*resists the urge to name him Sparkie...*

Let's see.. I can think of a few cute names for him, Ray, Glint, Glim, or Blaze.. all of which mean, or have something to do with Light

If I think of anymore, I'll post them. Your mascot is awfully cute!

Well, I kinda like Zippy, Zwiggy, Bulby, Shiner, Fil(ament), Daylight Diva, Wicky, Zablo. Okay, this is harder than I thought.

Well, if I win, and I doubt it, then email me at netfoundry@aol.com or you can just give me a pity prize. :0

I think the catchiest name......BILLY BULB.... Hope it clicks...

[gartil]

What a cute mascot. If I were to name him I would call him "Lil' Cosmo"

[CajunBlu]

Since the site is named HTMLforums, I'll suggest "Tex" (for Hypertext) or "Hy" (for Hypertext). Since he's a lightbulb, I'll also suggest "Sparks".

[freejavahelp]

Haha, how about something that has nothing to do with the mascot?

DING DONG!

hrmmmmmm....maybe a little more on target

Electric Steve

Hehe, email me at jim@freejavahelp.com if I win (rrrrrriiiiiiiiiiggggggggghhttttttttt)

Heh...this is one of the cutest contests!
How about:

L'eye't ("light"..for the eye...maybe not ;)

The Winner is Aspen for his submission "EDISON". Believe it or not edison is actually the name originally submitted by the artist as wel, although I was pulling for Flicker myself. However the people have spoken! Aspen, you left no contact info, so I can't get in touch with you to give you your prize! If you read this, please get in contact with me no later than Oct. 31, 2000 to claim your award!
