How did you think of your clock name?

[Loki Clock]

When telling a new member how to pick a clock name, it seems like we always end up saying either to "be creative," "look around your room," or "look at the recommended names list."

So I thought it would be a lot better if instead we wrote how we've actually picked our clock names. You know, get the wheels turning in the head.

I picked my name because since I was 9 or so I've had a fascination, perhaps obsession, with Loki. Until I was about 14 or 15 I had a conspiracy theory going that I was somehow inextricably linked to him, evidenced by various symbological associations and the number of disasters I perceived to be surrounding my day of birth. So when I started pondering joining the CC, I toyed with this, I toyed with that, but when it came down to it and a friend asked if I'd considered joining this little group I knew there was only one real option for me.

[AstronautClock]

I like space

[EnglishClock]

I was going to be Tophatclock at first, because I always found it funny that the pieces of clothing and personality that england is supposed to be stereotyped for are pretty much the exact opposite in reality. Then I toyed around with the idea of InvisibleClock which was going to be an invisible humanoid character where you could only see the clothes and accessories he was carrying, like the top hat, a classy black suit, a monocle, a cane, various other stereotypes, with a clock floating somewhere on there.

After that I just thought English would be the most straight forward solution which could potentially include all of these things, and was suprised to find it hadn't been taken, 3 years after the birth of the clock crew. Signed up as English and here I am today. hello.

[PropagandaClock]

It reflects my personallity, style and my likings.

[TequilaClock]

Way back in the last months of 2005, I joined as Archangel Clock because i thought it would be pretty cool and I got a bit inspired of using it after watching Strange's "Lord of the Clocks" for some reason. I though using a roman helmet would be neat too.

That said I realized my clock was just too fucking hard to animate, and I had to face some dilemmas on how to animate the clock, helmet and wing in an appropriate angle, so I rejected it in the middle of 2006.

Later in jr high school's graduation trip I went to many places in Mexico including Guadalajara, Mexico City, Morelia, Zacatecas and Queretaro. And then I realized "hey! maybe a bottle clock would work too!", originally I thought MezcalClock would be a good idea but thought no one would know what it was, but then I browsed through the list of taken clock names and I saw no Tequila in there, which was a bit of a shock on how common the liquor is as scotch or vodka. i also picked it in a way it reflected myself: mexican, but white.

[Fireman]

I joined using PaperBagMask because that was my Newgrounds alias and was like yeah that isn't such a bad name. Then I got bored of it and didn't like it that much.
After doing some griefing on iscribble with my loveable fireman character I realised no one had taken Fireman yet! Then I was like woah the possibilities he could be a ball clock if you are really bad at animating BUT you can animate him as something decent if you have skill and it also is unique and doesn't sound gay at all.
So I went for it, was proud of it.
I wanted to be Lego at one point but a few other fags had called dibs on it that never where active. I didn't really know how that worked out at the time.

if thats the case then I would call you apocalyptic clock

[Wind-up Clock]

At first it was going to be "namelessclock," an entity that stole the life force from other clocks and retains their powers. Luckily i got enough sense in me to realize that was a stupid idea.

I chose mine from a list of names i made up during my lurking period (the others included C4, Grenade, B). Alarm clocks are wind-up, so why not a wind-up clock? My art skills were mediocre at best, so i just went with the idea of a ball clock with a key stuck in his back, just so i can keep drawing him without any problems with details. He was originally grey and a static key, but i changed it to red because it was more cheery, and finally got around to animating the key.

[FossilClock]

I originally wanted to be ClockClock to be witty and original
 
But uh
 
ClockClock was already taken by Koala
 
So I was like "hm how can I still be witty"
 
And then I put on my Fossil wristwatch
 
And I was like "oh that is a tiny clock
...
fantastic faggotry can come from this"
 
lo and behold, Fossil Clock
 
I just never really got around to making the wristwatch version because I am lazy forever and I realized that a wristwatch-based clock would be kind of gay
 
So I just stuck with the cracked skull

[Pencilclock]

Banana Dog was JUST. FUCKING. TERRIBLE!

[DWARFINATORclock]

im the king of originality

[TelephoneClock]

Telephone wasn't in the name database

[DiscoBallClock]

I usually intended to be YinYangClock, but it was taken. So I thought about it for a while and DiscoBallClock seemed like something cool to be.

[PaperClipClock]

i tried to do a 'tommorrows nobodys' style flash show with friends from school, i called the group "paper clip posse", the group fell through and I kept paperclip.

[MonsterMunch]

I joined as "Demon Clock" in 2003 when I was a stupid 14 year old pre-teen fuckward. After 18 months of people telling me my name sucked a great, big bag of dick and also constantly having new "deamon_clocks" join every fucking week I changed my name to MonsterMunchClock in late 2004.

I chose the name simply because I like monster munch.

[paperbag man]

my name originates from when i was 8-9 i made a weird ass comic about a vigilante called, paperbag man, who was an insane homeless guy who lives in an abandonned castle and puts on a paperbag at 6 pm then fires himselfe out of a cannon into a city nearbye and fights a evil mutated banana called, dr. mr. banana. ive always liked paperbag man so i thought it would be a good name for my clock. it was either that or contorted clock wich i might change it too in the near future, i need a design first.
