I got a small pumpkin for my birthday today. I can't think of a name, however. It's about four inches tall and wide and has about a 1.5 inch stem. It's very orange.

I want to name it "tiny pumpkin" in a non-english language, preferably one I can pronounce (it uses mostly sounds found in english, though I can replicate other sounds fairly well).

So, any suggestions?

Edit: Nevermind, I picked out a name.

Oh, hi. I didn't think anyone was going to bother (I'm a bit impatient, sorry). One of my friends suggested Garnet. I've decided to go with it, since garnets can be orange.

Thanks anyway, though.

I just spent my 17th birthday mostly alone. I got a pumpkin, so I'm naming it.

Pumpkins are cool. I have one. I don't name them though. I just call it "pumpkin".

Are you planning on decorating it for halloween?

Nope, no decoration. I like it as it is. I'll probably bring it to school with me, though. I might give it jewelry or something, though. I don't have any, but I have a lot of female friends, so I imagine I can obtain some. I'd send a picture, but I'm sorely lacking in any way of doing so.

I don't think it'll be a good idea to take the pumpkin to school. After all, what if it gets dropped on the floor?

Hmm, you may have a point. I don't want anything to damage Garnet. Garnet's very small, though.
