So remember when I told you the story of the transit strike? And I made that random comment about wanting the crocheted snail? Well dreams do come true!
Thanks to a group effort by readers Dave S. and Gina, along with the help of a fellow crocheter in Texas, I now have a crocheted snail of my very own! It’s just as cute and wonderful as I had hoped! Now all I need is a name for it. Please leave your suggestions in the comment section! (Please ignore the bags under my eyes. I had a really long day when I took that picture, and I gave my airbrusher the day off.)
UPDATE: I took this picture and wrote this post last night. I must have been delirious at the time because who in their right mind would post this picture of themselves? Please focus on the adorable crocheted snail.

Too cute! You have nice friends/readers. As for a name … hm? Pokey the One-Footed Oozer of Mucousy Slime? How’s that?
Sam (S) Cargo?
Gus Stropod?
Either Rex or Fido. How does he get along with your stuffed dinosaur?
Gus T. Ropod
Damn! Someone already suggested that one!
Speedy!
Sheldon!
Argyle
Ya know, when I first read this, I thought you said “crotched snail”…made me wonder….
So i suggest: Crotchy.
HUGS…
When I saw the headline in my feed, I thought we were getting a jean-less crotch shot. A crocheted snail is only a slight let-down. :-p
Are you telling me that the bags under my eyes aren’t as hot as a jean-less crotch shot? Jeez. No wonder I can’t get a date!
Adonis.
Though Colleen’s Argyle is pretty damn clever.
Um I think Delmer Von Awesome is a good name. And I think you look cute with sleepy eyes. But if you want to send me the pic I can airbrush it for you. It’s what I do for a living. You’ll look like Mariah Carey when I’m done.
i’m thinking Horatio…
I don’t think I could do Horatio. David Caruso on CSI Miami ruined that name for me.
Dude, did you really crochet that? Because I’ve been crocheting all my life and I wouldn’t be able to do that. That’s crazy talk.
Name him Armando. I don’t know why.
i’m going to suggest Warren or Squigby. or Benedetto.
Wigglesworth
That’s adorable! How ’bout Dolittle in honor of the Giant snail even if it’s not pink.
Dreams do come true–ha, ha, ha! I think it’s name should be silver trail, as in that crap they leave behind them.
Gus.
btw, a friendly reminder that you are too young to be touching up photos of yourself, Mr.
Name him Cochleus, Latin for snail, cause I know how much you love Latin.
What about Dartagnan. I’ve always liked that name.
I’m going to throw my vote for Argyle, but I kind of like the name Trojan, since the snail reminds me of something that once unraveled means good times are coming….
I would go for Spiffy!
Slugger.
hahaha slugger. That’s awesome.
there’s people out there who’d kill for lips like yours
Well, being a nerd, I often name things after my favorite literary characters… So I’d say maybe “Kwan” (Amy Tan) or “Milkman” (Toni Morrison) or “Garp” (John Irving) or maybe something real simple like “Princess Consuela” or “Kate Winslet.”
I like Garp.
Escargot.
How about Esfor?
J x
Fred. Or Fredricka.
Name him Gary like the snail from Spongebob. He looks like a Gary.
Gary?
Rover?
Good one Robbert, I’d go with escargot
I initially thought Simon, but I have to say, Argyle is pretty appropriate and cute.
BUTCH!
Whoops! Sorry, David, I didn’t realize you’d already suggested S. Cargo.
Since snails are hermaphrodites, how about Jan, or Leslie? Sydney? Gene?
Eggopher
or
Clutch Cargo
Like the snail, you are still cute.
BTW, you should add The Orphange to your Netflix queue if you haven’t seen it yet.
I gotta throw my vote in for Argyle.
So what name won?!
My choice, Garp?!
Tell Me What a Dork I Am!
