that porcelain jasper has such character tho, Sands, and all the members in here are such creative characters themselves, how could we not come up with great names? this one did take a lot of thought tho!

Llana-
BTW, I really liked your name. You should have been in the finals.
How are the finalists chosen? I hope that "a" hole from American Idol is somehow not involved in the process.

hi all ---first i wanna say all the names could have fit the stone,, and llana yours was a good one,, but like i said before the vote thingy only holds 8 names and most times its very hard to get down to 8 names ---how i start is i start at the begining and i write down all the names i like,, most times there are twice as many then will fit ,, then i sit with the list and the stone and i say each name and look at the stone if the name stands out i put a check next to it when i get done with that i count how many names again i have never had just 8 left so the real hard choice comes now ,, i try and sit with the list again and start over and try and pic my favs from whats left sometime it comes down to a coin toss as to which ones finaly make the last 8 because sometimes it just too hard to pick the final 8
so i hope i dont offend anyone by not picking there name because if your name didnt make the final cut that dont mean it wasent a good one --- i know im just one guy and one oppinion but i dont have any other way to only have 8 for a vote--and if you watch close there is a type of a pattern,, im alittle burnt from my younger days and i like scifi, mystic, and off the wall names,, so (hint-hint) hahaha

Sands, no need to apologize. We all know the rules when we offer names. We're all just glad you're so generous with the stones. It's a great deal of fun and don't worry...it works just fine. (BTW llana...didn't mean to answer for you or anything...). Good work sands...keep em coming. You and KD offer a lot to this board.

I tried to find the very first instance of this voting process to find the rules, but I can't find them anywhere. What happens when a winning name is chosen?
BTW my name wasn't chosen either

Sands, no need to apologize.Amen to that! Heck, when I made that post earlier I was only teasing! I am not upset at all - except maybe with myself, because I always have a brain fart and can't think of a good name! Until AFTER it already goes up for a vote! When I clicked on the this thread to vote, the first thing I thought when I saw the stone again was Purple MicroDot! That one might have have been in the running, but didn't think of it til too lalte! Oh well, I am saving my creativity for when I get my new diamond wheel on the grinder and start working on some stones! I hope that "a" hole from American Idol is somehow not involved in the process.LOL! No "a'holes here - from American Idol or anywhere else! Although I gotta admit, I do have my days! llana

Gee, now I wish I had used "my lips are sealed" as my vote - maybe you can make an exact identical one and I can use that name!!!

Sands-
I hope you (and the others) didn't take my comment seriously, I was just joking around and trying to have some fun.
I think what you're doing is pretty fun and look forward to more contests, even if they're rigged. J/K
