What say we call him "MrExcel"!

Or, MrExcel II, affectionately known as "Junior" or "Jr." for short....?

 

[Duane]

OR,

We could call him "Cody" (as in "likes to write code").

"Cody the Excel guy"....it has appeal!

Axel

or

Alexis

for all the Excel Gals!

 

[Anne Troy]

Yeah, Bill. What about that? Does it HAVE to be the XL GUY?? Can't it be the XL GIRL??

 

[Tom Urtis]

How about "X-Pert" or "Ex-pert", which has a number of positive & relevant connotations when parsed. To make my case:

"X" - relevant to the shape of the logo.

"Pert" - as defined by my Random House unabridged dictionary: "boldly forward in speech or behavior; chic and stylish; lively; spritely; clever".

"Expert" - a complimentary adjective, especially relevant in that so many MrExcel board regulars could qualify as Excel experts in my opinion.

Also, "X-Pert" is not gender specific, so it could refer to a male or female.

So, any opinions from the gallery?

 

[RichardS]

Alternative definition of Expert.
X is an unknown quantity, a spurt is a drip under pressure.

What about simply BJ ?

I rather like the name Little Willy.

I'm sure it wouldn't be long before lots of people got to know about Bill Jelen's Little Willy.
