I agree that a playful name would be a wonderful way to go for this very playful move. I
like Gimbal for that reason. Just checking, it’s pronounced “gym-bal” right?
There was one other playful suggestion sometime in the past couple of weeks, in addition
to gyre, but try as I might, I just can’t find it in the rich flow of email on this topic,
so if someone wants to re-nominate it, with the goal of a rememberable and playful name in
mind, please do. I know that indicates it’s not passing the rememberability test for me at
the moment but, to be fair, I was just skimming on a work night when it flew by.

What I feel
Is missing from these expressions is twofold. One is memorability. We remember things
better to which we attach emotions of some kind. A name people giggle or oo ah about is
going to stick and be pleasurable each time they hear it. I love the name Mad Robin, as
an example of a distinctive and whimsical name for a dance move, which could as easily be
called a sideways do si do. The second is the sense of playful interaction that gypsy has
always engendered. I don't want to restart the discussion of why that is, but I do
want to keep that in the move, along with eye contact, rather than go to a dry workmanlike
term. So nice of to have to invite play, but perhaps only need to mention that you look
at your P, N, Sh, as you (new name) around them by the (R/L Sh). I think that was the
appeal to me of the word Gimbal, which somehow revoked both rotation and play all in one.
I hope I'm not alone in this desire, though I know we are often of very diverse
opinions as a group.
Cheers,
Andrea
