Thread: My new friend!

Hello!

As some of you may be aware, i am attempting to become a ventriloquist, and as such have been practicing for the past few months with an old puppet, a sock on my hand, or just talking to myself in a mirror (Much to the bewilderment of my cats and the amusement of my better half!).

Anyway, today i was pleasantly suprised when not only did Miss Delilah come and meet me after work in Birmingham, but stashed in her bag was a new puppet for me to use! I have attached (or tried to) pictures of the little guy on here for you all to have a looksie at. I have also posted the pics onto my Myspace page so if they didnt work on here, head over to there and have a peek!

But it occured to me that this ickle fella needs himself a monicker, and, to save my imagination, i thought i'd run a contest with you lovely lot and see who can come up with the bestest name! So guys and gals, get your finking hats on and let me know what you think would suit my new friend!

You do raise a good point sir, it is still early. Yet i am sat at work, phone-jockeying as always.

Parpar is quite good! But i also quite like Murray too, for some odd reason. :daft:

Thank you for your input, it is greatly appreciated!

Mel Mo? Like Elmo - but cooler!

Blimey Angel, thats some serious research there! hehe! I like the fact you suggested a personality too! I think i decided its gonna be a male monster though, as its easier for me to do a male voice than a female one. but thanks for the ideas! :hug:

And thank you Betty for the suggestion too. Now that you've mentioned Elmo, this guy looks like the offspring of Elmo and the Cookie Monster, if thats possible!

thanks again to all so far, but keep it coming please! :twothumbs:

I find ventrioloquist dummies quite eerie, so I'm pleased you went for a cute fluffy thing!

I'm exactly the same! Thats why i think i'm gonna stick with these kinda puppets as opposed to the dummies. Although i am also working on a comedy skit using a friend of mine as a 'ventriloquist doll' too.....

He's definitely a boy. I like Parpar too, from Dashy's list ...
