Let's Name The Kraken - CONTEST ALERT!!!

** Entries Closed, we have officially named him Morris the Kraken **
Thank you for all of the suggestions!! 

He has been with me since the beginning, my little pal the kraken. Back when Joe and I launched our first collection together Joe's husband drew and designed the octopus for us and we even used it on a our first collection we released. I just love octopuses. I have them all over my home, so it is only fitting that there would be at least one as part of my business. If I could have tattoos I may even have him as a tattoo - but alas my psoriasis and super sensitive skin prevent me from committing to one. 

I decided to carry him through to the NoRudos brand (after the retirement of TSM Swimwear - you can get some of the final few pieces I have left at a good discount by the way here - https://norudos.com/collections/clearance), because as I see it, he kind of has an expression that "watches you" - as if to say "Hey we don't allow rudos (rude people) here!" or reminding us with his inquisitive stare to not be rude, just be YOU, lol. Maybe it is just me, but this character and I are entwined at this point. 

The issue is he has never had a name. I name so many things in my life, from my automobiles to trees in my yard, why wouldn't my kraken have one? I tried at one point to poll TSM for a name but there wasn't much participation. In order to generate some great ideas I thought maybe an incentive would help. A contest with a prize to name the kraken - NoRudos' mascot!

Tell me what you believe his name should be in the comments. Here are the criteria:

1) He is a He - but that doesn't mean we have to stick to just "masculine" names. This is NoRudos, we blur the norms and exist outside of the boxes. I probably will gravitate to a more masculine type name, but I am open, so give anything a try!

2) The name should be something that goes with all of my brand identities, from TSM to NoRudos - for example I probably won't select a name like "slim" or "tank" lol..

3) Entries are open until this post is updated with a selection, so as long as you don't see the chosen name at the top of this post, feel free to add your idea. You also can enter more than once, or provide more than one name in your entry.

4) The person that suggests the name that I ultimately use to name this mascot of NoRudos will win a free swim brief!!

So I hope to hear some really great ideas from you all! Thank you for the support on this journey and the NoRudos kraken is looking forward to an official name. 

Keep Body Positive and Speed-oh ON!
