What's in a Name?

Okie doke. As some of you have noticed, we like to give our soaps some rather, ahem, imaginative (we like to think creative) names. So, the question has come up a few times about the origins of some of our soap names. And we do admit, names like Sterno Bum, Gutter Snipe, Stupid Llamas , and Atticus in Argyle may beg that question.

Well, the secret is we like movies. Some of the time it's stupid or silly movies, but mostly it's just plain old good entertainment. If something strikes our fancy or inspires us, you can bet we'll find a way to make a soap name out of it. Case in point, two of our latest soaps are Don't Call Me Shirley and He Hates these Cans! Can you figure out the references?

So where is this going? We would like to give our customers and readers the chance to submit some name suggestions for a new soap for our 2007 line. Send us your best ideas - keep it clean ;) and include where you got the inspiration, ie. the movie name or show title. We'll choose our top five favorites and post them in a poll on our blog on November 1st for readers to vote on. The person who submitted the name that earns the most votes will win 3 bars of the newly named soap as soon as it joins our product line.

So put on those thinking caps and when you're ready click here to use our website contact form to submit your suggestion. Feel free to submit as many as you like! Remember, we need your name, your idea, and where the idea came from. Please include your email so we can get in touch with you in case your suggestion wins. We'll collect your ideas through October 31st, choose our five favorites, and then post the poll for the voting on Nov 1st. We'll announce the winning name Nov 15th. Have fun!

Note: We are a family-friendly website. Any offensive or inappropriate suggestions will not be considered. So keep it clean folks! Thanks!
