In the last poll, we had 13 names and 220 votes spread out among them.
Kibby technically did win, but it only got 53 votes of 220 due to the sheer amount of potential names.

Due to this, I decided we should have a final poll where we have the 3 finalist names compete fairly since we have eliminated the other potential names. This will give us a much more accurate poll.

Fun fact: the main Kbird mascot comes canonically from Indonesia. At least that was my original intention.

Maybe let the poll stand for like 24 hours or so first, timezones etc.

[–] minnieo@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The other one stagnated, but yea maybe I should've. either way it seemed pretty conclusive. I'll leave this one up for longer, maybe 1-2 days depending on when votes stop coming in.

I love Bink and I think it would get more votes if others realized it is an anagram of kbin as originally suggested by @TheOlympian

[–] TheOlympian@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe of it was written as BinK it would be more obvious? I though about that when I originally suggested it but felt like maybe it was a little on the nose.

[–] RheingoldRiver@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

oh if it was written BinK i would like it a lot more

maybe like in children's handwriting? so B and K are uppercase but the letters are the same height

[–] cowvin@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I didn't choose bink because that name is already occupied in my head by http://www.radgametools.com/bnkmain.htm

[–] v13@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I would have voted that way had I thought about it.

[–] artillect@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Kibby's winning by a lot right now, but I hope Bink wins! I really like that name

[–] 7945129875@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It sounds like Bing, the Microsoft search engine.

[–] 10A@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, with the major difference being that Bing is a cringy awful name, whereas Bink is a fun anagram of kbin.

[–] theartist@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Bink is my favorite as well. Its an anagram of Kbin while Kibby sounds a little like someone referring to dog food.

[–] Xathonn@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I really like Kebin. Just makes me think of a derpy Kevin

[–] RheingoldRiver@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I like Kebin because it comes with built-in lore, just like kbin. We aren't starting from nothing, we're an existing community moving on to a new place. So our mascot's name shouldn't be a new creation, it should be a creative spin on a name that comes with previous lore, but new-and-improved, and suited to our new community.

Kevin + Kbin = Kebin :) it's perfect

[–] Semmelstulle@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Kebin sounds actually pretty nice

[–] LazaroFilm@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love Bink because it’s a Kbin anagram. Same letters, different order. @minnieo

[–] minnieo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, thats a very neat part about the name Bink, I like it. Ultimately, the poll will tell

[–] tipping_point@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It makes me happy to see this. It’s like watching the creation of a new community. I chose Kebin but I’d be cool with Kibby too.

[–] HandsHurtLoL@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I didn't see Kibby as even having enough votes on the other poll to be a serious contender. It's ... Too mushy cutesy for me, but I say that as someone who is usually pretty adoring of cutesy things. It bothers me that it doesn't have the letter n in it, so seems too far of a departure away from kbin.

I was originally on team Kebin, but just voted for Bink, which I do think is quite cutesy too, but I like that it's an anagram!

[–] quantum_hampster@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Kibby is the cutest name imo

[–] numbscroll@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

@minnieo it’s been so fun to follow this. Thanks for sharing your creativity and talent with us (and Kibby).

[–] metic@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kebin is too similar to Kbin. Kibby or Bink is different enough.

[–] Ada@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Kebin is too similar to Kbin

That's why it's good!
