Office of Designation

[dutchfire]

We seem to have an unnamed warrior. I propose Peter Stuyvesant.

 

[1889]

I second that name.

 

[azzaman333]

Sounds good to me.

 

[dutchfire]

What shall we do with the names of the axes?

 

[Krill]

Name them after elements [/chemist]

 

[Memphus]

does barentz get a new name then or no?

 

[dutchfire]

Name them after elements [/chemist]

Fine by me as long as we take the Dutch names for the elements

 

[Krill]

Having just looked at the dutch periodic table some of the names look nice in English; Waterstof, boor, stikstof, zuurstof. Or name them after the transition metals; chroom, mangaan, ijzer etc. I don;t really mind what topic we use, I'd personally vote for whatever group or series of names sounded the coolest.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

I like those names!!

that is the link to the dutch periodic table that I used. Dutchfire can comment if it seems correct and on preper spelling I'm sure. We could do this as a proper poll or poll by paw, but this isn;t technically my area, so...

(English periodic table = http://www.ptable.com/?lang=en)

• B Boor
• C Koolstof
• N Stikstof
• F Fluor(?)
• P Fosfor
• S Zwavel
• Cl Chloor(?)
• Cr Chroom
• Mn Mangaan
• Fe Ijzer
• Br Broom(?)
• Ag Zilver
• Sb Antimoon
• Te Telluur
• I Jodium(?)
• Pt Platina
• Au Goud
• Hg Kwik
• Pb Lood
• Bi Bismut

 

[General_W]

Looks good to me!

 

[dutchfire]

The translations are all correct as far as I can see. (Alternatively, you could just wiki the element you want translated and click "Nederlands" in de languages box in the left menu.)

 

[dutchfire]

So, we have 2 unnamed axemen right now. Does everyone agree with naming them after the elements (in Dutch)?

If so, I'd like to propose Zuurstof (Oxygen) and Waterstof (Hydrogen) for these two axes.
I think we shouldn't change Hudson's name.

 

[regoarrarr]

Yes - let's just name them something and elements sounds good to me

 

[General_W]

Zuurstof (Oxygen) and Waterstof (Hydrogen)

I love it!

 

[AutomatedTeller]

the names sound great!!

 

[Ronnie1]

good by me....

@Krill: I see you edited your post with a list of names. They're all correct except Ijzer, which should be spelled IJzer (yeah, Dutch is a funny language ).
So of those elements are rather obscure though. What about this ordering:

O - Zuurstof
H - Waterstof
C - Koolstof
N - Stikstof
Fe - IJzer
Au - Goud
Ag - Zilver
Cu - Koper
S - Zwavel
P - Fosfor
He - Helium
Pb - Lood
Na - Natrium
Hg - Kwik

 

[AutomatedTeller]

I'd rather dump Helium. To be honest, I'd hate to be a warrior named Helium - sounds light weight !

 

[Krill]

Now that was a bad joke...

We may want a pretty big list though...we could end up with alot of axes.
