Flatland names

[ffutures]

I'm working on characters for the Flatland game I'll be running at Dragonmeet and want a few names. All characters will have some knowledge of Forbidden Mathematics and the Third Dimension, so far I have

Rhombus, near-equilateral triangle and immortal (yes, I know the name is all wrong for a triangle) who for various reasons can percieve the third dimension.

Albert Square (name stolen from Stewart's "Flatterland"), narrator of Flatland

Ellery Quin, five-sided detective and mathematician.

I could also use Professor Hex, one of the sample characters in the rules, if I change his stats a little, but I'd prefer someone new. Any suggestions? Preferably names that are funny...

Perry Llelogram?

Certainly a possibility. Thanks!

Tra-la-lapezoid, musician (whatever style works musically for the game).

Bit contrived, but a possibility.

[badger.livejournal.com]

Never mind.

Quatremass, a square scientist?

Like it!

If you're doing detectives, how about Zero Wolfe (totally round) and his sidekick Archie-medes?

Perfectly round is God. Lots of sides, enough to look circular, is a high priest or king. Can't see either as an adventurer interested in heretical geometry, and without Zero Archie doesn't quite work. But thanks for the suggestion - I'll think about it, there may be some way to make it work.

John just came up with a pokemon flat line cross over game - "Pentagon I choose you" and the "Square rangers". I really shouldn't let him watch TV this early in the morning its not good for him!

Oh No its now become "Polygon - Gotta graph 'em all."
Should I hit him over the head now for the good of humanity?

May be for the future... from John

Too obscure for me, I'm afraid.

Set the Square?
A homeless character called Ezium (Tramp Ezium)?
Phil Flood, the painter?
Polly Gone, the escapolgist?

Shall I stop now? I'm not sure they really qualify as funny, more painful really.
