Warlach: So digital he’s letting the internet decide his name
Dr Mumbo is delighted to see that Ogilvy has hired a true digital native in Lachlan Hibbert-Wells.
Known across social media simply as Warlach, he’s currently contemplating a legal name change to go with it.
Which would of course put him in the same territory as the similarly mono-nomenclatured Stilgherrian.
And how is Warlach deciding? Through an online poll. Which you can vote on below.
Vote early and vote often.
He’s not doing much work for them, just Tweeting about what his name is.

A single alpha name has more chance of a world duplicate than the traditional double or triple alpha name fomat (As used by humans)

Totally agree with Doug. Engage your audience with the ability to participate and influence the outcome. Crowdsourcing your name….now that’s faith in your industry!

Haha, good to see a little joke I did on my lunch break is apparently newsworthy? I love the fact it’s even got some anonymous hater comments! Apologies to anyone who hoped I’d get hot headed and try and defend myself here, but I’ll let my clients and Ogilvy decide on the quality of my work.
It was never meant to be a “OMG CROWDSOURCE MY LIFE PLZ!!”, hence the lack of write ins. It’s just more common I’m called Warlach these days. so apologies also to anyone who thought they could force me to change my name to Purple Monkey Dishwasher 😉
Oh, and Jonathan, I’ll let you know asap. 🙂

It’s not a nickname if you give it to yourself.
