Default Make Me Smile Why Don't You.....

It's silly, I know, but Life sometimes is just too serious.....? and a while back, I made a couple of life-size Flower Pot People, and they made me smile.

And then I couldn't decide what to call them.
Having enlisted your help then on this lovely forum, my Flobalobs: FERT'n'LIZA were finally and properly christened (thanks to Bubblewrap).

It's a while since then, and now I'm making another two FlowerPot People, and I'd be very grateful if you would help me choose appropriate names for them too.

All I ask is that their names should reflect in some clever way, a garden theme for two.

Good Luck Peeps!

Seeing as though your first two have been m/f, and that the originals were both m - Bill and Ben - you could try Compo n' Peat (or Pete).

If they were mine, judging by the number of weeds that I have in the lawn... they would have to be called Dandy and Lion.

I don't personally see anything wrong with Wellie and Trousers. But you could have Broad'n'Bean, Cabbage'n'White, Trell & Liz...

Oh dear, been sampling too much of the home brewed Chardonnay again sorry

how about

Dutch & hoe
Mizuna & Rocket
Radish & Bean

The choice is so great, some great names - i think Wayne & Wellie would be good, it would remind you of the vine, but you must make the male one really really really tall ha ha ha !! (only jesting Wayne lol)

OMG. Sorry, I'm not witty enough to think of names, but, I love Fert 'n Liza they are so cool! I wish had garden people playing tennis during Wimbledon.
