Looks like a Juniper to me.

swilua.bsky.social•71 days ago

this will be easier when we get polls lol

I built a tool as a work around for polls. https://blueskypolls.xyz if you'd like to try it. Check my profile for more details

It's a little basic, but it's a nice work around until they get an official one:-)

Omi

tcrowley.bsky.social•71 days ago

swilua.bsky.social•71 days ago

Poppy

windowtothesoull.bsky.social•71 days ago

She looks like a poppy 🪻

greenmtgirl.bsky.social•71 days ago

I went for Omi. Mostly I hope she doesn't get named Hammie Mae.

swilua.bsky.social•71 days ago

I feel like that one will happen because it’s the worst and so funniest (and also we live in the worst timeline lol)

greenmtgirl.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yep, I'm resigned to that outcome.

msemmalyon.bsky.social•71 days ago

I went for Juniper based purely on vibes

helenae.bsky.social•71 days ago

I voted for Omi

plunkthepiano.bsky.social•71 days ago

Omi

gerdduerner.bsky.social•71 days ago

I was leaning Hammie Mae, until I read what it stands for. 😬

Team Omi now.

epona668.bsky.social•71 days ago

Omi

kassidyprice.bsky.social•71 days ago

After much debate I voted for Poppy because of the connection to the mother, the likelihood that local children will remember that name because of Trolls, and the vibes

kassidyprice.bsky.social•71 days ago

Second choice was Omi

stenar.net•71 days ago

Omi

I went with Juniper; I like seasonal names and also want to toast her with a gin based cocktail. Team Junie!

My family had one other vote for Juniper, one for Omi and one for Hammie Mae. The Hammie Mae vote came from our bandwagoner, so I predict it will win.
