As much as I think Yorick would be hilarious, the Vanguard chose Samantha for a reason. But Yorick would be a name all its own, like John. As far as we know, the first time the Vanguard heard it was just now as “alas poor Yorick.” I’m torn.

I'm going to borrow from Ren's contribution to the poll chat: "So, Arthur just named the Owl Alexander after Oscar. And we know Arthur remembers Noel saying the line about Hamlet. So if we name the skull Yorick, Arthur will have immediately named the first two things he could after his absent friends"

Sam

My name is an option and it's both funny and weird 😅

Yorick is a very fun choice for the name, and in Hamlet, he's a reminder of death, memento mori, but also a jester. I feel like that name is a setup for something we might not want.

It's worth noting for anyone hanging on the names have power thing like I am. Samantha means 'God has heard'. And Yorick while not having a direct known translation is believed to be closest to Eric which means 'Forever ruler' more or less. But in this case Yorick being a Shakespeare reference to a Jester beloved by Hamlet

Okay so it might seem like I'm voting Yorick for the memes, but a) let the boys have a little silliness between the horrors, b) names have power and it's the only name not connected to an existing irl person/being so it's a blank slate, and c) free Shakespeare 101 class for John, which I think would be good enrichment for an entity fond of poetry and music and movies and theatre.

I just hope Samantha doesn't win, as it's my deadname and it sucks to hear it. Choose Yorick support your local Cana

if names are important, I'd be interested to see how calling it the prince affects things.

I would have preferred a “Billy Buckwheat” or “HR Puffnstuff” option myself.

Alas poor Yorick, I knew him well

Dribble the head like a soccer ball and presto — Yorick rolling. It's quite literally a bit on the nose.
