RFD: Time to name ourselves!

this discussion has been going on for so long, perhaps we should
devote some time to it.
What do people think about doing an official vote on candidates
which we will collect?

Here's a go--if you'd like to vote or suggest other names, reply to this
message or email to the address in the .sig...
1) File-o-phile:
PRO--preferred by creator Chris Carter CON--just too goofy
2) X-Phile:
PRO--preferred by netters CON--verbally indistinguishable from "X-file"
3) X-Philer:
PRO--doesn't sound like "X-file" CON--possibility of being mispronounced
as "X-Filler," which would be disasterous.
4) X-Filer:
PRO--no possibility of that "X-Filler" thing CON--also a bit goofy
5) X-ophile:
PRO--nice variation of X-phile CON--also a bit goofy
some others I've seen in one or two messages: X-ite, X-Fan, X'er. All of
which seem ok, but a little too generic (possibility of being confused
with X-men fans).
Cheers,

Ok,
there are three clear choices to chose from, each with there positive
and negative points.
First, there is "File-o-philes."
Pro: -This describes what we are quite nicely:
lovers of The Files.
-It comes from the creator himself, Chris Carter,
in an interview about viewer response from
Internet and Prodigy.
-Nice phonical aliteration.
Con: -Sounds really silly
-Could injure yourself if said five times fast.
-Too long.
Second, there is a.t.x-f's favorite, "X-philes."
Pro: -Cleaver pun on the shows title that describes us.
-Many already us this term.
-Is kinda cool.
Con: -Too good of a pun. It works in print, but loses
meaning in the spoken word. "I'm an X-file."
Too goofy and wierd.
Third, my personal favorite is "X-ophile." Could be written
as "X-o-phile," but that's one too many key strokes.
Pro: -Basically the same pros as "X-philes," but with
the extra 'o' which sets the name off from that
of the show.
-Can be used as an excuse just in case we come
accross a really poor episode. "We're fans of
the outside."
Con: -Do we really want to call ourselves something?
That's about it:
File-o-philes
X-philes
X-ophiles
PS- What should the accepted abreviation for the show be? You know,
like "Picket Fences" is PF, "Northern Exposure" is known as NX, "Twin
Peaks" is PF, "Quantum Leap" is QL, is it safe to assume that "The
X-Files" is XF? I don't see it used much on r.a.t., r.a.t.sf, or here.

I think it's a good idea. I would be willing to handle the votes, if someone
else doesn't want it. (I run the FTP site: cybercow.rh.uchicago.edu.)
We could have a 10 day period of collecting names, and I could make a
ballot of preferential selection (1,2,3, and so on. . .) and everyone
could vote. Or we could just have a ballot with all the names, and have
people check one. After a 10 day voting period, we could see what our
real name should be! :-)
Let me know what you think. . .

Fox Broadcasting Company Press Release for The X-Files
THE X FILES
(Fridays, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT)
THE X FILES is a one hour drama about an unconventional FBI agent, Fox Mulder
(David Duchovny), who takes it upon himself to investigate a group of
unsolved cases, known as the "X-Files," that he believes involve paranormal
phenomena. To keep tabs on his work -- and in the hope of debunking his
theories -- the FBI teams him up with Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), a
young, skeptical agent who has a degree in medicine and a strong bias toward
the scientific.
As the pair works to solve these unexplained cases, Mulder's strong belief in
the forces of the unknown continues to challenge Scully's rational mind.
Their relationship grows more complex with each case, slowly emerging as a
handy mix of professional competitiveness, witty repartee and a mutual
attraction that is heightened by the intensity of their task and the close
proximity in which they work.
Chris Carter is the executive producer of this Twentieth Television
production.

DAVID DUCHOVNY
(Agent Fox Mulder on The X-Files)
David Duchovny is probably best known for his memorable role as the
transvestite detective in the television series "Twin Peaks" and for his
performance opposite Mimi Rogers in the acclaimed feature film "The Rapture."
A native New Yorker, Duchovny graduated from Princeton University and then
earned a graduate degree in English literature at Yale University, preparing
for a career as a teacher. While at Yale, he began commuting to New York to
study acting and was soon appearing in off-Broadway plays. In 1987, in the
midst of his doctorial studies, he left Yale to persue acting full time.
Duchovny's film credits include leading roles in "Chaplin," opposite Robert
Downey, Jr., "Beethoven" with Charles Grodin, "Don't Tell Mom the
Babysitter's Dead" and "The Red Shoe Diaries" for Showtime. Duchovny is also
appearing in the upcomming feature "Kalifornia" with Brad Pitt and Juliette
Lewis.
Duchovny, who is single, was born August 7. He resides in Malibu, Calif.
GILLIAN ANDERSON
(Agent Dana Scully on The X-Files)
Gillian Anderson first gained recognition as an actress for her off-Broadway
performance in Alan Ayckborne's "Absent Friends" at the Manhattan Theater
Club, for which she won a Theatre World Award. She also performed in
Christopher Hampton's "The Philanthropist" at the Long Wharf Theater.
Her love of theater began in high school where she participated in community
theater. In college, Anderson studied with the National Theater of Great
Britian at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., and then at the Goodman
Theater School at Chicago's DePaul University, where she obtained her BFA
degree.
Anderson's film and television credits include "The Turning," produced by The
Tribeca Film Center, and an episode of the Fox series "Class of '96."
Anderson, who was born August 9, is single and resides in Los Angeles.
CHRIS CARTER
(Executive Producer/Writer of The X-Files)
Chris Carter began his career as a screenwriter in 1985 at The Walt Disney
Studios. Previously, Carter had been working as a freelance journalist,
writing and traveling extensively abroad.
At Disney, Carter wrote and produced several television movies in addition to
the television pilot "Cameo By Night" for NBC and "The Nanny," a sitcom for
The Disney Channel. He took a short leave of absence from Disney to
co-produce the second season of the comedy series "Rags to Riches," starring
Joe Bologna, and returned in 1989 to create and executive produce "Brand New
Life," a recurring comedy series which ran as part of a rotating schedule on
Disney's Sunday night lineup.
In 1992, Carter began creating and developing television projects, including
The X-Files, for Twentieth Television.

o is just a comon joiner of the two words. If you look up o in the
dictionary, you would get a definition like this:
o-
[ME, fr. OF, fr. L, fr. Gk, thematic vowel of many nouns and adjectives
in combination -- used as a connective vowel orig. to join word
elements of Greek origin and now also to join word elements of Latin
or other origin <drunkometer> <elastomer> ]
The term X-ophile, Xophile, X-o-phile all are the correct usage of o.
It might be wrong as a matter of taste, but it's correct grammatically to
connect the greek suffix to the X.

This is what I was going to suggest as well. Plain, simple, and no

Let's designate one of us to collect them for a time (the

Just as a thought, I was thinking a possible name (granted it has
no "X" in it) is Truthseekers.

Nope - "phile" is a suffix, meaning "friend" (from the Greek - I should
know!!), but "ophlie" means nothing.

She was single at the time the original press packet was released, obviously
some time ago. She has since gotten married to someone who works on the
show, but I've forgotten the details.

First -- Chris Carter, love ya, guy, but File-o-philes is just
too much like Filofax for me. Feel free to use that term in
house at Ten Thirteen Productions, but I don't think it's going
to fly on the Net. :-)
Back at the dawn of alt.tv.x-files, we were calling ourselves
X-ophiles. Correct use of suffix or not, it does provide us
with a joint verbal and written means of reference.
I of course like X-philes. Yes, it's a play on spellings, but
hey, I've been working at the U of Minn. Press for almost 10
years, have production-coordinated a huge number of lit crit
books in my time, and word play is the academician's specialty.
It doesn't bother me. Also: this is the *written* word here on
the Net, right? Unless we get some sort of voice recognition in
the next 5 years, we'll be using the name visually not vocally,
unless we all get face to face. (A con! Let's have a
convention!!! :-) Just Kidding, folks....)
X-philer and X-Filer: Two thumbs down, for me.
Just my nickels worth of opinion...

Basically, I think this just produces, "Huh?"
2) "X-Philes"
My personal favorite
3) "X-ophiles"
Although this eliminates the "Hi, I'm an X-file" problem, I think that
it sounds sorta loopy and looks strange in type.
So, I vote for "X-Philes." I don't think that the aforementioned "Hi, I'm an
X-file" problem would actually be too much trouble, primarily because I don't
think that I'd actually be saying, "Hi, I'm an X-Phile" aloud all that much
anyway. I think that the name of the group will basically be typed ("To all
you X-Philes out there," etc...) and if it looks good rollin' across my
screen, that's about all I need.

"X-Filers" is OK but why not use the glaringly obvious and

Because it makes no phoenetic sense, as has been pointed out numerous times.
Go tell someone aloud that you're an "X-phile" and see what kind of
reaction you get.
As long as we stick to the prinited (or displayed, I guess) word, though,
it oughta do the trick.

This is an old press release. Before she was married.
Incidentally, it mentioned Duchovney as being single as well. Has this
