AI Thread Summary
A user received a small pumpkin for their birthday and sought suggestions for a name in a non-English language. They initially considered "tiny pumpkin" and later settled on "Garnet," inspired by the orange color of garnets. Other name suggestions included "Abobora minuscula" in Portuguese, "Winzig Kurbis" in German, "Ochyen Malenkaya Teekva" and "Kroshechnaya Teekva" in Russian, and "Tout Petit Potiron" in French. The user expressed a desire to keep the pumpkin as it is, without decorations, and considered bringing it to school, although they were cautioned about potential damage. The discussion also included playful suggestions for names like "Chota Kaddu" in Urdu and light-hearted comments about the pumpkin's significance.

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.

Abobora minuscula

(Portugese)
 
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.
 
In German:

Winzig Kurbis

(with an umlaut over the "u").
 
In Russian:

Ochyen Malenkaya Teekva

or

Kroshechnaya Teekva.
 
In French:

Tout Petit Potiron.
 
name...pumpkin...?
 
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.

Is kaddu pumpkin? Little Kaddu would be a nice nickname.

Is that a better word for it? I was just looking everything up in the dictionary.
