I made this soap because so many clients have been asking for a natural soap that will deter Mosquitoes. I used the base recipe that I like the most, and added Essential Oils that deter Mosquitoes. Just waiting for it to cure but I have a feeling it will sell out quickly!
Really at a loss for a name here… I am not interested in cutsy or comical names. Just want a simple straight-forward name for this soap? There has to have a simple translation into Spanish as well… any ideas?

Jen
Good idea!!!
ReplyDeletea name in Italian? "Scaccia zanzare"
neither not cute nor not comical...dunno..but here goes anyway:
ReplyDeleteNo Bite Bar
Bug Off
Camper's Friend
Camping Bar
Nomosquito
Summertime
...i'll stop ;)
Hey Jen, Mine's called
ReplyDelete"Skeeter Beater", -you're welcome to use that in Spain, but I don't know how it would translate! LOL!
I did a "Tick-Off" tick repellant soap (that landed me on Southern IL T.V. a few years ago) that sold like hotcakes. (Don't have any this year, though)I will bet you SELL OUT of this new at your next market -no matter what you name it!
Por si las Moscas
ReplyDeleteAnd whatever suits you in English.
Cheers!
Thats funny,
ReplyDeleteI made the same, because a lot of people asked...
I called it
-------------MückWech--------

Hi Jen, mine is called 'Dirty Dog' but I don't know the Spanish translation, I could probably do the Portuguese one though!! looks lovely
ReplyDeleteVery Nice White Soaps!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what kind of essential oils you used..? Very interesting!
Mosquitoes in Japanese is "KA".
FYI.. =)
Bug soap is a total summer must! Loving everyone's name suggestions!
ReplyDeleteI love it, I made a soap like this a year ago and it was popular as well. This is reminding me to make another batch.
ReplyDeleteI'd use: Bug Be Gone, Bug Off Soap, Stay Away Bugs, Shoofly Soap
PS I wish I was going to be near Toronto in July and August as my sister and I were talking about it awhile back. I'm sure you will have a great time, I'm a big fan of Marilyn Denis and wanted to see her new live as I've seen the old one live.
Maybe at some point my sister and I can send you the words or an audio file of our funny Craft Market aches song.

Bugs Away, Mosquito No More is kinda long, but I don't know how it would translate.
ReplyDeleteI need a soap like this for my little one, she's been getting eaten lately.
Beautiful soap, Jennifer. Have fun choosing a name from all the great suggestions.
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that another soaper got in trouble for using Bug Off, since it is trademarked by SC Johnson, and that was the name I was using. So I changed it to Bye Bye Bugs. Sells out fast!
ReplyDeleteKiller bar
ReplyDeleteCeline, Thank you for offering your creativity!! You speak Spanish!!? xo Jen
ReplyDeleteSonja, On Babelfish, this translates as "Drives Away Mosquitos"... oh wow. Look at what a beautiful language Italian is... Scaccia zanzare.... Scaccia zanzare... Sounds like a beautiful love poem, not Drives Away Mosquitos!! I love it! Thank you for your contribution. xoxo Jen

ReplyDeleteZwerg, can you help me? What does MückWech mean? I can't seem to find a translation easily...
ReplyDeleteSoapChick, I LOVE Dirty Dog. Too many choices now! xo Jen
ReplyDeleteAYU, The EO combo is: Citronella, Eucalyptus, Cedarwood, Lemongrass and Basil. However, I am waiting for a shipment of Lemon Eucalyptus which I want to try in the next batch. xoxo Jen
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne-Marie! xo Jen

Jen,
ReplyDeleteI hope we meet someday as I'd like to give you a big hug, after all we are Canadians and from the same province. Who knows maybe I'll come to Spain one day.
This song is a very silly one and not one of my best works by any means. The lyrics change according to our mood. :)
Michelle
Miscellanea, Thanks for the suggestion!!! xo Jen
ReplyDeleteZwerg, Thank you. Sounds great in German! Like a play on words. Thanks for the help translating. xo Jen
