Comments welcome, along with ad suggestions---we are always looking for ideas!!!

Thanks for looking and commenting!!

Very nice pens, I would go with Atraxi.
Atraxes sounds like a dinosaur.
Btw, your job sounds terrible, making pens and selling blanks.:biggrin::biggrin:

 

[Brooks803]

Don't you just hate it when "work" get's in the way of your "job" :tongue:

They look great Ed. Keep'em coming!

 

[bobjackson]

Both look great. You do still turn pens. Atraxi is my vote.

 

[longbeard]

Atraxi for me
Atraxes sounds like your saying 8-tracks, tellin my age now.

 

[boxerman]

2 very nice pens Ed.

 

[Carl Fisher]

I think the multiple of Atrax in this instance is Atrax.

 

[ed4copies]

I think the multiple of Atrax in this instance is Atrax.

Definitely too simple an answer, Carl!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

[Buzzzz4]

Looking good Ed. Not quite sure on that fit :wink:, but the finish looks great!
I'd go with Attracts, as that is what they do to the eye.

 

[Sataro]

Two very nice looking pens... Atraxi...

 

[Kretzky]

I think the multiple of Atrax in this instance is Atrax.

I agree with Carl... for me it's one of those words where singular & plural are the same, anything else sounds kinda wierd,
Atrax pen, Atrax pens.
whatever you call them they're pretty looking pens!

[Bowl Slinger]

Those are gorgeous!

 

[rizaydog]

Very nice pens.

 

[Carl Fisher]

Atraxtive
Coming Atraxtions

:biggrin:

 

[brownsfn2]

They look great Ed! I also agree with Carl and when you use it in a sentence it makes sense. "I saw a herd of Atrax on my way to the office today!"

Well Ed, since it is a name not unlike sierra, it depends a little on how it is used. If you think people will use Atrax as a proper name and say Atrax pens...no change in the word at all.

If you think people will use Atrax as an ordinary noun rather than a proper name (as happened with Sierra, whichI doubt that you want) so that the item itself becomes an atrax rather than a pen, multiple items will be whatever the buyers use. I think that would be atrax - same word singular or plural.

I personally think Atraxi sounds like a different name rather than a plural and folks would start using Atraxis or Atraxice (like di/dice) to denote the plural.

 

[Jjartwood]

I'd go with Atrax, as long as their side by each,just preface them with "dose" as in
Put dose Atrax dare,side by each,you.
Both my grandparents were Canadian so grammar was not my strong suit,but it come in handy now and again being bilingual,no?

 

[drgoretex]

Atraxi for me
Atraxes sounds like your saying 8-tracks, tellin my age now.

Dang. You beat me to this joke

Those pens are beautiful!

 

[mpmopc]

Very nice pens. Atrax Phil

 

[Jjartwood]

Does not matter,A well turned pen ( like the above ) speak for themselves.
You can call them Ed's mystery kit and people will want them.
Which brings up a good point,Where does it say it has to be called Atrax?
Atrax does sound cool though, But basically it is a time proven communication device that
functions during Disaster power outages,

Both are great Ed! I would go with Atraxomi a la hippopotami.

 

[Smitty37]

Both are great Ed! I would go with Atraxomi a la hippopotami.

That would be great if it were Atraxomus a la hippopotamus....:biggrin:

I think you should start carrying this "kit" and call it the Atraxomus. That would be awesome!
