What’s In A Name?
Over my caching ‘career’, I’ve tried not to just place quality caches, but to also give them meaningful, if not colorful names. Yes, I have given a cache a dumb name (GC3A77W ), more than once (GC3B55H ), but overall, I’ve tried to give each geocache a name that is either mildly amusing, or one that is relevant to the area or the hide. I have “Hurry Hard” , “Size Matters”, and “Hair Pie 1&2″. Sometimes I like to curse…”Wear the Fox Hat”, “Life’s a Birch”. But it’s always tastefuly done, and all for fun.
I checked my profile, saw the list of over 70 hides, and I’m glad I don’t have any named something like “HDTDRJGYR” or “Evergreen Cache”.
But I’m not the only one that takes pride in naming their caches. Nemo named one “Are you a wingnut”. I’ve noticed names like “Fake trees need water too”, “Arachnophobia”, and the ever popular “Zonker’s caches are all around me”.
I hope to never get to this point, but there exists this one: GC30JFV
Or, here’s one: GC1H8Z6
And finally, the grandest geocache name of them all, one that a reviewer could not refuse: GC1V08E
Any cache name stories?
There are a bunch of good names that “slipped by”, for example, GC1VWZA GC1FG4N GC3BQ8B GC2JM8B or GC2AGW6. I am sure there are more out there.
GC14N0D Erratic Behaviour Earthcache
GCH015 The Sacred Raspberry Fields of Mapletonius
GC28HGW Corner Cache
I wonder how you pronounce this caching name

I usually try to have different names on my caches;
The SMB series comes to mind. I also have a multi called “Seriously guys, who forted?”. I also like puns like “My Way O’er the Highway” and “You’re Pasture Prime”.
There’s also my unfortunate animal series, which I really should add to someday…
Chatelaine and I did these in Arizona … do you think the title would fit on your ‘little’ gps?? GC1X219 …. GCPM8Q
I pronounce that one “GC1X219”
If I say the name of cache GC1V08E, will my comment be censored / deleted?
oh, i find myself looking for that one all the time. *smile*
Some cachers got cranky about my PMS series, but it didn’t last long.
