ellen,
Mr. Toad thought a car horn’s sound was “poop, poop” I think “parp” is more indicative of the more aggressive horns of today.

I beg to differ with ‘echo.’ This word does not sound like an ‘echo’ unless one says, ‘Echo, echo, echo, echo…’ Even then it’s not onomatopoetic so much as repetitious.

so im starting a clothing line, and i coulndt think of a name. so i was pondering about it. And finally came to the conclusion that a sound for the name of my clothes would be really cool. but now my problem is i dont know what combination of sounds would sound cool for a clothing line? i like the idea of the sounds being animal related or something to do with nature?
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT?! I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
peace and love, Anza Meike
