Looking for name ideas
#23
I think as others have said, the first block gives the definite feel of a formal garden. Thus, I think any of the names suggested such as English Garden, French Garden, etc. would fit. I think you could easily call it Rhonda's Garden.
I agree that it's both too complex and pretty for a sports themed name. I do think you could do a similar, but simpler, block to go for a sports theme. Perhaps, removing the corner details and adding something else in place.
The second block, my favorite, definitely brings to mind a lovely formal fountain garden such as one might see in a rich desert sheikh's palace. So, I do like the name Moroccan Fountain or Oasis Garden.
Your blocks are beautiful and complicated. You provide challenge to all board members who want to improve their skills!!

I love all of the names, I too am horrible at naming things so won't even try. But I had to laugh! The first thing that sprung into my mind was pac man for block one. Lol, said I was terrible. Rhonda these are great blocks! Look forward to your tute, they are always good.

I'm not sure what I would call the green/yellow block , but I can see butterflies at the corners, just can't come up with a name. For your second block, I think Royal Diadem would be my choice. It makes me think of a jewel in a tiara.

For some unknown reason the words "meet me in the cafeteria" popped into my head for the green and yellow one! I really love both blocks!

We're on the same wavelength! I see the 2 dark half circles in the corners as crab pincers and they are getting ready to "eat" the lighter green one in front of the claws. I also thought of pac man. LOL
