July Contest - Name the XL Guy

Check out that voting! Whoever liked Max Cell sure must have found a way to vote early and often!

The XL Guy is now officially named Max Cell.

It is hard to believe, but it will be just as difficult to find a winner for this contest as for that brutal August contest. As someone pointed out, the judges took liberty with the entries, combining some commond ideas, etc.

As far as I can tell, NO ONE actually suggested Max Cell. If I have missed the actual entry that suggested this, let me know.

Mark O'Brien was the first to suggest a first name of Max.

_Denis_ was the first to suggest a last name of Cell.

Wade Hilt in a private e-mail suggested the name of "Max El" - MrExcel helps you get the maximum leverage out of Excel.

It is hard to believe, but I think that makes this simple challenge of the month a three-way tie.

The message board CD is going to be an amazing prize. It will be totally searchable, with all of the threads combined. Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who suggested a name.

I suggest in my post
"What say we call him MacXcel OR MacXeL
from "MACro eXcEL" ? "

I think MacXcel or OR MacXeL is too close to Max Cel
since i am not too familiar with your language, delete the "c" or mirror the "cX"and thats the name ??

In Greeks It sounds the same ...
