For those of us who appreciated or found interest in this record of fwand’s naming brainstorm:
What were the memorable runners-up for your own troupe’s name? And is there a good origin story for the name you kept?
• Shark Tank was leaning towards Chinese Elevator in the early days. We debuted with the name Kid Skitz, but none of us liked it. Matt Fisher ended up suggesting Shark Tank in an email. I’m not sure how he came up with it.
• there were various factions among Raynard pushing for Team Discovery Channel, Dr. Zaius, and a few others.
In the first scene of our first Harold in our very first rehearsal, Zhubin says to Hallie, “you’ve got a beautiful son.” Hallie, cradling the baby, says “Yes, I love my little Ray…nard.”
We all thought the name was funny. And Raynard grew up over the course of the Harold; the last scene was his Harvard graduation.
We knew that it was the most organic name possible, and so it was settled.
