Hoo boy, at times like this I wish I could ban. If you want to call him Tim, that's fine, but you really do think that it is his real name don't you. Just because the people at neoseeker are misinformed, it doesn't mean that Tim is official.

Rhi, I did not know you were that much against Geraldo :P And yes, Dmitry is a sexy name. But the guy named Dmitry must have some other accent than a Russian one. Russian accent = not sexy.

I would rather be banned from Ushi than use Geraldo! And that is a fate worse than death! *sees the rage in Lil, nina, lala, m_e, Jobs, and Iyami's eyes* Oh, no, they're actually going to ban me! Aaah! *runs for her life to posting games, where nobody really gives a damn what Tim's name is* Don't ban me! Aaaiiee!
you do realize that i do not fully endorse geraldo beucase it is not official, right?

though, his name is not tim. but that is lil's thing to fight against, i am content with my popsie liking weeds thing ti fight against~

Geraldo's name is Geraldo. :O

Didn't the whole Tim thing come from HM64? Because they made a typo, and accidently made Stu call Geraldo, Tim because Stu's dog's name was Tim? o-o

no.


in BTN, stu named his puppy (if yo gave him one) tim. ellen could give you the sandwich recpe before stu gets the sog, and she says taht stu makes them for tim all the time. it was just poor planning on the programmer's part to allow you to get the recipe before stu gets tim, so people thought that maybe tim was doctor.

though, it is a cute idea that stu named his dog after doctor, it is by no means doctor's name.

Ah, I see. Thanks Nina. I knew it was something like that, just couldn't remember what. XD

And so, the Tim theory is shattered, because the name only came from faulty programming. :D

I can dream can't I. I've told the origins of Tim countless times, but still people don't believe the facts. You have given me hope.

Hey, at least people were misinterpreting based on something. That's more than we get a lot of times in this fandom full of "she likes the same guy I do; therefore she is trying to OMG STEEL him frum mee, that HORRR!!!!!!one!!!!twothreezorz", and "Rick has glasses and glasses = TEH EVOL, so Rick is TEH EVOL and all who disagree will be FLAMZORRRRRRRRRRRZD!"

Or hey, how about the mental giantry associated with "Muffy has had THREE BOYFRIENDS! She is OBVEEUSSLY a hor!"

And I like the quaintly adorable touch of Stu naming his puppy after his brother-in-law too much to call the doctor anything else (except possibly Emily, Hopkin Green Frog, or Dmitry) :D

Rhi, take a deeeeep breath and calm down. But I do love it how you channel the « n3w farm3rs » and their spelling molestation, as well as lack of logic.

And Tim is such a boring name.

Tim's not a bad name, but to me it just doesn't seem to fit Docter Geraldo. o_o

I just have absolutely no idea where Geraldo came from!... Oh, « Harvest Goddess », what if Cher finds this thread and bans me because she supports Geraldo? I'm scaring myself... breathe, Angelica, breathe... in, out, in, out, in, out...

Now, if you visualize the person who comes into your head when you think of the name Geraldo, and you don't see one of those immigrants with a thick accent, whatever. I just do not see the Doctor named Geraldo. I mean, Geraldo is a fairly Italian/Hispanic name. Does that sound Doctor-esque to you? *hides from Suki and Lil and momji*

*woozy* Hoooooo, good plan. I think I just hyperventilated, frothing over that damned Rick stealing Karen from me. *passes out*

Hmm, yeah, maybe Tim's a bit boring. It's like Bill, or Bob, except Bob had Mr. Incredible to make it funny. Maybe I'll just revert back to Neil McDoctor. Or Kilty McBagpipes. :D

Man, are people really that rabid about Tim? I gotta say, if I had someone trying to shove Tim up my nose, I'd probably hate it too (I can't imagine he'd be too fond of it, either - up someone's nose ain't the best place to be).

Considering almost everyone just sorta calls him "Doctor", it hardly seems like it should matter that much. It's just a fun, silly thing to wrangle about. (And the frog one still makes me giggle, because Dr. and Mrs. Green Frog is cute in my mind) ^^

Damnit, it's hard enough to sleep at night when I'm worried about Geraldo loving lunatics coming after me with torches, now I have to worry about Cherubae the awesome webmaster joining them!

Geraldo doesn't even fit in the name slot, but Tim does...

The name limit is eight characters (I think), so it does. ;D~

Er, you don't have to be 'flamed', just don't try and insist that 'TIM IS DE BESTEST AND U R DUMB'. o-o

The name character limit is 12, at least for the names you can give. So don't see why it would be any different for villagers.
