What's in a Name? (150th post Giveaway)
Thought I'd introduce you to this young lady who recently arrived at our place from the UK. I was one of the lucky winners in Trashalou's recent Bushfire Appeal raffle. The gorgeous girlie was made and donated by Kitty. Aren't her eyelashes adorable?
Her arrival generated much interest amongst the resident Quilt Inspectors. Oliver went straight in for a big sniff!
Then popped out of the way ...
so Molly could get a good look too.
Steady on, Mol! Don't knock her over!
That's better. My niece Tali thought Molly looked like a sentry on duty. Very upright and proper!
As this is my 150th post, I am having a little giveaway. I'd like some help with choosing a name for the pretty sock monkey girlie. To be in the running for the goodies below, please leave a comment including your suggestion by midnight Saturday 21st March. I will do a random draw next Sunday.

I think your monkey is gorgeous. Love the pink. I think she looks like a Matilda Monkey. Kim
ReplyDeleteChristine how cute....and I just love the photo of Molly on duty....
ReplyDeleteFurther to my original post, I think she should be Matilda May. She is just so cute. Wonder if there is a pattern available locally for her? Kim
ReplyDeleteHow adorable. Tess comes to mind as a name for her.
ReplyDeleteThe shots of Oliver and Molly are fantastic!!
Hey Christine!
ReplyDeleteLovely monkey... I like the name Milly Monkey.... sounds sweet to me :+)
I love that pic of Molly on Duty.

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteHow about Monica Sockittome Monkey. Oliver & Molly are such a camera loving pair. So cute.
Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteCute monkey. How about "Petal" after the flower in her hair(?).
Adore Oliver and Molly.
She is definitively a Marion Monkey and she is so cute. And she is going to be a great friend to both Oliver and Molly.
ReplyDeleteThe monkey is so cute, he makes me smile!

She is adorable! Love the pink. My first thought was Milly; and then Petunia and Daisy came to mind - thinking of the flower. And then on reading through again - I thought of Kitty, after the maker.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with choosing; and congratulations on the win, and the 150 post too!
Your 'security guards' do a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteI nominate "Girlie" as monkey's name.
Hi Christine...I love her bright colours..how about Lollipop!!
ReplyDeleteAre you surviving!! Isnt it fun!!!

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteJust love those eyelashes too and your quilt Inspectors are real characters. I think This Monkey with Personality should be called Miss Candy. She is a thoroughly Modern Miss after all :-))
Cheers

So glad that she has arrived safe and sound. From up here on the hill we have the suggestions of
ReplyDeleteDolly from destructoBoy
and
Kitty from Princess CurlyWurly. D'oh that one is gone. So now she is freestyling 'Lucy, Laura, Katie, Lily, Pippy,......'
The monkey is so cute. I like all the "m" names suggested. Here's another: how about Maggie Monkey? Thanks for the chance to win. Lynn --lynnosborne[at]verizon[dot]net
ReplyDeleteI thought of Lollipop, but Catherine beat me to it. I'll suggest Missie.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine - I'm so glad you like the monkey, and she arrived there safely. I look forward to finding out what she is eventually named, I will re-post about her on my blog, along with her new name.
ReplyDeletePlease don't enter my name in your very generous giveaway - there is nothing worse than someone new just turning up and muscling in on a giveaway! I will add your blog to my google reader and come back again soon - you've made such beautiful things here.
Your pets are really cute too.
Take care :-)
The monkey is so cute. How about Miss Maisy Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteChristine, I just love the pictures you have of Oliver and Molly checking out your newest acquisition. They really brought a smile to my face. Now for a name. The monkey is really pretty and bright... love it! But the name has to fit just right. Because of her color, I think she should be appropriately named, Fuschia.
ReplyDeleteHi, I nominate Pink as the monkeys name.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
I immediately thought of "Pink Pearl". She sure is cute....
ReplyDeleteMiss Pink Posey
ReplyDeleteOh she looks like a "Miss Miranda" to me! But so cute! Who'da thunk a pink monkey??
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 150th post. I have enjoyed every one of them. Your pink monkey is the cutest. She looks like a Monique to me!
ReplyDeleteI like the name "Pinkie". She is so cute.... Bonnnie in Tx. baw78413@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI think I would name her "Priscilla Pink".
ReplyDeleteLove your monkey...........how about Pretty Pinky?
ReplyDeletelibertythreads@charter.net

ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous. She told me she was called Tilly Tudeldum.
ReplyDeletetich
I think she looks like a 'Rosie' She's great
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute. I think she looks like a Miss Fuscilla!!
ReplyDeleteYes she is a cutie. I think her name should be Victoria. Happy days.
ReplyDeleteI think she looks like a 'Mindy-Lou Monkey' - she sure is popular already with Molly and Oliver and your niece all making her welcome :o)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 150th post! I think she looks like a 'Mabel'.
ReplyDeleteHi Chrisitne,
ReplyDeletejust love the monkey she is so sweet and doing a good job...If she live at my house she would be called "Cherise"
cheers Vickie
She is so cute. I think she should be called Cutie Pie. She looks like she could be a real flirt with those eye lashes.
ReplyDeleteI have just found your blog over at Jo J's and will be back ,How about Monica? for your delightful sock monkey ..love Jan xx
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,

ReplyDeleteHow about Mary, after Marysville?
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute!! I'm sure she'd love to pop up the road for a sleep-over at Auntie Kathy's too :-)
ReplyDeleteTali thinks she looks like a "Rose" 'cos she's got flowers in her hair AND on her dress ANd she's pink!!
One of Princess CurlyWhurly's suggestions of 'Pippy' made me think of Pippy Longstocking, but in this case I think she should be "Pippy Shortsock" lol.

My choice would be Pinky Poppet, Poppet for short because she looks like such a cheeky little poppet. Congratulations on 150 posts. I just made 150 yesterday but my posts anywhere near as pretty and sweet as yours, very humdrum.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on you 150th post. Your adorable monkey looks like a Primula to me.

Ok...we gathered all the sock monkeys that live here at Sock Monkey Ranch round the computer and showed them the pic of your new little gal. Then we took a vote and settled on the name "Izzy". We think it suits her perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWe also invite you and "Izzy" to drop by Sock Monkey Ranch online and meet all the monkeys. www.sockmonkeyranch.com
Oh, by the way...I have a dog named Oliver!
Thanks a bunch for sharing your little cutie,

I am awful with names but as soon as I looked at her Clarabelle jumped in my head!
ReplyDeleteI think Pinky Petunia is the right name for her. She surely is cute!
ReplyDeleteHi, the name 'Sidney' came to mind. Don't ask why!! Very cute monkey. Thanks for the giveaway. Sue @ mumm24boys@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteVery very cute. I think Penelope would be a good name but I haven't theh slightest idea why. And looks like you had fun bringing home new quilty goodies
ReplyDeleteI love this monkey and Miss Pinkie came to my mind as a name.

Millicent ("milly") comes to mind she's absolutely adorable, love her flower in her 'hair'. Hugs Jx (julie.manu@xtra.co.nz)
ReplyDeleteThe first name that came to mind was Mathilda, but it seem others thought the same so I think I will go with Isabella. She is just to bright and cheery.
ReplyDeleteOh Christine... what a lovely Monkey...
ReplyDeleteI think you should call her Seraphina, or as she come from the UK Queenie (or how about Bette???)
Beatie, That's her name she really is Beatrice Rose, but she said just call me Beatie and dont run out of peanuts.
