THE SOCK ELEPHANT HAS A NAME

[truepenny]

First, THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE who suggested a name. You are all awesome, and I love all your suggestions.

In fact, not only was I not able to choose ONE correct name and ONE favorite, I couldn't even manage to choose TWO.

THEREFORE.

The sock elephant's name is Eleftheria Ada Lavanda Snodgrass, and her nickname is Elsu.

Eleftheria Snodgrass was suggested by Zafar (who does not have an LJ account), and I combined it with Ada Lavanda from aerinha, because (a) I loved both names and (b) she just seems to need a ridiculously long dactylic name. On the other hand, you can't call somebody Eleftheria Ada Lavanda Snodgrass all the time. The nickname Elsu was suggested by nipernaadiagain.

My three favorite names, in no particular order, are:
1. Aerandir (@MollyKanHas)
2. Galahadral (ejmam)
3. Madame Socky-Trunk (neko_san)

SO. Zafar, aerinha, nipernaadiagain, @MollyKanHas, ejmam, and neko_san, you have each won a copy of The Goblin Emperor! Email me at semonette (at) gmail (dot) com. Put "sock elephant" in the subject line so I know what it's about. Then tell me:

1. Name and shipping address. (I will ship anywhere in the world, no need to worry.)
2. Do you want the book personalized? (If you don't, no harm, no foul.)
3. IF YOU DO, to whom? (If there's a particular version of your name that makes you happier, please specify it.)

Once I have your information, I will send your book to you as quickly as I can.

Again, thank you to the winners, and thank you to everyone who made a suggestion. You have all brightened my life considerably, and I appreciate it.

Eleftheria Ada Lavanda Snodgrass thanks you, too.

I'm so very pleased/excited!
Also, honored that you've named your darling sock elephant after my great-great-great grandmother. Good names need to be kept in circulation.

That is a marvelous name! :-D

I am sad none of my names were chosen but that name is so perfect as to vibrate with awesomeness.

My thoughts exactly! Speaking of sock animals, I recently brought into being a Socktopus; perhaps I should trawl the name lists for an idea for him.

And post a picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Socktopus is possibly the most brilliant idea in the history of EVER. Seriously. WAY cooler than sliced bread.
