What's in a name?

What's in a name?

Dwarves? Gods? Scientists? Oh my. 
We started naming each clock back about #15. It was just easier to remember names than numbers. And every clock is different, so why not?
But about clock #100, we got tired of names like William for Walnut, Javier for Jatoba. So we started naming them in batches:
We had a Game of Thrones week: Tyrion, Grigor, Davos ...
Then there was a Norse Gods week: Thor, Loki, Baldur ...
Ross, Monica and Joey are from our “Friends” week.
Women of Science week: Curie, Kwolek, Telkes…
Snow White week gave us Doc, Sleepy, Dopey, and four more.
We’ve also been through Star Trek, the planets, cities and countries… your ideas are welcome, too.  Send them our way - we’ll credit you if we use them!

How about naming them after seashells? The clocks are as beautiful and unique as they are: nautilus, conch, sand dollar, sea biscuit, periwinkle, triton, tulip, Scotch Bonnet.
Those of us who live on our beautiful NC coast also appreciate our amazing NC mountains and the artisans who make their homes there. Thanks for what y’all do!
