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.

Jerry, or Jerome.

Still, by the way, enjoying your creative output, Dan!
Thanks again for your fine work.
All the best,
M
Dan,
How about
Cornelius Corn
Captain Corn
Colonel Corn
Cheryl G in apple valley
Benny
Corn Chewy!
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).
King Corn
Clark Corn
Creamy Corn
!!!
Frucky Fructose!
The Widowmaker!
Maynard Maize!
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.
Danny
Chewy
Tre ('cause of his three colors, of course...)
Horny (sorta kidding...only sorta)
I have always liked CRON.
And to play off jedblau's:
Tres Corny. [geddit?]
Carl
Raymond/Ray
Chuck
mmm....and now I want some candy corn, heh.
Ceecee or C.C.
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.
1. Carney
Maizey (since Maisy is already taken by the mouse) - or are you 100% set on Candy Corn being a male?
Yellow Five
Red Forty
maize
Kernal Sanders (Sandy for short)
Doc Cranny (an anagram of candy corn)
Can-Do the Candy Corn (he's an optimist)
wow - thanks everyone - you guys have alot of great ideas (and a few wonderfully crazy ones too)
i don't know, when i see him i'm thinking something European...
Pierot/Pierrot (because of the pointy head)
Johan
Stanislaus
"Stanislaus The Forlorn,
Just a piece a' Candy Corn,..."
He looks like a bit like a traffic cone. You could call him Coney Andy Corn, or just Coney or Coney Andy.
Chicha (that sweet purplely drink you get in South American restaurants)
Tamale
or on a completely different tangent
Holly (for Halloween)
Charles Andrew Corn, but he goes by a diminutive of his middle name:
C. "Andy" Corn.
Sir Dandy Andy Corn
Kavity Korn
Bo Amaizing
(1) Neo (short for Neopolitan) Corn.
(2) Chilly Corn Carni.
(3) A. "Mighty Oak" Corn
Jim Rash.
Dan, you've got me champing at the bit for the $50 Candy Corn Prize Package!
1) George the Candy Corn (named after the inventor of candy corn, George Renniger)
2) Renniger the Candy Corn (a more sophisticated name)
3) Isosceles the Candy Corn (he's perfectly shaped like the triangle)
Thank you!
