Absolutely! I rescind my scorn!
I should probably rescind some of my general scorn, too. The name isn't really THAT important... but... y'know, you kinda wish that it was something cool. Or, cooler. : )
Honestly, I wasn't that fond of "moogerfooger," either. : )

With less than 24 hours to go until the rest of you get to see the synth, I will offer up one little clue :

IT DOES NOT SAY "LITTLE PHATTY" in HUGE LETTERS ON THE BACK< NOR DOES IT HAVE A TRADITIONAL MOOG MUSIC LOGO !! WHAT ELSE COULD IT POSSIBLY HAVE ON THE BACK ??

Tomorrow you too will know !

I've got you beat. My last name is "Nutt", so I'm used to dealing with bad names

I don't particularly care for the name MoogerFooger either.

I just think that someone on a creative team could come up with something better. Look at all the examples that we have come up with in the other thread.

Well i still think the name sucks hehe.

WHats in a name right?

(Except the Moog name which we all know whats in it)

From Mike Adams:

"So what about the name, Little Phatty? Taking a cue from Bob’s choice of the name “moogerfooger” for our line of effects modules, we adopted the moniker “Little Phatty” for our new synth because of its irreverent; tongue-in-cheek nature. At first it was just funny, but it grew on us as the personality of the synth developed. The Little Phatty name is a description of what we wanted this synth to be: smaller, less imposing, a chip off the old block as far as the sound character, and a price point people have a chance of reaching. It is a true Moog synth. It sounds really fat and ballsy. In this way we feel the name echoes the “minimoog”. Bob liked the name Little Phatty. He had a great sense of humor about these things. I know if he were still here we would be enjoying some great laughs, and I think he would really love the way the LP sounds. It definitely contains the sound that he created."

Little Phatty? Orbiter? I just want to turn the filter res up all the way and route the cutoff to the mod wheel and shatter vases or blow a speakercone or three. Who's with me?

I'm with ya!!!!
