Naming a book club for Introverts

[Floweringthem]

My DD 10 is an introvert, she is starting a little book club with some friends who are like are and needs to name it....

It seems that words associated with being an introvert, are slightly negative but she (rightly so) see's it as a positive.

For example she is not shy, just prefers her own company...

Any ideas on what they could they call their group?

Thank you

Good lord
why the heck are you even trying to label the book club this way!!!

what about just…. “summer book club… join us!”

Even better

”book club - ALL welcome!”

Why does the name have to be associated with introverts?

I can’t quite get my head around how odd this is

I don't think it's particularly odd? I've certainly read more outlandish stuff on here

Just call it IBC (Introverts Book Club)

Or the 'Quietly Quirky Club'

does occasionally enjoying some time to yourself and describing yourself as introvert automatically mean you’re “quirky” too?

That's silly tomato it's not labelling, it's a shared common trait OP's daughter wants to celebrate and there's no call for you to be dismissive of it, just don't comment if you have nothing useful to add.

OP If it was me I would call it the Quiet Readers' Book Club because I always loved Quiet Reading time at school, but that's not very imaginative! Or maybe something to do with prisms..

Get each girl to write their choice on a bit of paper
put it in a hat
your dd as organiser picks it blind

job done

There used to be a great strip cartoon in a girls' comic called The Silent Three . .
Quietly Reading?

They’re 10
So what happens if one of the girls doesn’t fit their view of what being an “introvert” is anymore
is she out on her ear?

At ten I would have done something stupid like taken all my friends and my initials and named it eg ‘RNJS Book Club’ and probably surrounded it by drawings of books and hearts and flowers. I’m not saying that’s what she should do, I’m just saying rather than suggesting she calls it something chosen by an adult like (Perks of Being a) ‘Wallflower Bookclub’ just leave her to be creative herself.

The Secret Book Club - they're probably all quite good at keeping secrets if they're pretty quiet and it sounds cool.

@tomatoandherbs I think you're a bit overinvested in how this child wants to define her club. I agree that encouraging children to think of/label themselves as introverts or extroverts is probably not great, but I presume the OP was using that as a handy shorthand for kids who are rather quiet and thoughtful.

I can’t understand why each girl doesn’t get a shot at a name and then a lucky dip.

it seems like your dd wants to control the demographic and the name. Shame because I suspect the focus on “oh all of us are introverts” may lead to exclusions if one gets to “extroverted” or someone would love to join but DD says… too loud!

Because at that age… I suspect it will lead to exclusions and people not being allowed to join. They’re 10.

i would be encouraging her to make “all welcome”

Still waters (as in 'run deep'') book club?

What about 'Just Books' - because the focus is on the reading, not the social aspect.

All welcome would be nice but this sounds like an informal friends thing rather than a school run activity say. There is no obligation to make kids be friends with anyone else and if they're rather quiet they might want to keep it to other quiet ones so they can all go at their speed/volume. And I say that as a big extrovert! I prefer to have friends who are a mix but it's easy for me to say that as I will always crowbar myself into the conversation come what may 😀

Book Friends

"Shshsh We're Reading"

This is fun!

I'd have loved this as a child!

You could get them to look up introverted (or quiet and misunderstood!) characters in fiction and name their book club after one of them.

I would be classed as introverted, but I'm absolutely against providing kids of that age with a label that pigeonholes them when they have a whole lot of developing to do. Labeling themselves and reading about introversion is likely to make them think that they have limits, that there are things they shouldn't do because they won't like them because they're introverts, etc.

Kids of ten should be encouraged to experience new stuff, to be adaptable, and not to 'other' themselves or their more outgoing peers.

Introversion doesn't mean quiet and thoughtful though.

and a pp suggested “quirky”!
