@Varmilo,

I really like the dyesub setup of your new product and many of the product photos look good.
BUT... please, in the last 2 photos, the most eye-catching thing for me is the obnoxious unrestrained application of the hot-gun glue, or some form of glue. Even some white color molding clay (instead of those) will make my eyes for comfortable...

By the way, nice figurine ;)

Thanks for your comments.
The final product will be no the hot-gun glue. We are hastily showing the photos here just for a name. We really appreciate that if you can give a name for the figurine.

Hopefully we can get more comments from you, our dear friends.This can help us improve. ;)

Thanks again.

I would suggest Nasitra.

The reason is that it is an exact anagram of Artisan (i.e. the same word read the other way round),
thus reflecting that the figurine follows the same rules as the usual artisan keycaps, yet with the inverse motivation:
instead of the sempiternal ferocious faces grimly showing teeth
you have a nice female figure, of course pink, with flowers, big eyes, long hair and an innocent smile.

If Nasitra sounds a bit… a bit …, well, not girlish enough, how about Cliché? :lol:

Ok, someone has to suggest it: Boaty McBoatface, simply because you're asking the internet for a name and I didn't feel comfortable with the other standard internet option.

Forget my suggestion--It turns out it's a whole sexual film genre in Japan.

Who knew the japanese had names and genres for everything? :o

The more I think about it, the more I think digital_matthew is right. She should be called Sakura.

don't use Facebook only Twitter..

But i have a good one for you..
Because of your company name i would start the name with V
And call here Vashti.

Vashti originates in Persian language and means "excellent, beautiful".
Some sources suggest that it might be of Hebrew origin as well.

As a feminine given name it is rather rare.
it fits the line of rare and beautiful. The miya pro i ordered for my girl certainly falls in that category.
in a see of boring plane keyboards without any color or feel of nice quality PBT Varmilo is doing a great job helping me switch my girl to mechanical keyboards..Like the color scheme the layout is rare and beautiful being just big enough to house a dedicated arrow cluster making the switch to it effortless..

What else is there to say.?
Program-ability would certainly add to her excellence. Still good job Varmilo..keep it up hope this name helps.. it's the best i can do.. on such short notice.. have to get back to work by.

Momo.

A Japanese flower, the name means "Peach" (literally), "I am your captive", and "Fascinating personality".

No you won't because the girl's name is Hanami :mrgreen:
Hanami (花見, "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers; flowers ("hana") are in this case almost always referring to those of the cherry ("sakura") or, less frequently, plum ("ume") trees.[1] From the end of March to early May, cherry trees bloom all over Japan,[2] and around the first of February on the island of Okinawa.[3] The blossom forecast (桜前線 sakura-zensen) "cherry blossom front" is announced each year by the weather bureau, and is watched carefully by those planning hanami as the blossoms only last a week or two.

The first thing that came to mind for me was Matsuri.

Although there's a very clear sakura blossom viewing theme (Hanami), I associate the overall celebration and feeling of people dressing up in yukatas and visiting stalls during the festivals (Matsuri). These festivals are usually accompanied by fireworks (Hanabi).

So if I could have secondary suggestion it would be Hanabi. :D

We will consider both of them. Thank you very much. ;)

My second suggestion would be Mila, the feminine form taken from the name Varmilo.
