    Nice! Now, I just have to a) wait, or b) forge my name. ;)

    From FAQ;

    What size Boost am I entitled to?
    If you were lucky enough to have your name as a Name of The Day,
    you can get any size Boost you like (kids, medium or original!)

    What type of drink am I entitled to?
    Any juice, crush or smoothie on our menuboard, baby!

  • RubenM on 30/08/2010 - 12:58

    Yes, not going to happen for me.

    what happens if my name is Luke Grace? - i can't get the freebie?

    :)

    • Trance N Dance on 30/08/2010 - 13:17

      Haha yeah… the only way I'm gonna get a freebie is if they accept middle names and a contraction of a middle name at that, even then my English middle name is a rare one.

      Let's try and be reasonable and not jump on the 'racist' bandwagon.

      It doesn't take a genius to work out that Boost Juice will most likely select somewhat common names. They could use Indian names for eg. "Sukhdeep" and "Hardik" but even though those are somewhat common Indian names, I don't think it would be very inclusive for Sydneysiders in general so what would be the point?

        • jwh on 30/08/2010 - 15:16

          Wouldn't that be like me going to India and complaining when something along the lines of 'Darren' and 'Lachlan' don't get called out?

          Bit of a storm in a teacup over just a free drink, but it's possible for non-Anglo, non-Aussie-born people to have Aussie/Western names too.

          I'm not white and I have a foreign last name (and a foreign middle name) but I also chose to legally change my first name to a common Western name - partly to fit in, partly to make life easier for those around me, and partly to increase my chances of scoring a free juice from Boost.

    • daydream on 30/08/2010 - 18:30

      This comment ("racist" label) demeans situations/scenarios that are genuinely racist and to be deplored. Clearly not even all the common names are going to be picked so plenty will miss out. Be happy if you score one, indifferent if you don't (coming from someone with a non-Anglo, immigrant background).

      Just cause your name isn't common doesn't mean Boost's campaign is stupid.
      It's actually a great marketing device .
      Also, be happy with a name that is special! XD

      • masham on 04/09/2010 - 08:26

      Hmm, I wonder why? Is it maybe because we're in Australia and not India? Seriously, the campaign would make less sense if they chose your name because no one would have it and they'd get even more complaints.

      If they had a 'last name game promo' I wouldn't expect to see my Polish last name get picked but I'm cool with that seeing as Polish isn't the Australian language. How could I blame them?

        You have to look at it both ways though, if they chose obscure names then people would complain that they are deliberately choosing names that not many people have to avoid giving out many free drinks.

        You can't win either way.

        At least they run promos with free stuff like this, not many other places do.

  • Davo1111 on 30/08/2010 - 18:36

    Guys, i dont mind people defining a region where obscure names are derived from, but please dont use racist slang.

    • em on 30/08/2010 - 21:09

        its ok, dont worry :)

  • Chewman on 30/08/2010 - 18:41

    hahaha this is gold.

    anyhow, if on the offchance that "Winston" comes up, do you think they'd accept my name, "Wynston"?
    There's a little spelling difference, but other than that it's basically the same name….

    I guess I'd just have to try my luck.

    • daydream on 30/08/2010 - 18:54

      Yes, I was wondering about variations on the name but didn't see anything eg. Sara, Meaghan for today.

      • zac on 30/08/2010 - 19:18

        They generally accept it if it's in the same ballpark.

      They are not going to do it this year. It says so on the website.
      However, specials happen on mondays and fridays.

      Maniac Monday: 6 names get free boost, as opposed to 2.

      Flashback Friday (replaces the "Mum was mean Mondays" you mentioned):
      4 "old-school" names get free boost.

    • tomsco on 31/08/2010 - 18:05

      And that's a dumb neg vote. Read the guidelines. The fact is they are giving away a free drink to anyone with this name, anyone that works in the city could easily get 5+ in one day. Considering they are using such common names, this is a enormously generous promotion.

      And because there is nothing fundamently wrong with this deal, your neg vote is irrelevant.

      • monkeyStig on 02/09/2010 - 11:58
        -5

        Well there is something fundamentally wrong with this deal, it's biased towards those who have a generic name, those of us who are of ethnic origin and who most likely dont have a generic name will not benefit from a promotion like this.

          So are you implying that anglo names are generic? Just because names are common, it doesn't mean they're generic. I think there is something more fundamentally wrong with your comment than this promotion. As tomsco said, what do you expect? It's Australia. It's like if I move to another country that has this promotion and start complaining because they're picking names native/common in that country. If Boost had to satisfy everyone as unrealistic as you, can you imagine the amount of names they'd have to pick? Then you'd get some guy from Kyrgyzstan complaining that Boost is biased since they didn't pick his Kyrgyz name..
