    Desperate for help - trying to think of a name for a literary magazine

    We're creating a literary magazine at school, but it needs a name. Our mascot is a sailor, and our colors are black and orange. Perhaps that could inspire a thought or two?
    Wherever I sat - on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok - I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.

    I enjoyed reading all of your responses. We actually ended up going with The Scribbler and Scribe.
