Of those listed, I voted for Pepper, as even though I would just like to stick with Anery A Blood, I would prefer Pepper to the others if a new trade name is chosen.
I really like Granite too, but I've heard of a few people in Ohio/Indiana calling Paradox Snow corns, Granite corns, so that could be a problem... I don't know.

I chose keeping it the same, but not as Anery A Bloodred. First I don't feel it necessary at all to put the "A" in there since it seems that most everyone uses the term Anery now for the "A" version and Charcoal for the "B" version as a standard so they could be referred to as Anery Blood and Charcoal Blood without anyone not understanding that the term Anery refers to an Anery A and not a charcoal. And I don't feel the word "red" need be in there at all. So, my vote would be for Anery Blood.
BUT, if it came down to the fact that a name had to be designated to it, I would vote for Granite without hesitation. To me granite really does describe the look of this corn so well.
Raiders on the other hand is, in my opinion, a terrible name. It is confussing to anyone who is not a football fan - which I am not - and IF it was taken for the head marking, well my Anery Blood has no markings on his head so that is double confussing. As I said, I am not a football "fan" myself but I do sit and watch them occassionally because my husband is. But I could not tell you what the colors are of the teams and what their symbols are except the Patriots because they are our local team. So, this name leaves everone who is not a football follower and those of other countries who don't have these games, out in left field.
If we are going to end up designating names, then to me there should be a visual or scientific association with the name given so once learned it has a way of understanding to it. Otherwise we could name them any cutesy name that turned our fancy and tell people to 'relearn' word associations. We could call a ghost blood a Popsicle Corn and tell everyone they have to associate popsicle with that color morph. Could we all do it? Yes, certainly. Does it make sense to? No. As a human species we tend to associate by visual and tacticle senses and if it looks like a toad and feels like a toad, we tend to call it a toad. The name should bring to mind at least a semblance of what the snake looks like.
Now, if we do end up naming them, I will say I really like the name Avalanche for the Snow Blood. It absolutely fits all aspects of that morph and couldn't be a better fit.
So, in sumary, I vote keep it simply - Anery Blood - but if we have to pick a name....Granite.
:cheers:
By the way, here is a picture of my male Anery Blood. And for the heck of it a couple pictures of the many colors of natural granite.

I like granite. I'm a newbie to corns so I don't know alot. But I like the names that are given to each variety of corns. I'm trying to learn all the scientific names, but it takes time. It is easier for me to learn the trade name and then associate it with the genetic name. If that makes any sense. I really like the name 'marble' but thats was not in the choices. so granite it was. lol

Thanks JT about the compliment on my boy. I will say, not all "Anery Blood" are as colorful as he is but they do all have the mottled, swirly and/or speckled type appearance to them just like granite has.
Still my first choice would be to use Anery Blood, Ghost Blood, etc.

I agree...anery blood, ghost blood etc...puts the vision in my head of what these snakes should look like. When I first read raiders, I had no clue what they were talking about, and couldn't come up with a picture in my head.
I feel that when people hear the names, they see in their minds eye a picture of the snake being described. Granite is good, because as the pics show above, these snakes look like granite. The snakes don't all look the same, but neither does pieces of granite.
I actually do prefer anery blood though, since that gives the person the actual desctiption of the snake.
I know that I am fairly new at this, but since I will be breeding these beauties in the near future I just wanted to add my opinion.

I vote for Granite Corn and I am the moron that came up with the Raider Name. Lets trash Raider Corns and try something else. Anery Bloods will always be there as a Trade name or genetic description in either case.
If we can use Pewter for Anery B Bloods then we can use Granite Corns for Anery A Bloods. It is about time that the Anery A morphs are given some respect and not treated as second class citizens anymore.
I think that we should all remember that these are suggestions that need to stand the test of time. One name will win out in the end. When we start seeing a popular name on sites then we will know it is starting to catch on. If some people use Granite Corns and then list the genetics as Anery A Bloods and another uses Anery A Bloods and list the genetics as Anerythristic A Bloods, then we are being consistent. One person feels that trade names are OK and the other would rather use the genetic listing of the morph.
The name game is nothing like somebody slapping a name on a Butter Corn at a Trade Show and calling them Day Glow Yellow Corns in an attempt to make them something more special that they are and, therefore; get more money for them. Trade Names are used in every industry, profession and hobby that I know of. They are designed to be catchy and recognizable. We are not participating in a dastardly scheme to try to sell Anery Bloods for $1K. We all know what we are talking about and trying to name. There is no underhanded or underlying purpose to the Name Game, other than changing a name like Hypomelanistic, Anerythristic A Bloodred Corn into something that is pronounceable, like a Ghost Blood.
I think many people forget how many Trade Names that we use that seem like genetic names but they are not. They have become a shorter word for a combination of genes and are being used as both a trade name and genetic name. Snow has the same exact meaning of Homozygous Amelanistic/Anerythristic A. Snow is a genetic name and a trade name in one package. Granite Corns can be the same thing. Pewters are already there.
The newbie argument for genetic names is ridiculous. They can’t even pronounce them, spell them, and don’t have much of a clue what they mean. If they have half a brain and a high school diploma and the desire, they will be speaking Corn Snake Jargon and Genetics as a second language in a matter of months. We are not talking about Molecular Science or something like that, we are talking about something that is very BASIC and easily learned by anybody with the desire to learn it.

I like Anery Bloodred (Maybe its because that I've been calling those like that from the start...that's why its stuck in my head....?)
But what I really would like to know iswhat we have finally decided at the end.
I can accept any name, as long as we're basically 'notified' on what the 'final name' is on the morph~

that is the problem
Cause as we can see from the poll, a lot of us has different view on the name. That is why its hard.
But I guess the 'who' are going to the big breeders, people like Rich, Don, Kathy, Joe and so on. If all of them use the same name on a particular morph, then I guess the name is 'basically' good to go.
Anyhow, I do agree who determines the name? That is why I like sticking with what they are with the Genetic make ups. Keeps it simple enough for me......
Corns like Pewters are so well known now that once we see the name 'Pewter' we think of Charcoal Bloodred. Of course names are easier to sell out than just Charcoal Bloodred for sale too. So we too have to factor this point in.......

The Rule Of Thirds.
I vote "Anery A Bloodreds", but if the market takes to 'granite' like they took to 'butter', 'sunglow', etc., I've no problem with that. As long as it brings more folks in to keep and appreciate these corns, kewl.
:bowdown: Gardenmum, that is a gorgeous specimen!
Makes my Anery B Normal look like.......um......charcoal. :grin01:

This is a very old thread. Most people call them granites.
