let's play a game...

called, name the glue gun.

I have some issues with naming inanimate objects (and sometimes renaming animate ones)

in college...my freshmen 30 stomach was named clettis. (no pictures of that thank you very much!)

my sewing machine is named martha (YOU KNOW why.) (love that part in what happens in vegas)

my husband's nickname is captain inappropriate (he KNOWS why)

my car is called the pit...cause when we bought it was the most expensive thing we had ever bought and so we named it money pit.

but my poor little glue gun is nameless...

I have tried thinking of a few...none stick.

phil (for doctor phil) but it's pink..and I have it in my head she is a girl...so it didn't quite feel right. 

so I am putting it in your hands...

name the glue gun.

if I pick your name for my glue gun..

you win...

crap.

apron, keychain, hair stuff...the satisfaction of being awesome....that kind of thing.....

  3. I vote Bessie!
    It can be a nickname or a play on Elizbeth.
    I like it because it is an unusual name this day in age, and it really does have a history.
    Bessie Love was a Silent Film and sound actress born in Texas by the name of Jaunita Horton.
    Another pretty cool person with the name Bessie is
    Bessie Smith who was known as The Empress of the Blues. She contributed greatly to the blues and jazz alike.
    Plus its a sweet, reliable name. And those are the rasons I like it. History behind the gun ;D

    ReplyDelete
  12. How about Philomena? Its the girlie version of Phil. Or Priscilla? So fun!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Defnitiely Pinkilicious!
    or maybe Lotty - for some reason Lotty really tickles my fancy.
    or speaking of fancy ... maybe fancy nancy.

    ReplyDelete
  14. How about Florence - for Florence Nightengale? Because, you know, she CURED things. She was always HELPING OUT and she FIXED STUFF that was broken.
    You could call her Flo for short. And that's funny cuz the glue just FLOWS right out... haha! (Was that a stretch?) She looks like a cute little flo, doesn't she?

    And by the way, my daughter's in utero nickname was Cletus, too. (You know, Cletus the Fetus?) So basically your belly and my belly were BOTH cletus. How's that for serendipitous?

  15. I'm going with Jules . . . Cause I love CT!

  16. Ethel? As in the type of glue sticks most often used in glue guns (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) information courtesy of "Hot-Melt Adhesive" wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_melt_adhesive

    ReplyDelete
  17. You could also spell that Ethyl I gues to be more spot on?

    ReplyDelete

  19. I was thinking along the lines of Burnette or Burnetta for all the burns our sweet little fingers get when we use it. Good luck

    ReplyDelete
  20. oooh how about Li'l Kim. well because she is small, hot and awesome ;) lol x

    ReplyDelete
  21. OMG I name things too. There's Godfreed Gut (My ever growing beer belly), Bradley (my car), and Booger (my bf). Anyways, I was going to say Petunia, but then I saw that April had already said it.

    I mean if two people thinks she looks like a Petunia, she's probably a Petunia. HAHA

    ReplyDelete
  22. I like Doris. Doesn't that just make you think of some sweet old lady that is making you hot chocolate from scratch with extra whip cream, also from scratch, while she lets you dig through her crafting supplies and make anything you want to fill up the little crafting hole in your heart? Doris can fix anything. Doris can do anything. Because Doris, my dear, is a glue gun.

    :)

  23. I love the musical Wicked, so how about Glinda the good glue gun. Ha ha so fun!!!! I love that you named your car too. I always have and they have all been girls. :)

  24. I would put your hot pink glue gun up against Cinderella's glass slipper any day..therefore, I would go with Pinkerella.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I didn't read through everyone's post so not sure if anyone has thought of it yet but what came to mind was "Miss Fix It"

  28. Hottie McGee. I like to add McGee to everything. For example, my freshman 30 stomach was called fatty McGee.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Do you use it??? It is soo clean! Mine is covered with glue hunks.

    Name: Mikey...Mike Holmes (Canadian) is our resident fixer. It can be for either boy or girl. You're modern!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I vote "Bonnie"...because I've always dreamt of having a glue gun named after me. Really.

    Or Gluey McGluerton.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Jezebel. Yeah. .. Jezebel. Obviously, being pink, it's a she. But she's got a wild side, she's sassy. Jezebel.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I have to do it. I just have to. Her name should be...Pinkie! Duh!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I thinnk it looks like a Vicki.... Not sure why. Just the fist name that popped into my head.

    ReplyDelete
  34. She looks like a Norma to me.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Gloria or Ginger. In my house we name all of our cars and the name has to start with the letter of the type of car :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Liz...not sure why, just thinks its cute...

    ReplyDelete
  37. It's gotta be Barbie!
    She's girlie. She's got a perfect body. Everybody wants to be her best friend. :D

    ReplyDelete
  38. I think she looks like "Sophie". not sure if its a curse but my husband's family can only produce male and finally after 21years of boys being born, my brother in-law finally was able to produce a girl they named her "Sophie" and she is always in Pink.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I like Hot Stuff, she simply oooooozes that hot stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Strawberry Shortcake. Just looked at your glue gun and thought of that name :) Hope you find a good name for her :) There are so many great suggestions!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Aggie. Then you could be Kim and Aggie! (Not that I think you spend your life cleaning other people's houses, I just couldn't think of another double act with a Kim in it)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think you should name it Kadence with a K because you're enamored with Ks. Either that of King of (hair) Crap.

  44. Pinkie, after the painting by Thomas Lawrence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkie_%28Lawrence_painting%29 ). I've had that painting over my bed since I was elementary school (with a short break during high school and college, but she returned). I also like that the woman in the painting shares my name (Sarah) :-)

    Or maybe after a pink flower, like primrose or azalea.

    ReplyDelete
  45. "Betsy"....that is what I named my car....That way you can say "whoa Betsy hold yer horses"...

    ReplyDelete
  46. GiGi! (g g for glue gun! i call mine 'blister' for all the glue burns)

  49. How about Hilda? Sounds like a strapping, hard working name, doesn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Elvira because she's hot and mysterious :P

    ReplyDelete
  51. hmmmm....I'm thinking you should name it....

    ROXY!

    That way, you can say awesome things like...
    "Get em' foxy roxy"
    or
    "You Rock Roxy!"
    you know...stuff like that.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Gladys. Gladys Glue Gun. Yep... I like it.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I think "sassy" would be good :)

    ReplyDelete
  54. Sticky Sara? Hot Stuff? How about Gluey B. Gooey? :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. We call my aunt Phyl, short for Phyllis. So you could still have her named "Phil" but the female version of "Phyl."

    Well she is a glue gun so you could have the female version of Elmer (like the school glue), Emma.

    She could also be Kay or Mary Kay because Mary Kay rewards their saleswomen with pink things that look like that.

    ReplyDelete
  56. For some reason "Petunia" popped into my head. But perhaps that's because I'm sick of the frozen tundra SE Idaho is right now and am dreaming of spring and pretty flowers.

    ;)

    ReplyDelete
  57. You always wanted your name to be a dot back in the good old days so why not dot! And if not that I love Rizzo or Sandee! Grease is a flippin classic!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Pinky Lee. Grease quote: "To you from me, Pinky Lee!" :)

  60. How about Annie? As in "Annie get your (glue) gun"

    ReplyDelete
  61. I say Gertrude...Gertie for short.

    ReplyDelete
  62. How about Peg? Short for pegamento, which is glue in Spanish. And it's also the name of the saucy dog in Lady and the Tramp. A saucy, gluey name, for a glue gun that will be making saucy, gluey projects :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Pink Ladies from Greese popped in my head, I love Sandra Dee or Rizzo or my personal favorite Frenchy!

    ReplyDelete
  64. First thing that popped in my head was Roxanne...

    Then that song started playing in my head...

    "Roxanne, you don't have to turn on the red light"

    ReplyDelete
  65. Audrey (as in Audrey Hepburn)...classy, feminine, and timeless. I just love her and something about your glue gun made me think of her :)

    BTW Your glue gun is much more attractive than my old beat up orange and blue contraption. I can't even imagine what kind of name would be appropriate for it.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Tina...definitely Tina. :)

    My husband stole my cute little glue gun to do taxidermy work with!! YUK! Now, I'll have to get a new one...darn it. hee hee. :)

  67. I haven't read through all the comments so this may have already been posted, but I would go with Aggie. I've seen you abbreviate the blog AGAAGG and when I thought about that, Aggie popped in my head.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Don't know why I came up as "anonymous". :( Something goofed when I tried to use my wordpress account. I'll try again...

  72. Peggy...? She looks like a Peggy to me.

    ReplyDelete
  73. My first thought was along the lines of Lula, Luella...something Lu. (Glue. Lu. I dunno.)

    Then I remembered you love K. So...maybe Kassandra? That's what my friend calls me when I'm being sassy. And pink glue guns are sassy. (And you could call her Kass for short.)

    That's all I've got. :)

    ReplyDelete
  74. "Sonofa" because that's what you want to say every time she burns you.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Gertie Glue Gun. I had a bus driver growin' up and her name was Gertie. She had no teeth. Now, I just think it's funny. :)

    ReplyDelete

    I also vote for Li'l Kim! That is hilarious!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  85. Aphrodite 'cause you LOVE her so much!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Louster. Becuase it has nothing to do with anything and it's fun to say. Say it. Louster.
    The first car I ever bought was Egon. I loved that car.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Did you name her yet? How about Cleo? As in -Patra. Strong, able, and a little nuts.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Ok sister...In honor of the girl we love to hate...the girl who stole our man...the girl who BURNED us because she stole Harrison...

    CALISTA...say it out loud...CAAALISSSSSTA...plus that's the sound it makes when it burns your fingers (I got a 2nd degree one 3 weeks ago that hasn't quite healed...)

    Or in honor of my Greekness...ροζ (pa-do-gg...soft "g" like in gigi)
    Gigi could work, too...

    Or if perhaps Swahili for pink? What is it? Say it with me....PINK.

    ReplyDelete
  89. You often call your blog AGAAGG. What about using the "AGG" (a glue gun) to name her? Something like Aggatha perhaps? Just a thought... there are so many cute ideas already :)

    ReplyDelete
