If the Reddit mascot's name is "Snoo," then the Lemmy mascot's name is . . . ? (lemmy.ml)

. . . just "Lemmy?" "Lem?" Something else entirely?

Another possibility could be "Stan" or "Stanislaw" (because of Stanisław Lem).

Lemmy of Motörhead's real name is "Ian Fraser Kilmister," so our guy could also be named "Ian" or "Kilmister;" Fraser probably not being a great choice for obvious reasons.

(Have I spent way too much time thinking about this? Is it way past time for me to stop drinking coffee and go to bed? You bet! ☕🤪)

I understand. In death, members of Lemmy do have a name. His name is Lemmy.

[-] hansolo@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

His name is Lemmy...Lemmy? Do we say Lemmy like last name and first name? Or just once, like Madonna?

[-] zdhzm2pgp@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

🤔 Is that official?

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

In my mind palace it is

Hey, how did you get hold of my passphrase?! 😵

[-] jimmux@programming.dev 11 points 10 months ago

It's more common than I was aware for software mascots to have distinct names from their respective products.

I kind of like "Ian". Seems suitably humble for a diminutive little rodent.

Another option might be from the band's own mascot, Snaggletooth.

[-] zdhzm2pgp@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Snaggletooth is kind of scary-looking 😱🙀, but ok!

From Wikipedia: "It was later suggested by some that the name originated from the phrase "lemmy a quid 'til Friday" because of his alleged habit of borrowing money from people to play slot machines."

[-] hansolo@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

I actually really like Ian as well.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

+1 for Ian

Our mascot is called Lemmy’s Mascot

[-] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 8 points 10 months ago

I'll vote for Stanislaw. That guy seems up Lemmys alley.

[-] AresUII@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Fraser probably not being a great choice for obvious reasons

sry ootl pls explain

Frasier Crane, the sitcom character, is played by Kelsey Grammar who is a Trumpster.

Putting it out there:

"Ralph"

[-] zdhzm2pgp@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Has a certain ring to it 👍 (Should we vote on this? Can we vote on this? Probably would want to get the ok first from the Admins since it is their baby).

[-] SpaceFox@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Kilmister is a cool name

[-] SpaceFox@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Or maybe Lenny the Memmy

[-] Guamer@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

Lou

Lou Lemmy

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

Isn't it obvious? It's 'loo'; when you use this site you're 'going to the loo'.
