How about the "Indiana"

I don't think anyone can copyright a state name...

Since the real hat was an HJ "Poet", how about the calling it the TC "Artist".

Indiana Jeff wrote:"the raider" might seem cliched to us, but for Todd to reach the general public I think that's his best bet.Regards,Indiana Jeff
A major consideration. I can't get too clever with "inside" names that only mean something to Indiana Jones nerds like us.

I do like "The Indiana". There would be a big SEO advantage to that name.

To me, "archaeologist" conjures up an image of an old british guy in a pith helmet and safari jacket. But that's probably just me.

Hey, thanks. My marketing professors would be so pleased I paid attention in class. ;)

I do like 'The Indiana' as an option. Going this route might get you higher on google searches for 'Indiana Jones hat' too.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

The 'Raider' is probably the best bet.
Looking forward to seeing it!

The Indiana Hoosier?

Just call it The Raider. You know you're going to anyway! ;)

Personally, I don't mind if you call it "Sally". I just can't wait to see it (and probably buy it).

Todd's Probably saying, "there are more letters in Archaeologist then Raiders, I'll have to increase the price by $2.00." :)

:-k

Y'know, I have to admit a certain affection I have for this idea (despite the fact that I wouldn't expect it to fly *cough*LEGAL ISSUES!*cough*cough*) for the simple reason that it would be pretty cool to "re-claim" (so-to-speak) the idea of Indy being the "original" tomb raider and to do so by having a fedora that looks the part and associating it with the name otherwise linked with the Video Game/movie character that was so very inspired by our Dr. Jones...
;) :tup:

It might never happen, RB... but "hats off" to Indy raiding tombs (and the tradition of the many earlier "tomb raiders" in whose footsteps he followed) for years before the idea of Ms. Croft ever occured to anyone.
:TOH:

(Hey, maybe one day Todd could source a hat that looks like the one Howard Carter used to wear and call THAT one "The Tomb Raider!")

Thanks y'all for the input. I really like some of the suggestions here. I "tested" some names on the family this morning and their reaction was swift and unanimous. I admit I'm torn, because it wan't the name I was favoring.

I'm going to be devious here and let you find out the name the fun way:

I'll also post this in vendor announcements because that's probably where the discussion should be continued - am I right?

Yep. :TOH:

I'll go ahead and lock this, as it appears you've come to your decision.
