Name the Candy Corn

Candy Corn doll

Candy Corn needs a proper name and I am asking for help. The less then creative name I am thinking about is Andy. But maybe you the blog reader can do better. Think of a name and post it in the comments section (put some way for me to contact you). If your name is picked you will get a Candy Corn prize package, including all 3 new Candy Corn dolls and a bunch of other fun stuff (value of prize over $50). Each person can suggest up to 3 names. I will decide next weekend and post the winning name on May 18th. And thanks for helping out.

Lil' Candy Corn

What's wrong with Andy? As a kid, others would call me Andy Candy.

My other ideas are: Lamont, Sweets or Hal (short for Halloween).

You could go the alliterative route with Casper or the strangely cannibalistic route with Nibbler or Nibbles.

But I like building on Cheryl G's suggestion and calling him Kernel Candy Corn.

Not to be a kiss ass, but I think Andy is great. It's kind of "obvious." I think for all its creativity in the comic, the "real" imaginary world is actually a very normal place to those within it where its folks have names like Joe and Clem, with the occasional Shaky (in NJ we have people called "the Nose" and stuff like that, so it makes sense). No real wordplay or overt cleverness is needed. Just like a circle of friends in the real world. Our day to day lives may be fun or clever and ironic, but 99% the guys I know have standard issue names like “John” and “Mike.” He looks like an Andy – happens to be candy. Makes total sense.

He looks like a bit like a traffic cone. You could call him Coney Andy Corn, or just Coney or Coney Andy.
