Ladies and gentlemen of NPF, I require your assistance. I am currently working on this:

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/TopHatAssassin/DSC_0001.jpg

Standing at 4'11", this cardboard sword (cardsword, if you will) is meant to be a future prop in my adventuring excursions. I am almost finished putting it together, but it will remain incomplete until I add a crucial piece.

A Name.

Not just any name, but a Name that truly embodies its nature. Something that captures its essence. Preferably something that I can stencil in with Norse runes.

So I come to you, members of this fair community, for suggestions of a Name. What would you call it?

And to include everyone in the discussion, what do you consider when choosing a name for something? It could be anything: your car, a stuffed animal, a prized possession. Anything!

Sorry.

Name the sword "Excaliboard", then make a dagger out of papier mache and call it "Papercuts".

Bokkusu no ken. I just used Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/#en|ja|box%20sword) on the words box sword. Bokkusu no ken is what I get.

I know, I didn't put much thought into it, but still it works.

I must say that I love you all. Your responses, while not what I expected, have been more than wonderful. :D

I should like to address some names that stood out for me:

Excaliboard: A very nice combination, I was intrigued. However, the differences in size between the two require me to strike it down. Excaliboard is a very elegant name. This weapon is not anywhere near elegance.

Excaliboard and Paper Cuts: This is a project to which I shall devote myself in due time. It's too good to pass up.

Recyclable Rage: A green message to complement the red on the battlefield. This one is closer to the mark.

Bitch Be Cool: I like the attitude this one conveys.

Flatlander: I like this one because it's closer to the more serious tone I was going for. Then again, how seriously can you take a weapon made of cardboard? :P

Ragnabox: Even better. Cardboard shall bring about the end times!

If anyone's interested in backstory (or why I made such a monstrousity), the sword is supposed to be disproportionate to humans because it actually belonged to a giant. This giant was then killed in single combat by a member of the nomadic northern tribes. It is now his primary weapon. This is all for an eventual character I will put together in Pathfinder or something.

Yes, I bring props to game.

Psh. Talk to me when you have a real sword and we'll name that shit up.
