The voting has ended. (Or rather, I'm going to be submitting names after this is posted, so any further votes won't count.) The results are here:
http://www.livejournal.com/poll/?id=1119685&mode=results

Picking the arbitrary number of 30, I'll submit the names that had more than 30 votes. So these are our entries:

Dylan Longwood (66 votes)
Captain Caliente (50 votes)
Dylan Wood (42 votes)
Knob Barker (32 votes)

Under the cut are other submissions. I couldn't find the missing entries, alas, but I'll keeping poking at Gmail to see if it offers up anything. If there are names that people really want to submit in this list, I'm game for that: I just didn't want to flood the poll with too make "jokey" names.

The poll and the rules are here:

I'll remind you guys, though, to only vote for two names, please. Voting for most or all of them negates the point of having a vote in the first place.

I have a late class tomorrow, so I'll send the winners in to LKH and Co. on Thursday. By request, I'll post the names that didn't make the poll in the next few days; I seem to have misplaced a few entries (i.e., they aren't in the Gmail folder where they ought to be), so I'd like to do one last search for them before I post the other contenders.

Time for voting! (~~Yay for clicky boxes!~~) This is a shortened list of all the names that came in, because a lot were standard stripper names, and like I said, I didn't want to try making a poll with 200+ names in it. I figured if my eyes didn't glaze over, yours would.

Rules:
1) Voting closes on January 16. This gives me enough time to get my ass in gear and submit the chosen names, with a bit of time to spare.
2) Please vote for your TWO favourites. Depending on how the numbers end up, we'll submit between 3 and 5 names.
3) The names are in no particular order.

* = The name "Dylan" was submitted quite often, either as a standalone or as Dylan Wood or Dylan Longwood. That's why all the permutations are up there.

So far, the charity idea is quite popular. Of course, we'd have to win first for it even to become an issue, but we'll deal with that if/when the time comes. If not, we can try to come up with another challenge that would allow us to donate to a charity.

(NB: It's been a while since I've made a poll. If I screwed it up, just let me know and I'll fix things up.)

[Poll #1119685]

The main details for the challenge can be found at the links below:

http://community.livejournal.com/lkh_lashouts/328119.html

But, since some people still don't seem to get it, I'll reiterate: Only names which are sent to the address will be included in the poll! The comments from posts I make here go to my personal address, not the community one, so names in the comments do not count.

Also, if you're sending a lot of names, please indicate which are your favourites. It's great to have lots of variety, but I don't want to try making an LJ poll with 384 names in it.

Some reminders, though:

1) Our deadline is January 10. LKH's is the 18th, so I want to have time to get the names up for a poll, have voting, etc. So hurry and get your ideas in!

2) Only names submitted by email will be counted! I know people have been discussing names in the comments and that's fine, but I'm not going to go through all the threads to pick out the names. If you want your idea to count, you have to send it in.

3) Please send your best/favourite choices. It's good to have a wide selection (no pun intended), but some people have sent in lists with 50 names or more, and I don't want to try to make an LJ poll with over 200 options. So send in your best/favourite ideas, and keep other ones on hand, because I have an idea for a related challenge.

From what I've seen, most people are in favour of a charity auction, which I'm definitely cool with. I'd need help setting up an eBay auction, but I'm sure we have some members who are good at that. Of course, we have to win first, right?

Our deadline is unfortunately close, forced by LKH's own deadline, but c'est la vie. As stated in the blog, LKH, creative goddess that she is, can't think of a good stripper/stage name for Jason. So she's holding a contest. Yippee! (Or, in her words, yea!)

Thus, the challenge here is the same: give Jason a stripper name. Use a meme formula or an online generator or your brain, whatever you like.

How to play along: Send your submissions to lkh.lashoutsATgmail.com. Please send ONE EMAIL ONLY: unlike LKH, I don't want to drown in email. So wait until you have all your names ready, then send them off.

Deadline: January 10, 2008. I know it's close, but she's set a deadline of the 18th, and we need time for voting. Voting, you say? Aye. I'll gather up all the names, make a poll, and we'll have a group vote for which to submit.

What'll we do with the book if we win?: Again, we'll have a group vote. Destroy it? Sell it on eBay and donate the money to Alzheimer's research to benefit a real author, the mighty Terry Pratchett? If you have suggestions, pass those along too.

Who will submit the ideas to LKH and Co.? Ah, more fun! I'll use my address and one of my emails, since they already have my address anyway. But if you have a fun idea for a pseudonym, send that along with your submission. Or we could always send it via LKH_Lashouts, just so she feels some love. Again, suggestions in this area are welcome.

Warning notice of DOOM!: Please submit ideas ONLY if you are willing to share. I will not look kindly on anyone who submits a name then, if their name wins, goes "Oh, it was totally my name that won! I should get the book!" NO. Doesn't fly. If you legitimately want the book, enter on your own. If you're willing to have a bit of fun with the group, enter with us. Nuff said.

This post was hasty, so if I've forgotten anything, let me know.
