusive claim on them.
it isn’t letting me vote
or view results… and i rather *like* message fairy…
What happens when you click on the “Vote” link, at the very bottom of the post? Does it not work for you?
nothing happens. i wait, and wait and wait. if i try to do anything else, a message pops up telling me that it is still processing my last request. betcha this message? is going to take forever to go thru
i can’t even see what the vots numbers are 
Actually, I got your comment instantly, so no worries. Note that the ability to leave a comment on this blog doesn’t have anything to do with the ability to read the votes. They’re two different things.
I’m using a particular WordPress plugin to do the poll, so it’s possible that the plugin might not be happy with your browser. What browser are you using and what’s the operating system you’re using it on? Also, do you have Javascript enabled in the browser?
you are probably right – i have an oldish version if IE that i use, although it also won’t work w/ firefox, which is the latest version…
so, i shall just tell you
(no one likes my names lol)
it liked Sonata (which was mine too – i threw out a lot of names…) and Message Fairy and Mnemosyn…
thanks. i think we need an update on how the phone is working, after the polling is over – i’m really curious about how it works in general
Curious that it doesn’t work on Firefox for you; it works on Firefox just fine for me. Weird. (And I checked on both Firefox on my Mac here at home, and on Firefox on my PC at work…)
Duly noted re: your votes, though! I’ll get those in!
And hee, I’ll do an iPhone update post, sure.
BTW, if you’re not able to get a vote on the actual poll, you’re welcome to just leave your votes in the comments. There’s no reason this needs to be difficult or complicated. I can certainly tally your vote along with the ones that show up with the poll.
The current tally as of this moment, with 38 voters reporting in, is:
# Petalwing (29%, 11 Votes)
# Mnemosyne (26%, 10 Votes)
# Enterprose (24%, 9 Votes)
# EVE (18%, 7 Votes)
# Mycroft (11%, 4 Votes)
# Message Fairy (11%, 4 Votes)
# K-9 (8%, 3 Votes)
# Chip (8%, 3 Votes)

Just let me know which ones you want to vote for and leave them in a comment. I’ll vote on your behalf to get them into the poll proper.
