we rolled out a new mascot this week. which can be seen in the HHC recruitment thread and the "proto" name for this guy is "pumpkinhead"

my intention is to make this guy similar to eddie the head from iron maiden

so we need some suggestions of cool non offensive names for a "russian pumpkin headed cossack"

i am also looking for volunteer artists to help design his look you can either reply in this thread or get in contact with me directly


here is a link to the basic idea

Considering the fact that in Russian a "Pumpkin head" means idiot, fool, block-head, numb-skull...

Also, In Russian "Pumpkin" is translated as "Tыква", which sounds very similar to "D*ckwad". :P

Good luck, I'll try to think of something meanwhile.

Since it is a Cossack mascot how about naming him Atamanchik--little ataman? (Aтаманчик)
It is a known Russian nick name that is not offensive.
