Just a thought but I was thinking E needs a name .Maybe some thing sexy like Cherry or something Queenish like Catherine or maybe some thing noble like Joan. I don't no what kind of name but I think a name would be helpful.
They say McDonalds name helped make them.So apparently names are important. Vicky was named after a Queen sure didn't hurt her popularity.

Victoria McDonald? Elizabeth Burger-King? Boudicea Kentucky-Fried-Chicken? Mary Pizza-Hut? Catherine Taco-Bell?
Or if you want to go full on Brit, why not Samantha (pronounced "Smanfer") Greggs?
HTH

Anne Subway! haha, my initial plan was to name the main character 'Lucy', after the first paleo-anthropological find that boosted the whole theory of Human Evolution. She was called 'Lucy'. There have since been many more finds, but that find was a very pivotal one.
I like Lucy, since it gives her more of a neutral and humble vibe, and the connection to our human history might add that extra bit of depth. What do you think?
I will obviously think more on it, as well as the beta team now.

I dunno, 'PE' has sorta become her brand name that most Poser users recognize by now, giving her a different name would probably cause confusion
She (as in the entire figure) will be called Project Evolution for a while for that very reason, even I still call her PE, but her system name is basically Evolution. But I think its fun to think of a name for the lead female character. What do you think?

I will probably end up calling her 'Eve' or Evo' in the end anyway ;) As she will end up being a sort of 'mitochondrial Eve' to many new characters, what about Eve? Will be easy to integrate with PE as well
I thought of that too, I like it, but wasn't there some character called Eva over at RDNA that got nailed by legal issues or something? I'd wanna be careful not to make any associations with that character.

Really? Must have been before my time then. Might want to ask shvrdavid about it , he might recall details. If it was long ago, chances are people today never heard of it, I certainly didnt

Good point, I'll defo ask.

Can't believe Sam skipped the Wendy's. Charley browns Lucy wasn't nice n primate Lucy isn't hot n sexy. Adam n Eves been done to much.
I was thinking a full name something like Scarlett Elisabeth Cesar Presley, that makes her sound beautiful popular n powerful.

Wendy's ain't too well known over here. There are a few scattered around here and there but the others are better known.
I suppose if you wanted to connect two really famous names you could go for Marylin Hoover or Kim Presley.
If you make a guy - and go with the fast food theme - you can go for Duncan Donuts. Unless he's Scottish, then it'd be Duncan Disorderly. The male famous names yields some good combinations, too: Elvis Trump, Clint Torn, Donald Obama.
All these are free, btw. Happy to be of assistance.

LMAOROTF!! That made my day Sam, thank you!
On the name: It should be a name that most cultures on this planet could speak and write easily (remember Poser's large userbase in Japan! And please also don't forget us Slavs...
Someone also should remember to check whether the prospected name doesn't have a dirty meaning in another language. Example car names: https://www.oddee.com/item_93544.aspx
I don't know whether the Issue with "Eve/Eva" is still valid (which I think is stupid anyway: "Eve" isn't a protected brand name!)
But I could imagine "Pretty Eve" being quite catchy for people and would also make a perfect acronym to "PE" (and in Russian, "ะบัะฐัะธะฒะฐั ะะฒะฐ" sounds nice too! )
Karina
(and with "PE", make it clear that the two letters are spelled separately: "Pe---Eh", not contracted )

lol yes, her name is Peh! Literally PEH!
Yeah I can understand that Lucy might have an odd association with an old fossilized gnarly skeleton from the Neogene. It might not be that appealing lol.
Eva.Hm. Makes me think of: evvaaa (vid)
"The fool is not the one that does something foolish, but the one that does nothing at all."
Well Sam it worked for Marilyn Manson. youtube if Marilyn Manson is unknown ,at your own risk. I would stay away from presidents names.
KarinaKiev The car Names was a riot.
I think just about any language would recognize these names.Scarlett Elisabeth Catherine Presley.
A long name like Scarlett Elisabeth Catherine Presley sounds more important then just PE.
PE is what we call gym in School .Stands for physical education.

lol you guys are funny!
So it looks like it might be Eve, its quite an obvious choice. However I think I'll throw up a poll with my betas, they also came with some nice options.

Ya something about freeing cold n a ungodly amount of snow just motivates you to stay home n CGI .Sandy beaches n hot girls in string bikinis are the CGI killers. ;)

And not surprisingly, the subject of many renders....
If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
While I'm driving my self crazy with new PC's networking etc etc. A thought crossed my mind. Well actually two thoughts
1 ray tracing renders really need to be faster and
2 DAZ buys meshes of all kinds including others characters. So it's possible DAZ might make you a offer to buy E.

I very much doubt they'll want a character that's built for Poser and potentially cuts into their Genesis sales. DAZ seem to be doing ok without third party human figures anyhow.

Naturally!

Lol! Yeah I considered the possibility of someone wanting to buy her. I don't think I'd do it, I want to stay in control of it. I'd be ok with others developing her, but I don't trust anyone else with making decisions for her . But yeah DAZ are doing fine with Genesis, they really don't need this figure. Let's see if she'll do well for Poser first of all lol!
BTW folks behind the scenes are a bit concerned for the name 'Eve' since it still does have negative associations, and its also a very overused name. So keep the ideas coming!
"The fool is not the one that does something foolish, but the one that does nothing at all."
Well, you_ could _name her after my daughter and a certain vendor here. I'd be happy for anything to get the name spread around a bit more since I'm royally hacked off with people either mispronoucing it or mis spelling it. It's not even difficult to spell or say but sometimes I have to stop meself from going postal. I suppose anything that's different from the usual Keeley/Kerry/Samantha/Stephanie/blah blah blah is going to throw people off course but when even the damn teachers can't get it right I despair.
Failing that - and based on the fact that most female names in Indo/European languages end in "a" (except Russia but they have to be difficult) - how about:
Ebola
Hypothermia
Chlamidya
Retsina
Passata
Rubella
Me? Serious? When ever am I?

Puts on serious head...
Most Brits would associate it with Ena Sharples, a character from the long running soap, Coronation Street. Not, IMO, a particularly pleasant name anyhow.
If it has to begin with E, how about Elaine, or one of the variants (all derived from Helen/Helena anyhow)? Ellen, Elena, Eleanor...
I guess there's always Elvira but that has Cassandra Peterson associations.
