I was thinking that since it can be hard to come up with good, unique names for creatures sometimes, I'd share some names I've thought of that would fit for certain species (although they can of course be used for different species than those I've suggested!). Most of these are "compound word" names. Feel free to use as many of these as you want - I think they're unclaimed as I'm making this post, but I obviously can't continue to guarantee that. I will probably update though, so I'd appreciate it if you let me know what names you've used, or if you have any names to share!* Alkub:-Panthergray/Panthergrey-Kindclaw/Kindclawe-Cloudswift-Cirruswift/Cirriswift/Cirruswift/Cirruswifte (from "cirrus," a type of wispy high-altitude cloud, + "swift"-Culmulonimbus (A type of cloud, specifically a dark, "fluffy-shaped" thundercloud)-Nimbuswift/Nimbuswifte (from "nimbus," referring to a dark cloud, + "swift")* Cicadiem: - Chronocade/Chronocada (from "chronos," Greek for "time," + "cicada")- Rhythmsummer- Composerhythm- Metronomia/Metronomius (variations on "metronome," a rhythm-keeping device used in music)- Musidia (from "music" + "día," Spanish for "day")- Chronodia (from "chronos" + "día")- Cadencicada/Cadencicade (from "cadence," a word referring to rhythm, + "cicada")* Icenyro:- Phashift/Phazhift/Phashifte (from "phase" + "shift," referring to phase change or the process of changing from one state of matter to another, e.g. solid ice melting into liquid water)- Tidelock/Tidelocke/Tidalocke (referring to tidally locked planets, which have one hot side always facing their star and one cold side always facing away)* Gode: - Sparklytra/Sparklytron/Sparkelytra/Sparkelytron (from "sparkle" + "elytra," the scientific term for a beetle's outer shell-like wings - "elytron" is singular and "elytra" is plural)- Aladorada/Alaora/Alaoro (from Spanish "ala" meaning wing and "oro" meaning gold)- Coleopter (from "Coleoptera," the scientific name for beetles)- Coleygold (from "Coleoptera" + "gold")- Colycorma (from "Coleoptera" + "Lycorma," in reference to the well-known U.S. invasive the spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula)- Pyritelytra/Pyritelytron (from "pyrite," a mineral also known as fool's gold, + "elytra")*Kujak:- Pereaine/Pereain/Pereaina/Peregraine/Peregraina (from "peregrine" in reference to the peregrine falcon, a bird famous for its extremely fast hunting dive, + "rain" in reference to rainbows)- Perefraction/Perefractio/Perefractione (from "peregrine" + "refraction," the bending of light that creates rainbows)- Kitefall/Kytefall (from "kite," a type of bird of prey, + "fall" in reference to a hunting dive)- Kytealon/Kytalon/Kitealyn/Kitealyna (from "kite" + "talon," the claw of a bird of prey)- Kytavis/Kytavi/Kytavin/Kytavia (from "kite" + "avis," Latin for "bird")- Spectraptor/Spectraptora (from "spectrum" + "raptor," a term for birds of prey)Luminette:-Stelledrake/Steldrakhia/Steldrake/Stelledrakhia (from "stella," Latin for "star" + "drake," a word used for dragons)-Dracastra/Drakastra/Drakeastra/Dracastro/Drakastro/Drakeastro/Dracaster/Drakaster/Drakeaster (from "drake" + "astra," Latin for "stars" or "heavens")-Skyverne/Skyverna (from "sky" + "wyvern," a term for dragons especially those without front legs)*Mo:- Avelysium/Avelysia (from "avis" + "Elysium," the ancient Greek "heaven" or good afterlife for the righteous)- Paradisittacine/Paradisitta/Paradisittan/Paradicitta/Paradicittan (from "paradise" + "psittacine," a scientific term for parrots)- Melodavia/Melodavis/Melodavian/Melodavi (from "melody" + "avis")- Harmoniala/Harmonialo (from "harmony" + "ala")* Ringtail: - Aurumring (from "aurum," Latin for "gold," + "ring")- Cirrusky (from "cirrus," a type of wispy high-altitude cloud, + "sky")- Uraniring (from the planet Uranus + ring)- Circulemur/Circulemura (from "circular" + "lemur," in reference to the ring-tailed lemur)*Whirlmane:- Wheeleo/Wheeleona (from wheel + "leo," Latin for "lion")- Breeline/Breelina (from "breeze" + "feline")- Breeleo/Breeleona/Breezeleo/Breezeleona (from "breeze" + "leo")- Galeona (from "gale" + "leo")- Breezeclaw
