Nookie?
Or, I suppose, Windkin would work too.
-
Ok … I know this is a contest but I’d like to put in a vote for Eveshka’s entry anyway because my books are like my security blankets. That would make the Nook (if I had one) my “blankie”. Put “Nook” and “blankie” together and you get “Nookie”!
-
-
Since it’s the nook that your book bought how about Kendis? (and has the bonus of a sidewas dig at “kindle”)
-
For the record, I have no animosity to the Kindle as a device! After all, several folks are reading about Kendis on their Kindles. So any naming motivations for the nook should not take this into consideration.
Kendis will, however, be grateful to have anything named after her.
-
-
I nominate Pookie. Yes, Garfield’s teddybear.
What?
-
Given the cover you’ve selected for it and all its Nethackish finery, I think the Nook should be named…
Yendor! -
It should be alliterative, so I nominate Norman!
-
Ooh, ooh! Can I take back my previous nomination?
Name it Scroll. (After the Scroll of Colors.)
-
If you want to go with the first thing that came to my head when I saw your notice (on Yahoo PMW group):
Nook the Book
… which makes it sound like a bookie
I guess I’d better think about this a little bit more.
(… but see comment above) -
I nominate Rook. As it’s close to Nook and it’s the name of Castle’s character in Heat Wave.
-
Mmmmm Castle!
(Also, for the reading audience, this does have the tie-in to the still heretofore unpublished Lament of the Dove, since Julian therein is after all the Rook.
)

‘Kendis’ comes to mind first, given the royalties that bought the Nook!
Failing that… how about Loki? Your first Nethack win was a Valkyrie, and no electronic product can be any alignment but Chaotic.
It’d be interesting if Huhetotl or Anhur bestowed Stormbrand upon you in exchange for the honor.Georgina or Jezebel could honor the ampersand. Sebastien is a name I like and he was an incubus in an Anne Bishop book, but… not a good Anne Bishop book.
Don’t name it Juiblex; the last thing you want is to be throwing up all the time while you’re trying to read, but Yeenoghu has a certain ring.
There’s something to be said for Koschei. Name it after the Deathless and maybe it’ll never break.
Oh, no, I know, I know! It should be called Dishwasher!
…What?
-
You want to choose one of these many fine suggestions? Gazerwolf already beat you to “Kendis” in an earlier comment, so I’ll have to let him claim that one. But any of these others would serve nicely!
-
-
In keeping with the trend I established in Deepsleep. “Anna’s Nook O’ De North(West)”. With respect to Robert J. Flaherty.
Look that up in your Funk and Wagnal’s!
-
GIR!
This is my faaaaaaavorite book!
-
I have actually used “GIR” for a device before, my previous handheld! On the other hand, this WOULD have the advantage of capturing my usual reaction to books in general, so.
-
-
You could name it Cranny! Nancy
-
Ha! Cute.
-
-
Drat, that was my favorite. ‘Dishwasher,’ I guess, since it makes me snicker at my own lameness. (You know, I’m tempted to kick the sink downstairs and see if a Nook pops out.)
-
Annnnnd that should’ve been posted a couple of branches up.
-
-
How about “Toober” for “TBR” (To Be Read)?
-
You already had a suggestion, do you want your new one to override your first one? (On the grounds of ‘one nomination per person’, please.
)-
Sounds good to me.
-
-
-
Amadeus.
Because it’s an awesome name, that’s why.
-
Name the Nook
How about Riori
-
How about Pippin? (Obviously short for for Peregrin Nook.)
-
Hey, did my reply get eaten? I suggested Pippin – short for Peregrin Nook, of course.
-
No, you’re good! I just was slow approving your comment, sorry about that!
And ooo, Peregrin Nook! That’s good!
-
-
Nope. Meriadoc Brandybook. Merry is a lover of maps and boats and considered the most intelligent of the e-hobbits… He was also smart enough not to look into the Palantir of Google and thus went on to help slay the mighty Nazgul of Redmond; he inherited the title Master of Bookland in Year 11 of the Fourth Age.
-
Opus
Both for it’s literary definition and for Opus the Penguin from Bloom County.
How could you not like Opus?
(Though I had a hard time with that… because I also Codex being at the opposite end of publishing spectrum!) -
Wookie the Nookie
-
I’ve been at the Lovecraft again, so I’m going to go with Necronominook. Or possibly Necronookicon…
-
Or, as someone else suggested, ‘Nookronomicon’… why didn’t I think of that???
-
-
I suggest that the Nook that Faerie Blood bought should be called (the) “Faerie Blook”. Blook for short.
-
Anna’s Naughty Nookie!
-
Really reaching here…
