An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The naming box is an entity on pre-scratch Earth and post-scratch Alternia. It is used to name children on the day they turn 13 years or 6 sweeps old, and was also used to name Alternia. It's become a running gag, that the first name entered is something silly and derogatory, such as Zoosmell Pooplord, Flighty Broad, Insufferable Prick and Farmstink Buttlass. The character being named expresses dissatisfaction at this, and their actual name is then entered.

abstract
  • The naming box is an entity on pre-scratch Earth and post-scratch Alternia. It is used to name children on the day they turn 13 years or 6 sweeps old, and was also used to name Alternia. It's become a running gag, that the first name entered is something silly and derogatory, such as Zoosmell Pooplord, Flighty Broad, Insufferable Prick and Farmstink Buttlass. The character being named expresses dissatisfaction at this, and their actual name is then entered. The naming box is a semi-physical entity, since Dave was able to cut it in half with a sword, and Karkat with a sickle. It is also seen through Trollian viewports, and so two of the kids' insulting names were typed in by trolls: "Flighty Broad" by Kanaya and "Iin2ufferable Priick" by Sollux. It should be noted that Sollux tried to name Dave before his thirteenth birthday, which the box did not allow. However, when Dave was named, he got the same derogatory name typed in, sans Sollux's typing quirk. On Alternia the box uses the Daedric Alphabet, and names Alternia and Karkat, though not before trying to give them the names "Turdodor Fuckball" and "Bulgereek Nookstain." The other eleven trolls weren't shown with their naming boxes; however, the command to introduce them was still called "Enter name."
