Well you all definitly came up with some great ideas. I had a hard time narrowing them all down to ten choices, and there was no way i could narrow any more. So i chose the top ten based on originality, fittingness, and most importantly, ability to be used in a sentence :lol: . there were lots of really funny names, that no one could really say, so im afraid i had to drop them, but they were really good :cool: .

So here you go, i am allowing you to vote for your top 3 out of 10.

if you want to see all the names check out the contest thread:
https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=287078

ill let this poll go through the weekend until Tuesday March, 13 at 11:50 to give everyone a fair chance.

SO VOTE AWAY!

Bleh, I don't really like any of these. There were at least 10 others from the other thread I would put above all 10 of these. I guess SigZilla out of this list.

Personally, I think it needs to be something with hernia in it... just looking at it hurts.

Why can't it be the BFL? Any Doom fans from back in the day know what that stands for.

I voted Sigmasaurus Rex.

I just wish I could have got my idea in the poll to call it the "Sigar" (only because ONE of their lense should be called a sigar)
