To Cee or not to Cee that is the question

Following the cease and desist order we received from your trusted #1 source for Christian news satire, the Cee quickly ran a “new name competition” to prevent any unpleasant consequences us pretty writers would receive in jail.

The best (mostly alliteration) entries were as follows:

• The Satirical Squirrel
• The Satirical Saint
• The Awkward Apostle
• The Parody Pea
• The Bethel Badger
• The Persian Parrot
• The Persian Praying Mantis
• The Jerusalem Jaguar
• The Nineveh Knee
• Balaam’s Donkey or Balaam’s *ahem*

A special shout-out to the entry from the Jewish Sean Connery: Shofar Shogood.

A number of other entries were good but the spelling would’ve caused even more problems to our socially challenged trolls:

• The Psalty Sea
• The Nazareth Narwhal
• Nebuchadnezzar’s News
• The Salty Sadducee
• The Samarian Salamander
• The Amorite Aphid
• The Chaldean Cricket
• The Macedonian Muse
• The Megiddo mosquito
• The Philippian Flea
• The Satiricat
• The Good Satirican
• Sampson’s Hairytales

Some excellent but rather long names were:

• The artist formally known as the Babylon CEE
  
• The Overwhelming Never-ending Reckless News of God
• The Leaning Tower of Babel

And I genuinely have no idea why I laughed at the suggestion – The Bethelehem Goat.  But I did.  Sorry about that.

A number of other entrants were optimistic that The Babylon Bee would approve the following because of a one word difference:

• The Babylon Honey Bee
• The Babylon Butterfly
• The Babylon Wasp
• The Babble on Bee
• The Babylon BLT
• Not the Babylon Bee
• The Babylon Dee

Special shout out to JasonP479 who pointed out how historically Christians have fallen out over even one letter: homoousios and homoiousios.  So it appears the Bee were really rather gracious.

And methinks the people who submitted the following used a synonym generator on you know who:

• The Persian Pollinator
• The Chaldean Wasp

And then we had the clever plays on our current name – we’re not sure whether we’d sue ourselves for infringement though:

• The Salty Cee
• The Satirical Cee
• The Macedonian Cee
• The Nolybab Eec (it’s the Babylon Cee backwards, in case you were wondering)
  
• The BabyCyclon Cee (for Battlestar Galatica fans)
  
• Babylon Ceased (The new name if we didn’t change our current name fast enough)
• The Babble On…See

Finally, there were various entries that seemed to imply that we were actually a news website….

• Breaking Faith News
• Jesus Juke Journal
• Evangelical Examiner
• The Gilead Gazette
• The Patmos Post
• The Roman Reporter
• The Ninevah News
• The Nazarene Noise
• The Canaan Kindling
• The Tarsus Times
• The Disciples Dispatch
• Almost News Network

We’ll hopefully announce the new name by the end of the weekend and have the new website out by the end of next week.
