Hammock Gear Hammock - Ordered Up! - Gear Naming Contest?

**kevperro** · 10-29-2018, 20:01

I have to say it has been a total pleasure working with the guys (gals?) at Hammock Gear. My only complaint is that they should have come up with a witty model name for my new hammock.

"Zippered Bug Net - Hammock Hexon 1.6"

After an inspired performance naming "The Burrow" and "The Incubator", the poor hammock is left like the unwanted step-child without a proper name.

I propose a naming contest to rectify this situation and quick! How can you Google "Zippered Bug Net Hexon 1.6 Review"? Don't even attempt it! You may get fish net stockings or some shocking scatily clad entomologist!

Anyway... I'm very excited to be getting my "nameless Hammock Gear Hammock" and I decided to dress it all in Orange Hammock Gear insulation (properly named at that). Once I have everything in-house I'll give them a proper review.

Thanks guys (and gals)!

Can't wait to finally see one in the wild! Looking forward to the review as I'm contemplating getting one myself.

With an intro like that, who can resist?

How about "The Helluva?" You can say, "I've got a Helluva hammock from Hammock Gear to go with my Burrow and my Incubator."

Obvious corollary: "The Heckuva."

Time to bring back the crow....Stormcrow.

I'm going to let my name choices simmer in my creative juices for a while longer. But that Helluva Hammock is a good one!

Helluva is already taken as a brand of cheese and dips, it might not be the best image for a hammock, sounds kind of dairy.How about the Hibernator?

something like the hammock gear Hollow kinda plays on alliteration and an animal theme. also could be an animal name that maybe goes with burrow like rabbit or chipmunk.

Or....Aardvark! An animal so odd and ugly that in an endearing way it is also cute!

I always thought of burrow as an animal's home vs. burro, which is a donkey.

Sticking with that theme, how about Snuggery?

noun, British.
a snug place or position.
a comfortable or cozy room.
