New Trade Names

The one that bugs me is when the addition of a pattern gene requires a new trade name. It's just a xxx motley or zzz stripe...not a raspberry margarita.

And no...I'm not very fond of amaretto for a gray snake.

I agree that a pattern gene shouldn't generate a new name. A motley butter is enough.
 
Yeah, the addition of stripe, motley, or diffusion shouldn't usually generate a new trade name. But, to play the Devil's Advocate, all three of those pattern modifier genes can dramatically change how much of the original pattern (by which the original trade name can be partially based upon) appears in the new morph. I mean, the stripe gene essentially changes a blotched corn into a solid unicolor snake. If a honey is used to describe the honey-like yellows and/or oranges on a honey, then why couldn't it be a 'honey smear' corn for a honey stripe (btw, I would NEVER name a honey stripe that!). The common trade name used to describe the diffused gene is 'blood'. Like the OP on my thread in the photo forum said, 'blood' is just a weird name to associate with honey. In that instance I agree. Walter's suggestion of Honeycomb is actually really cool, as it sticks with the 'honey' theme and partially describes the pattern changes to the morph. We found it necessary to use 'pinstripe' for pinstripe motleys, simply because pinstripes look so much different than a normal motley (even though motley basically means diverse!).

So, I guess I see both sides and in some instances see where I can stand on either side of the fence, but at times would probably find myself sitting uncomfortably atop the fence! :cheers:

Strawberry + Anery (this one has so many names it should have ONE) = Stranery

Anery + Sunkissed = Anerykissed
Lava + Sunkissed = Lavakissed
Strawberry + Sunkissed = Sunberry
Phantom + Diffused = Bloody Phantom
Motley + Diffused = Bloody Crue
Ultra + Caramel = Goldbar (my proposed name)
Ultra + Caramel + Diffused = ?
Honey + Ultra = UltraHo's
Lava + Cinder = Cindaverella
Shatter (Cinder + Sunkissed) + Diffused = Bloody Mess
Lava + Lavender = Lavlav
Anery + Dilute = (Is this one currently known as 'blue'?) Blue Dilery
Anery + Dilute + Motley = ? Dilery Crue
Anery + Dilute + Stripe = ? Runny Dilery
Sunkissed + Dilute = ? Dilkissed
Strawberry + Caramel = Caraberry

As you can see it would be a good thing if I never hit any of the targets mentioned above.

I laughed so hard when I got to UltraHos! That's some funny stuff right there.

100% agreed with Josh. The addition of a pattern trait to a particular morph does not require a whole new name, in my opinion.

So, keeping with the ghost and phantom line of names (I've always assumed these names were created for these morphs because the colors are 'ghosts' of their normal selves), why not name an anery sunkissed a Wraith corn? It's a cool name, I think it has a little evil sound to it, something that would match up well with some of the cool head patterns, and it's a version of a ghost or phantom. We can't use specter, because that's already used to describe a morph with an unknown genotype. Poltergeist corn would be pretty cool, but I think it lacks the flare needed to describe the pattern modifications the sunkissed gene brings to the table.

Just my thoughts.

I like Ghost ok, but I'm less of a fan of Phantom. While looking at some of our Sunkissed aneries the other night, I thought a cool trade name would be "Shadow" corn snake. Our Sunkissed anery stripe is actually named Shadow, but it could be very fitting as a morph name for Sunkissed aneries, without being too cheesy. Thoughts?

:bowdown: Dave, you are awesome. Fact.
 
I don't think that I will ever produce a first, but I know that I would feel rather upset if I had, only to find out that someone already has a name for it...
It's funny, but before Buttermints were produced, I wanted to get some snakes with all the hets to make those, and name them Buttermints. It was a happy coincidence that they were named the same as what I wanted to name them...LOL
 
Honestly it really doesn't matter what you call it. Eventually somebody is going to call it something else at some point. How important is it really?:shrugs:

Great One! I have to spread some Love before I can rep you again! :cheers:

Thanks Dave!

It's not important at all. This was just meant to be FUN! Geez, how hard of a concept is that? The seriousness and sarcasm in this entire thread baffles me.
 
playing along-- Orchid + Tessera= Lotus :) or,I guess Orchid + anything= Lotus,I just wanna' see a "Lotus" corn LOL ;)
