Tentatively looking to trade common names for other common names

metaphor • 2 January 2026 at 1:00 AM

I'm sorry this is such a specific post, as I'm not really looking to sell names so much as trade some for other names, and I am specific in which names I am looking to trade.

Here are the specific names I'm looking to trade for others:

On @allegory:

Faun
Mesa
Skater

On @poetry:

Dill
Pierce
Rumor
Spunky
Swoop

Examples of names I like:

--Animals (Cat, Viper, Snake, etc.)
--Birds (Owl, Robin, etc.)
--Nature (Flower. Lilac, Tulip, etc.)
--Periodic tables of elements (Cobalt, Silver, etc.)
--Rock music related (A bit more niche, but I like names of famous rock stars like Hendrix, Mercury, Fleetwood, etc.)
Writing and Literary Terms (Writer, Verse, Metaphor, Allegory, etc.)

Really, anything common or that is versatile as a name goes, though.

I like Enigma and Parasite ^^

Names I have that could fall into your categories are:

Literary - Bookish, Booklore, Editorial, Eng
Rock - Nirvanas, Rocking, Sadies

Any interest in swaps? I could offer more than 1 of mine for one of yours tbh cause I think your names are better xD


Edit: You've got me organizing my names and creatures now haha 😋 Other names I'd be open to trading:

> Rock: Osborne, Hozier
> Literary: Playwright, Verb, Verbid
> species names: Sialid, Taipan

Awesome 😊 Do you want me to transfer you 2 eggs for you do all the renaming back and forth or do you want to send me your eggs for me to rename? I'm going to have to log into my side accounts ^^;

I can do the renaming! @mairbair

@metaphor

Alright you're going to get 2 transfers from 2 different side accounts xD

Can you name Verb the Lizlord > Enigma
and Editorial the Heims > Parasite

I'd appreciate it if you sent each one to where it came from but you can also just send em both back to my main 😋
