That's right everyone. I need some help from my Hammock Forums brothers and sisters.
During the latter part of last year I began designing and making quilts. I did not really have a name for anything I made because initially they were for me and frankly I did not think I would be in the place I am now. But here I am.
During a hike to the Linville Gorge a few of the Hammock Forums members were checking out my fractional underquilt and came up with the name of "Crowsnest". I mentioned that it might cause a little confusion with a product currently being offered by our own Jacks-R-Better. They said they really liked the name and that to them, it was different enough....so, I went with it. I kind of liked it as well. :rolleyes:
Fast forward to now and we are running into a few issues with the name. Sometimes people drop the "Crow" part of the name and just throw up the "Nest" part. More product confusion.... and that just makes things harder. With all of the hammock related acronyms out there, it is all a person can do to keep up with new lingo. Add to that two different products fighting for the same name....well, you get the picture.
By now I suppose you can see where I am going with this. I need a new name for my line of fractional underquilts. We are going to keep the word "Nest" completely out of the new name.
I want to keep the rules as simple as possible. Throw out a name that you think fits the quilt. The winner gets the thrill of victory and a free summer version of the yet-to-be-named quilt. I will run the contest until midnight (EST) on Sunday December 5th. I may need a few days after the contest end to decide on the winner but it should not take long. If the right one is thrown out there.....I will just know it! :boggle:
That is pretty much it. I am sure I have left something out but you guys will let me know what that is.....:) I want to try to keep this contest as simple as possible.

Crow make me think of indians.
The Crow-people, also known as Absaroka or Apsaalooke.
The UQ could be called Absaroka
The Crow-religion has a lot of mythical names.
The shaman is called Akbaalia.
Baaxpee is a spiritual power that makes us adult.
Andiciopec is a warrior invincible to bullets.
Summer UQ = Absaroka Baaxpee
3-season = Absaroka Akbaalia
Winter UQ = Absaroka Andiciopec
A little difficult to pronounce though........

You could do the whole Murder one, Third degree Murder etc. etc. thing. Since they seem to sell in flocks.:rolleyes:
( For those of you not in the know, a flock of crows is called a Murder)
Not exactly the imagery you prolly want to conjure up, but its all I got:D
Trying to stay in the theme with your other product offerings:
Burrow - a small snug place affording shelter or retreat
Incubator - An apparatus in which environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, can be controlled, often used for growing bacterial cultures, hatching eggs artificially, or providing suitable conditions for a chemical or biological reaction.
Raven's Roost - A perch on which domestic fowl or other birds rest or sleep

Storm Crow you never cease to amaze me ;)
Ok So the orginal name that you used for your winter UQ's was
Ptarmigan, very cool bird and I just like saying "Ptarmigan"
and secondly how bout the
Northern Cardinal (the OH state Bird)
p.s. (I already have a summer UQ so I only want bragging rights of the name (that is if I win fingers crossed for Ptarmigan) and some one else should get the quilt if you choose one of my suggested names)
StormCloud - It's as soft and light as a cloud... Oh wait, that would be just "Cloud". "StormCloud - Damp and full of static" -or- "It's electrifying"
I was also thinking "Crow's Belly", but really, who would want to sleep in the Crow's Belly??
Hammock Hugger. Scratch that, acronym issues. :D
"Blackcrow" - Hey all WB Blackbirds aren't black
"Thong"
"Slipper"
"Scarecrow" - Just sounds cool!
On another note, I really like "Crowsnest," and hear by promise to never refer to it as a 'Nest if you agree to keep the original name.

The Thunderbird?
How about...
The 'BIRD'
This way; anyone can say they gave someone the 'BIRD' (as a gift). People can brag about being given the 'BIRD'.
And you can use it for each of the UQs.
3/4 UQs could be the 'Little BIRD'
Full length UQs could be the 'Big BIRD'
Didn't think I saw this one...
The 'FEATHER' (inspired by animalcontrols post)

The more I think about the "Hug", the more I like it. Who could resist a nice warm hug?
So, you could call it simply Hug or WarmHug or NiceWarmHug (which shortens to NWH - has that abbreviation been used yet?).
the talon cause it can hug the hammock so tight.
and you could add to fit the type as show with other entries

There have been some great entries thus far. But I'll throw my hat in the ring as well.
How about Storm King? (Or Stormking)
Gets both part of your name in it, as well as homage to a mountain or 5.
Plus it sounds all serious and majestic. :)
I like The Rook that someone mentioned already.
Also, I think someone already mentioned The Roost.
Another, might be a play on Hooded Crow.
Or, since your calling it your fractional quilt line - how 'bout The Blackbird (suppose the acronyms might cause an issue...)
Stormcrow's Nevermore
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary
Of the many cold quaint nights that I've hung before
While I nodded, never napping, from the cold against my backing
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my hammocks door
T'was some cool breeze through my layers, rapping through my hammocks door
Only this, and nothing more
But the Stormcrow, perched snuggly on my under, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing Further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
But the bird said, `Nevermore.'
Nevermore will you hang in the dreary, cold and quaint and needing more
Nevermore will you feel wanting, tossing, turning cold through the core
No, Not with Stormcrows Nevermore

Thanks guys, :)
Naming Convention for a line of Hammock Quilts consisting of a 3 x 3 Matrix
Rows - relates to the implied Temperature Rating
The three standard quilt lofts are designated by the following three prefixes:
Summer
3-Season
Winter
These prefixes serve to quickly identify the intended temperature range of the quilts and should be retained.
Therefore the new Quilt Name needs to work well with these three prefixes.
Columns - relates to the specific quilt construction
Top Quilt - presently Burrow
Fractional Under Quilt - presently CrowsNest
Under Quilt - presently Incubator
Ideally, these three suffixes would relate to each other AND identify the quilt construction type. However, the specific quilt construction type will become associated with its new name over time .
Nest is being discontinued to avoid confusion with another vendor's product .
Other existing names - Burrow for TQ and Incubator for UQ
Burrow is perfect as it relates to a structure found in nature that has a similar function as the quilt.
Incubator is pretty good as it relates to a structure that has a similar function as the quilt but has the disadvantage of being a man-made piece of equipment [artificial].
[I]Recommend that Incubator name be discontinued as well. Ideally some sort of design feature can be added to the new Under Quilts to further justify the name change.
Over time the brand recognition for the CrowsNest and the Incubator will be transferred to the new product names.
Therefore we need TWO new names that related to Burrow. So we need now to identify two structures found in nature and made by animals to keep them warm. Ideally one of the new names is a smaller version of the other name so that the they are both identified as the same basic piece of equipment, an UQ, with the only difference being the sizes [length].
Burrow [one down two to go]
Nest [oops :rolleyes: a shame though cause it fits really well with burrow, would the other guys part with it?]
Cave [too dark and scary]
Hive [no, implies multiple residents who are busy, not the backcountry experience I am looking for]
Lair [no, creepy, I am not going to want to check out anyone's lair, thanks though]
Cage [no, again, not going to come visit, especially if the hanger has one set-up next to his/her lair]
Coop [no, would kind of expect to find newspaper lining the inside of the hammock]
Kennel [nope, see Coop]
Pen [nope, see Coop]
Hollow [maybe, doesn't match burrow that well since it is used by animals but not really made by them]
Thicket [maybe, doesn't sound comfortable]
Mew [maybe, not well known]
Lodge [maybe, more recognized as a big log cabin than a beaver's home]
[B]Two Land-Based Names
Den [yes]
Warren [yes]
A Warren seems bigger than a Den
Two Tree Based- Names
Perch [yes]
Roost [yes]
A Roost seems bigger than a Perch
TQ................3/4 UQ.........Full UQ
Summer Burrow.....Summer Den.....Summer Warren
3-Season Burrow...3-Season Den...3-Season Warren
Winter Burrow.....Winter Den.....Winter Warren
TQ................3/4 UQ............Full UQ
Summer Burrow.....Summer Perch......Summer Roost
3-Season Burrow...3-Season Perch....3-Season Roost
Winter Burrow.....Winter Perch......Winter Roost
Post-Script
Darn, just found this in previous posts
Here are my stabs at it:
1. The Roost.
2. The Perch.
3. Nido (spanish for nest)
4. The wing
I still think dropping the incubator name as well is a good idea but I recognized that Buenos replied with the actual terms first
sigh.
TJM
Not to sound like a party-pooper, but from a brand recognition standpoint, it may make a lot of business sense to call all of your under quilts "Incubators" and just differentiate them as full-length or 3/4-length. (To take advantage of your already existing brand recognition).
But the contest is fun.
I don't know if your stormcrow name is a Lord of the Rings reference, but if it is you could go with "The Smial" which is the name for the hobbit dwellings.

" Top Wrap"
"Bottom Wrap"
Good luck in finding a new name !
3/4 length 20°F Incubator.
Simple, descriptive, and variables can be changed. For example:
Full length 5°F Incubator.
Now that I've read the entire thread, Dylan has said it first. I would suggest taking it a step further and drop the Summer/Winter/Three Season ratings and simply state the "lowest recommended temperature."

A crow is classified as a corvid so there could always be a play with that.
Maybe some sort of play on Scarecrow
I also like the thought of the "haven" series i.e.: Winter Haven Summer Haven UQ's
Personally I really like the term Crowsnest and never thought it was terribly confusing but that's just me I suppose.
I like the incubator/burrow so it'd be nice to stick with that naming scheme of bird related items. Many good suggestions in the previous 11 (!) pages already, but I don't think anyone mentioned
aerie / eyrie (nest for a bird of prey like eagle/hawk)
Some non-bird related ones that come to mind:

this was posted by shug back in august- has a nice ring to it.
that said, incubator has become very 'branded' as others have said. it has stuck with me personally.
if changing the name of the entire line--- why not just your names?
THE STORMCROW - FULL LENGTH -larger bird
THE WREN - 3/4 -smaller bird
and maybe back to ptarmigan as others have stated.

Good luck picking a product name, SC! (Personally, I think you should slant toward something with a "Wren" in it....) :)

A bower is a snuggly nest built by a bird. Pronounced like "bow" (the greeting) + "er'.
Well, look at the pictures of the partial quilts on the hammocks...
How about the Stormcrow DIAPER

How about simply the "Cozy". The acronym would be HGC and cozy is exactly what you feel in it.
The Incubator has a specific connotation. The Cozy would do the same and differentiate the weights and length.

Just to take it in a little different direction, how about "The Cloud 9"?

Just call it the Storm.
How about three types of storms:
Summer: The summer Squall
3S: The seasonal Storm
Winter: The winter Blizzard
or: rename the quilts along the lines you have now, but make your winter quilt the Hibernator. By that logic, then your summer quilt would have to be the Estivator, which no one has heard of besides zoologists. Never mind...back to the drawing board.

I thought a bit more about post #127 (mine), and ideas from Shug and Bigred72...
I agree with RipWaverly who said (quoting Shug) that your full-length underquilts should just be called StormQuilts.
So then maybe the shorter 3/4 version would be the Squall (a short storm, a short word, a short quilt).
So then you could ask for a Winter Stormquilt (= today's Incubator) or for a Three-Season Squall (= today's 3-S CrowsNest), for example.

Speaking of names. Why does the company have such a generic name? When we order a quilt, we know we are getting a Stormcrow. If somebody asks you what your awesome quilt is, you say with pride: "it's a Stormcrow".
I certainly mean no disrespect to Jenn. I know she's an essential part of the business, but isn't that what the product is known as?

How about Phoenix!
(or The Phoenix or something like that!)
I think that according to legend the mythological Phoenix ignites into flames and burns itself into ashes and then is somehow supernaturally resurrected and begins anew. The Phoenix sounds like a pretty hot name.
Wow. There are a lot of really great suggestions out there. Here is my suggestion:
The Flight by Stormcrow or Stormcrow's Flight.
Flight refers to the underquilt 'flying' under you (you already have the burrow that you climb into. A flight also can be associated with a collection of birds, which would be your 3/4 uq product line too. This name also gets away from any of the confusing nest or crow associations as well.
Stormcrow's Summer Flight
3 Season Flight
Winter Flight

I knew I would get a few takers for this contest....but wow. Thorwren and I have been watching this thread all day and have laughed ourselves silly over some of the great names being put out there. You guys and gals have put so much effort into this it is just amazing. It is great to watch the different lines of thinking associated with the names you are all coming up with.
As I was trying to think of up a name on my own I knew I was forming a mental box that was getting hard for me to see past. I knew the solution was to bring it to the masses. Good call on that one! Plus, I am becoming quite knowledgeable about all kinds of bird related things.
We are still running the contest through Sunday...:scared: I will just say that I am glad i am not waiting until Sunday to START reading the thread or I would not get any orders out on Monday...LOL.
I would love to comment on some of the great posts in this thread but I do not want another "where is my quilt" thread popping up so I have to put my hands to other tasks. I will say that the post from Vii with the poem was great. (http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showpost.php?p=362739&postcount=76) We will probably not use "Nevermore" for the name (mostly for marketing reasons) but that poem is going up on our wall...:) (We both love Poe)

3rd submission pushing things to the obscure: Crow's Nidus. Latin related to nest from Indo-Euro base of Nether = down.
Maybe Storm Haven
or.... Storm Cove
I`m glad I read through all of the posts, I think Stormhaven has a certain sound to it.

I'm starting to think this may be harder for you now than it was before you asked for suggestions :)
I'd leave the Burrow line alone. Perfect for a top quilt and you've already got it established.
The Incubator is nice - if you like that I'd stay simple and build off of it. Not sure what the brand recognition is already, but if it's high it's worth keeping it. Dead simple would be the Summer Incubator 3/4, 3-Season Incubator 3/4, and Winter Incubator 3/4. It's simple, says what it is, and you build on something you've already established.
If you want to go completely new, something that is similar sounding, but less "intense cold" sounding. Again - simple rules the day. Summer Insulator, 3-Season Insulator, and Winter Insulator could work.
If you're going to the bird theme, I'd switch all the names to bird themes, but that's a whole other reply :)
Good luck!

I loved reading this entire thread....like Adam ant the Mrs. I got a lot of chuckles out of it.
So far I'm not in the fight--as in not being a Crowsnest owner-yet!
Personally I don't see the issue with CrowsNEST but that's just me.....
So much imagination I don't have but here is my best shot at glory:
Crow-Magnon Yep it'll be called Cro-Mag for short...for the winter model
Crow-Minimus I'd bet we'll call it Cro-Min for short...for the summer model
Crow-Medialis Wooho for Crow-Med (personal reasons HA!)....for the 3/4 s season model
Whatever the HammockGear folks choose, please stick with the Crow theme.
Such an incredible animal, so full of portent, omens, and prestidigitations!
I reflect on a story I read long ago, the principal character caught by her nemesis, affixed to a pole, her hands bound behind her and a Crow slowly pecking her eyes out-she had given her life for the remnant that survived the conflagration....her pain horrible but she knew she had given the gift.
And for you marketing guru's picture the label....the Crow-mag has 3 crows, the Cro-Med has 2 crows and the Crow-min only one....but they are all smiling.

Stormcrow's Nevermore
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary
Of the many cold quaint nights that I've hung before
While I nodded, never napping, from the cold against my backing
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my hammocks door
T'was some cool breeze through my layers, rapping through my hammocks door
Only this, and nothing more
But the Stormcrow, perched snuggly on my under, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing Further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
But the bird said, `Nevermore.'
Nevermore will you hang in the dreary, cold and quaint and needing more
Nevermore will you feel wanting, tossing, turning cold through the core
No, Not with Stormcrows Nevermore
;)Adapted from Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven
Excellent! Just pure genius! Thanks!

You already know this but I like the original name, "CrowsNest" and if you had a vote, I bet it would win... (It could still be a contest, just let your customers decide) If the original name wins, those who chose it, get a fabulous deal on 3 season CrowsNest (Oh I already got one) or an Incubator, (Dang got of those too) or a Burrow (Uh-huh that too). Well you'll just have to come up with something new because ALL of these products are Classic now whether you like it or not. :) :)
Love the story that your "Gorge Rats" gave it the name (Part of the mystique). That name (CrowsNest) was an integral part of your success-destiny momentum. Easy to say, Easy to remember... To change it would interfere a well-deserved perception of quality and product identification.
"Coke" is still "Coke" It just fits....
LOL I love that! You know I think Shug really has something with that. You could call it the Crow Cozy to play it straight for marketing & in the field it would always be the often imitated, never equaled BUTT COZY!!
Summer Crow Cozy
3 Season Crow Cozy
Winter Crow Cozy
Sorry guys, but I suggested the name "Cozy" a while back (post #120) :rolleyes:

That one was just to make Stormcrow and Thorwren giggle as they did some late night sewing and stuffing.....:)

Have not read this all weekend . . .
The WrenFeather
The CrowFeather
The EagleFeather
Or . . . Replace Feather with Down. Sorry, these are probably repeats.
I just cannot see how to beat CrowsNest.
IF you did decide to keep the Crowsnest name, you could then change the model names to:
summer - Crowsnest Trail
3 season - Crowsnest Pass
winter - Crowsnest Mountain
Bird House
Hatch House
Hatcher
Sorry have another idea stormcrow.
Think of weather or temps as danger levels such as defcon's
Summercrow defcon 1
3seasoncrow defcon 2
Wintercrow defcon 3
Or
Hammock diaper
Kidding if course just sounds funny.

I just don't understand this name change requirement thingee "CrowsNest" is good...has been...and will remain so! People just need to identify it in it's entirety and not use "Nest". Besides "CrowsNest" just says it all.
Ok now I will get down from my soapbox and suggest as was earlier suggested (even though I was thinking the same thing, but wasn't first to say it outloud) "Bun Warmer" !!!!!
How about a TAG LINE
Nobody has asked/talked/suggested one . . . So I will . . . :D
Hanging a crowsnest under your Hammock is like,
Lighting a fire under your . . .

they just hang in the sack."

and Shug, end your day by hanging in the the RatSack."

Oh SuperTramp,
to quote Rug "You are disturbing my calm!" :laugh:
We were all having fun helping Adam and Jen and you had to bring the voice of reason to the fire...what's up with that?. :lol:
Here's one:
Hot Potatoe
Hotter Potatoe
Hottest Potatoe
or maybe
Hot Spud
Hotter Spud
The Hottie
Or maybe just "The Taterbin" or "Da Taterbin".
Has anyone mentioned The Womb? Think about it. A Burrow and an Incubator are both warm and cozy places.
Ok BC just inspired another name...
The Quail.
