Most Unfortunate? Name voting until Wednesday!

[Anka]

Someone suggested to change the category name "Most Unfortunate" to "Most Questionable" for the member who is most devoted to Lemony Snicket's work.
Another suggestion was to find a name that referring to Snicket in general instead of either ASOUE or ATWQ. Are there any suggestions?
I will make a poll about that on Sunday, so you can think about other possible names until then.


*EDIT*
I will make the poll tomorrow, with the options
- Most Lemony
- Most Persnickety
- Most Questionable
- Most Unfortunate
- Most Wrong
- Worst Questioner
- Wrongest Questioner

Is there anything I forgot or if you have another suggestion, please tell me in the next 24 hours.

I vote "yes" for Most Questionable.

Also proposed in the thread was "Most Unquestionable," as a kind of hybrid, which has its advantages and disadvantages. As does "Most Questionable," which, whilst representing an ATWQ pun, also seems to imply something contrary to the spirit of the award (as, to be fair, did "Most Unfortunate," so perhaps it's merely fitting, for the title). I guess, if you wanted to be boring, you could just go with something like "Best Researcher." Few of the other award titles have a gimmick, after all.

[Antenora]

How about "Most Wrong"? Or "Most Lemony" to avoid limiting it to one series?

[penne]

"Worst Questioner"
(I'm pretty sure "questioner" is a word. I may be wrong.)

Or use a superlative in the opposite direction: Least Correct, or Least Unquestionable. Most Lemony or Most Snickety would work, also, but I briefly outlined in the earlier thread what advantages a series-specific title might present. Maybe, as another boring suggestion, "Best Snicketologist."

[Dante]

I actually rather like "Most Lemony." It retains a joke whilst also not being wholly ironic - for instance, in the way that the likes of "Most Wrong" and "Least Correct" would actually connote rather the reverse of what they're intended to, and would seem more like a gag award than anything else.

[Hermes]

I support 'Most Lemony'.

I think 'Best Researcher' and 'Best Snicketologist' are a bit too precise - it's for devotion, and while Snicketological research is the the most obvious way of showing devotion, it may not be the only way. For instance, when Lemona was first here I nominated her for this because of the beautifully Lemony style in which she wrote.

[Christmas Chief]

I'm not sure I see the joke in "Most Lemony."Are there definitions of the latter term other than "tasting like a lemon"?

[Hermes]

Well, I think here it tends to mean 'In the manner of Lemony Snicket' - you can say 'Your style is beautifully Lemony' or the like.

[Christmas Chief]

Yes, but others seemed to be implying there was some kind of irony involved. I think "Most Lemony" is appropriately encompassing, I'm just not certain how it upholds a joke.

Most PerSNICKETy

Most Questionable is my favorite.

That is the joke, since it's reasonably obvious that the award isn't actually being given to someone who tastes like a lemon. Despite the fact that the term isn't gramatically correct if we read "Lemony" as a name, it's immediately obvious what the award is awarding - the one acting most in the spirit of Lemony Snicket.

With that said, I think that "Most Persnickety" is also a good pun in that regard, as well as poking a healthy amount of fun at obsessive and detail-oriented Snicketiness.

I have nothing to add, but my favourites are:
1. Most Questionable
2. Most Persnickety
3. Most Lemony
