I donāt think I would even attempt a poll like this in a āvote for oneā system. The math just doesnāt work out. But this sort of poll is perfect for approval voting (vote for one or more).
With almost 1000 requests on the interest list, Iām hoping we get a LOT more votes in this poll. Perhaps the tables will turn once more votes come in.
FWIW
I know yall never listen to me and I thought about not posting at all but I just cant help it.
The way I see it is this was DBSARās baby and although someone can and should appreciate suggestions when naming a āchildā It is still the parent that has the final word. Jeeez, look at all the suggestionsā¦ā¦ Surely DBSAR has a favorite?
I think he ought to have the honor of choosing a name for it.
Okayā¦ā¦. I said it.
I do understand your thoughts on that.
I never really looked into the name and what would be good for it. I did like the BLF-LT with the logo one & Lantern symbol and border similar to the GT, but because the GT was built by Lumintop Barry mentioned it was awkward for the factory to use that logo because of its similarity to the one on a light built by a different factory. Neal contacted me recently asking about if we had a factory & engineers working on the lantern, project, as he expressed interest in this new project and having Lumintopās factory take on the project, but we had already handed the project production to Barry and the factory that build Sofirnās lights. (with Thorfire)
As for other alternate names for the lantern, I thought of others like: BLF-Lantern with the lantern logo either before or after the name string, but i still agree with some that ā BLF Lantern is very generic, and needs some kind of model designation. I also liked the one another suggested: āBLF-SARlanternā , or āBLF-ULTā as another name, ( ULT meaning UltimateLantern.)
so in reality the top favorite names i like in row of fave to last (excluding BLF-LT) is:
