So, I just got a book, The Hidden Truth of Your Name, and apparently there are certain botanicals associated with a person's name, usually just three. It got me to thinking about making brews specifically for a person based on the botanicals associated with their names. For example, my name's Sean and the botanicals associated with Sean are Beetroot, Lungwort, and Strawberry. Now, it doesn't sound too great, but it might not be that bad.

What do you guys think, and what would be the best way to go about doing this?

Also, there's about 700 names in the book, so if you'd like to know what your botanicals are, I can likely tell you.

If this turns out to be not so bad, I'll start making brews for my friends. I can't wait to get to Amber's. Her botanicals are Cherry, Dandelion, and Strawberry.

HMMMM. I'm curious what my "botanicals" are...

RYAN

You got that name in your book?

How about

TINA or CHRISTINA???

or

VIOLET??

 

[DeathBrewer]

Interesting idea. Hit me up for "Benjamin"

 

[JustDave]

How about "Dave" or "David"?

Or "Leana"?

 

[talleymonster]

I think we might learn everybody's real names in this thread.

[Bernie Brewer]

Please

 

[Crazytwoknobs]

I'm not sure if this is spam. Doesn't look to be a bot and there's no linky.
Just for laughs, I added a poll.

 

[Ryanh1801]

yes....................

 

[JustDave]

When I first read this, I thought spam ... but there was no link to the book so I thought it was legit.

So if it is spam, it's not very good spam

This poll should be:

Is it gay to know the botanical association for your name? The choices could be "manly", "metrosexual", "gay", or "flamer"!

If you're comfortable with your sexuality, there's no threat.

 

[the_bird]

I don't know if this is spam or not, but it is WAY too touchy-feeley, new-agey for me.

Cheese is right, BTW.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Hmmm never thought of spam on this one. Doesn't seem to be selling anything, so I dunno.......

I was thinking the same thing. For a first post I've got to wonder.

He's a sleeper spammer.

Maybe the OP likes the concept of spamming but doesn't want any commercial gain from it. A "soul spammer" as it were.

 

[WOP31]

I said spam, but if not let me know what the botanicals for ABDULKAREEM are.
Thanks


Cheers

lol Not spam, just a sleepy OP. Here's what I got from the names given:

Benjamin - Caraway, Marjoram, Oats, Parsley
Christina - Lettuce, Cucumber, Plantain
Dave - Marjoram, Parsley, Haze, Oats
David - Sage, Spinach, Medlar
Doug - Plantain, Lettuce, Cabbage, Chicory
Douglas - Blackberry, Elder, Juniper, Hops
Evan - Dog rose, Violets, Almonds, Walnuts
Leana - Not in the book, sorry.
Ryan - Sage, Spinach, Iceland Moss
Tina - Marsh Mallow, Pilewort, Ragwort
Violet - Colewort, Plantain, Cabbage

I don't know whether I should go by birth name or the most commonly used name for the person. My father's birth name is David, but everyone calls him Dave. Also, different botanicals are listed for different spellings of the same name.

 

[Orfy]

Who makes this stuff up?

Doesn't a medlar look like a dogs *******?

Is Brewer your family name or is it a married name?

 

[DeathBrewer]

it's pretty silly, but it would be fun if everyone made brews with this crap to see how bad they come out

Caraway, Marjoram, Oats, Parsley

the only thing i'd be concerned about with mine is the parsley

 

[Orfy]

I think mine will be worse!
Dogs ass Ale!!!
