Female original three possible names

[LABHOUSE]

Jessica Kerman - Jebediah Kerman

Bobby Kerman - Bob Kerman

Billwina Kerman - Bill Kerman

The other original three would have the same dumb and brave values.

Other names: Billie, Jessy, Jennifer, Bobbet, Bonny, BillyJean, Jebifer, Willamina, Valentina...

Any other suggestions (preferably first name)?

Make a post telling your favourite one.

Don't you think Kerwoman is a bit obvious? If you want to be p.c. about it why not Kerperson for everyone?

How about Kerdette or something?

Honestly I think Squad shot themselves in the foot a bit with the Kerman thing in the first place.

[vexx32]

I don't see how.

We say human, not huwoman​. There's nothing wrong with that. Kerman is much the same, and was intended to be as far as I know.

[Bill Phil]

It should just be "Jessy" Kerman.

Heck, I've seen an Anny Kerman already...

I think it would be better longer, because jebediah is a long name.

[zxczxczbfg]

"Billie" is the feminine form of "Billy" or "Bill", if I'm not mistaken.

isnt it a tad late for a "female original three"?

Gwendolina

Babs

They will be the original three female kerbonauts, so...

Not sure I like trying to make them too much like the male Original Three. I think they should have non-related names, so we can start some headcanon about them without fitting them into the mold of Jeb, Bill, and Bob. The first three females shouldn't be Jeb, Bill and Bob with slightly different names and a new look.

Jebifer Kermin

Bobbett Kermin

Billyjean Kermin

Phtigrivi suggested Willamina, a slightly more modern spelling of Wilhelmina. I think that makes a analogue to Jebediah/Jedediah because it's old and rarely used. For the other two, I like Sally and Kelly as references to the Kerbo Log (Sara and Kelly).

[Tery215]

I agree with Red Iron Crown, it's not right to just make female copies of the original three with some changes to make it sound female. Rather, a new set.

[thyriel]

Bobby Kerman - Bob Kerman

Bonny Kerman would sound a bit more female

[KSK]

Bonny Kerman would sound a bit more female

Or Scottish.

Lol. The kerbal Space Program used only boys in the early race to the moon.

But the Koviet Program had Valentina! And everyone knows that Jeb had a serious crush on Her since he meet her on the Mun Low orbit...

[Whirligig Girl]

Kerman. It's a real last name. I had a friend who's cousin's sister's name was Kerman. "Man" has no gender connotation in last names.

Not to mention Skye Manley. (Scott's daughter)

Jeb's too professional for "crushes". Bob though... He's got his eyes on Emmany Kerman. Metaphorically.

[Whirligig Girl]

Not original three anyway. Another default set of Kerbs, however...

Any other suggestions for names?

[Pthigrivi]

So this is a thing that's pretty heartfelt and personal to me, but one of the first big moments of my life was drawing space things in pre-school and being so excited to meet someone who'd been to space but then they explained to me that she had died and couldn't come to see us and I felt so incredibly sad.

So I nominate the name Christa.

[Francois424]

umm... my pick for 3 names. (that is what I would pick today as it can change on a whim)

- Skye (a fitting name for an astronaut, wouldn't you agree ?)

- Beth (as in Elisabeth)

- Liu (the first Chinese astronaut)

If I have to pick my favorite of the 3, I'd go with Liu... make her a BadS

Oh and I will say I want a suit color closer to pink than orange for the main 3 ladies... yeah sexism and all that, I don't care, I do think pink is a nice color for any woman to wear...

I agree with this, maybe blue suites instead.

[sumghai]

I definitely agree that the first three female Kerbals shouldn't have names that are mere variations on the original Jebediah/Bill/Bob trio.

A number of years back, I recall seeing fanart / fan references to a potential first female Kerbal named Cassandra (Kassandra?), so that's a possibility. My own suggestions include Babree, Elena and Halnie - a brunette, a blonde and a redhead respectively.

I also entertained the possibility of having a variation on surnames to denote gender, although Kerwoman is probably a bit much IMHO - instead, I suggest Kermina(similar to how certain Russian names end in -nov for males and -nova for females)

[Vindaloo]

Female Kermans would be awesome (I think there is a mod that has some as well? Not sure).

My suggestions for names, to keep with the theme of the original three:

Clementine Kerman

Belle Kerman

Abigail Kerman

If we wanted to go exotic then I would go with:

Valentina Kerman

Kalpana Kerman

Liu Kerman

(named after Soviet, Indian, and Chinese astronauts, respectively)

[Red Iron Crown]

Babree

I like your others, but I can also guarantee that this one will get corrupted into "Barbie", which is probably not the desired association.
