Haven't read this whole thread so don't know if you've named this pen or not Dan, but how about naming any sequence after iconic British engineers such as Brunel, Stephenson, Telford, Gresley, or famous people from the past, Drake, Nelson, Montgomery?

Having said that a degree of caution would be required, calling one the Barnes Wallis could be counter productive!

Neat to hear from you Neil I would be vitally interested in your views on fountain pens etc.

Kind regards for Christmas.

Peter.

I like consistency. You have named your other pens after letters of the Greek alphabet. Why not just choose another name from that range?

I would be interested in a titanium version. When I ask customers what attributes they want from a pen, lightness is often mentioned.

Not been around much recently, but just seen this. A titanium version would be brilliant if the cost was not excessive.

How about names of early steam locos for British made pens - Salamanca, Locomotion, Rocket etc

you only have to remember what a flop Captain Kirk's lingerie range was though personally I think "Shatner knickers" was doomed from the start :rolling:

Hmmm... Do you think Thatchers bloomers might be worth a thought or too political :winking::whistling:

You'll upset some if you don't mention Sunderland which was granted city status in 1992.
