So, since creatures are identified by their names, each name has to be unique. How about instead of being identified by their names, they get identified by "codes" or "ID numbers". So, here's how it works. Each creature has it's own unique number, so no other creature has it. And they can be identified by their number instead! Using this, more names for creatures would be available, and people won't have super weird names for their creatures! (Just look at my names XD )

Alot of people value good names, there are people on here that collect certain names, specially if they are 'real words" ive seen people offer 500 CC for good names. Its like creatures people just wont because they value them too much. Also each creature does have a unique ID number, its at the end of that eggs link in the url and they are identified by them haha.

Hehehe... I know about the url codes. How about if maybe all people are allowed to name the creature by their species? I mean, that's pretty much what I would like (once again, my egg names are SUPER WEIRD.)...

I joined last year during the Easter egg hunt. I remember my first egg being a chimera named quak3 because quake was taken. The prize from the egg hunt was a rousel I named epit0me because the name epitome was taken.

Now I have both words as names. Epitome (on my sister's account) just randomly became available one day, along with a good majority of the names I now have.

So like momokie said, just keep trying and you'll eventually find some good names too. 😉

Uh, no. Sorry, but I value my names, almost more than I value the creatures themselves. I put a lot into collecting my names, and I know others have too. I'm very passionate about this subject, so I apologize if it comes off as rude. It's just that my names mean a lot to me, and I'd prefer they weren't taken away from me.

I may not have many proper words but the names I have for my creatures are all nearly unique and I identify the creature by that name
