The nomination and voting of the name (and namespace) will be left to the community. You can nominate names below until December 15th, 2010. Voting will begin on December 16th and will run until December 31st, 2010.

1. Arzhahm Bowl - Awesome Bowl...in zamglish. ~ 03:02, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
2. Barhah Bowl - this suggestion was brought to you by Bleeding Obvious Inc. in conjunction with ~~ Chief Seagull ~~ ^talk 21:32, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

   Oh believe me, Barhah Bowl was the first one I thought of.~ 01:19, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

   I realize voting is over but I'd like to add my optional comment in support of the obvious best choice. ;) --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:35, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

   Actually voting hasn't begun yet but I think that's what you meant. Comments are welcome before voting, though. Barhah Bowl is definitely going to be a top pick. Maybe a real contender will come along in the next two weeks and give it a run for its money. ~ 05:06, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

3. Bowlhah - just trying to mix it up. Yeah it know it sucks. No reason why you couldn't have both a survivor term and a zambah term? -- LEMON #1 00:41, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
4. Banana Bowl - Get yer mind outta the gutter. ~ 01:19, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
5. Zabarbarr - This was Misanthropy's suggestion before I decided to open nominations. Since he hasn't nominated it, I'm doing it for him. ~ 17:55, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
6. Zabar Bowl - Obvious Mis derivative. -MHSstaff 18:00, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
7. Corruption - From the word 'defile'. Also, it sounds kind of bad-ass or cool or whatever. Another one is Zambahrama, but it'd probably fit some other event better. Just thought I'd make a suggestion. -- †  talk ? f.u. 14:07, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

   hmmmm... should I add the word 'ball' or 'bowl' in it? just realized mine's the only suggestion without either of those so far.--Thanatologist 16:42, 10 December 2010 (UTC)~

   Ok just edit your above nahmination before December 15th if you want to change it up. I planned on submitting both of your entires in voting when it opens. ~ 18:19, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

   Nah, I'll keep them as is, I suppose. They sound better that way. --Thanatologist 22:19, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

8. Zambahrama - see above - ~ 16:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
9. Super Monkey Bowl = Super Bowl + Super Monkey Ball --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 21:15, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
10. Zarz Ball - In honour of the commercial campaign that has brought us the recent influx of players. - Pardus 04:13, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

    Not really. Population didn't increase at all. I've kept track of the population during Sears' promotional campaign. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 23:41, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

1. Arzhahm Bowl

1. Because I'm The (Undead) Miz, and I'm ARZHAHM! ~~ Chief Seagull ~~ ^talk 09:36, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
2. Neither incorrect zamgrh (Zabar and Zabarbarr end in R) nor falsely claiming to have barhah. --VVV ^RPMBG 20:18, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

2. Barhah Bowl

1. - I just love the way it sounds - ~ 18:07, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

After some deliberation, I am striking my vote. Though I love the name, I agree that Zombieball does not exhibit high levels of Barhah since it is a Survivor/Zombie cooperative sport. ~ 21:46, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

1. - definitely my favorite --surfincow ^U 07:22, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
2. - This is the only one that will receive votes from someone other than the suggester.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 11:35, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
3. - The only logical choice--E Gadus 13:32, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

   i like the way it sounds too, but I think barhah bowl would fit better in a kill-everyone type of game. (Note: this is not directed specifically at E Gadus, but at the nahmination) --Thanatologist 04:51, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

   I agree. This sport doesn't have a particularly high level of barhah, so it shouldn't have a name that implies otherwise. --VVV ^RPMBG 07:06, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

   I know, I just suggested it because it was so obvious. ~~ Chief Seagull ~~ ^talk 12:19, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

   True. --Thanatologist 01:02, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

4. - this is the funnest to say--Survivor 2.0 00:57, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

3. Bowlhah

1. Voting for yourself is lame, I know. But seriously, as shit as it sounds it just rolls off the tongue so much too my liking I couldn't bear to vote for anything else. -- LEMON #1 03:24, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

4. Banana Bowl

1. Where have you put your fruit? In the BANANA BOWL!--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:49, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

5. Zabarbarr

1. Oh aye. 16:50, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

6. Zabar Bowl

1. - I'd vote for my own, but it sounds too serious. This fits better. --  †  talk ? f.u. 03:10, 17 December 2010 (UTC) || 12:13, 19 December 2010 (UTC) Edit: Maybe add an 'h' at the end? (to make it more zamgrh-correct as per Triple U's comment above) -- Thanatologist

   If either of these wins voting, I would likely correct them to proper Zamgrh since Trips pointed it out. If anybody would like to vote differently, you would be voting for Zabarh Bowl and Zabarhbarhh (I think that's right) respectively. ~ 03:08, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

   I just remembered. Vapor, could you do the same thing to the zambahrama too? -- Thanatologist 14:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

   Sure. If Zambahrama wins voting then I will correct it to Zambahramah. ~ 14:58, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

2. - I'm voting Zabarh Bowl. ~ 21:46, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

7. Corruption

1. --VVV ^RPMBG 23:21, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

8. Zambahrama

1. Me like. Mainly because it's actually perfectly rattle-able. ZAMB-A-RAMAH!-- Spiderzed▋ 20:25, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
2. a zombie said "Zam razhnz az Zbagharzagz-zam zag"

   a zombie gestured at a zombie

   a zombie said "ZAMB-A-RAMAH!!" ~m ^T! 21:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

9. Super Monkey Bowl

1. I vouch for my own nomination. Now where did I put those bananas? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 19:04, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

   Check the Banana Bowl? ~ 19:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Results

With a total of four votes, the winner and name of the inaugural game of Zombieball is Barhah Bowl. Thanks to all who submitted nahminations and to those who voted. The new namespace will be Zombieball/Barhah Bowl. I'll get started on the page just as soon as I'm sober enough. Happy New Year to all. ~ 00:05, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
