What's in a name? Bates

[starrylizard]

Does anyone have a favourite name for the Bates character. I need a first name for the fic that I'm writing, but I can't remember any of the ones other people have used. Please do tell, because I'm not a big fan and I'll likely give him a name you'll all hate. *grins

_wwsd_ made it after it we were joking about my PhD goals and stuff and she was saying she'd spur me on happily. Then I was laughing about next thing she'll have icons with chocolate or Rodney when i achieve something and whips and chains when I fail. She only made the former thank goodness. :p
It's fully sharable too, she posted it in her journal. :D

It always make me want to sing the 'Favourite things song' when i use it. You know... *sings* "Chocolate and Rodney and coffee and kittens ...brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things"

I don't know a chained Rodney could be interesting actually ;)

Hey I like that song! You could add diet coke and Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell in mine and that would be perfect!

I still might eventually make the whips and chains icon too!! (and I'm gunna sing that song everytime I look at the Rodney chocolate one now!)

I read a fic that actually called him Norman Bates!! Agreeing with kyokoaegis I could picture him as a 'Frank'...

Oh, and I downloaded that Semagic thing - It does look very cool. Thanks!

Hee! You'll have to show me if you make a chained Rodney. I guess you could use the screencaps where he's all tied up with a collar and add some other bits and pieces. :p

Norman Bates...that's just mean! The one I've seen before was Eugene I think, which if fine (though it brings up images of the creepy Xfiles dude that could streth and eat people's livers). Not sure about Frank! It makes me think of that damnable retrovision ad they used to have. I just don't like the name much since then. (Yes I am affected by TV far too much! :p)

Cool! I guess I wasn't the only one clueless about clients for LJ.
