Back again, been a while! I’m here to talk about oozelings and names, a few "do"s, "don’t"s and reference pages!
First Names
So the biggest issue with names, is the first name. You’ll get bwoinked for “Brick” “Laser-Lemon” or “Braun” (the last one being the german word for brown), but you don’t want to stick with say, “Red” “Blue” “Green” “Yellow”, etc. As fun as it would be having oozelings stand together to look like an xbox controller’s buttons, you chose this race to be one of the showiest snowflakes.
A quick google search will yield many, many colors, ranging from colors based on objects (Brick is a shade of red associated with you guessed it, bricks, and Laser-Lemon is a crayola color), to the classic ones you see on every kindergarden classroom’s decor of a rainbow and a cloud.
There’s no one GOOD site for these names but thus far my favorite is this one alphabetizing it. Alphabetical Color List A - Z :: Color-ize, Inc. { Graphic and Web Design : Storm Lake, Iowa
Obviously some names will flop, I would avoid “Asparagus” “Fire Brick”, et cetera. Aparagus because the first thing you think of is a vegetable, not a color, and Fire Brick because two-word colors aren’t allowed like “Dark Blue”, nor are hyphenated colors (The aforementioned Laser-Lemon). Personal favorite name ideas for me include:
“Amaranth” (color named after the flower like orange being named after the fruit)
“Cerise” (Said to be from the french word for Cherry)
“Xanthic” (Looks like a very electrifying shade of yellow!)
“Periwinkle” (Another one based on a flower, I should add these in-game)
Saffron (This is a somewhat less electrifying yellow, good for those who saw xanthic as too bright)
Surnames
So, due to a now not-quite recent discusson, oozeling surnames got a nice update! Names ending in -son or -dottir (dotter I guess if you don’t like the more norse-spelt name) are accepted! (Just not made official yet, also the wiki needs an update)
What do those mean? -son is for the son of someone, obviously. Jameson is a whiskey as a surname would be just that, the son of James. Gerald Jameson, or Gerald, son of James.
-dottir on the other hand is for a daughter, for example, Astrid Andersdottir, is Astrid, daughter of Andrew. -dottir in real life is primarily out of use unless you live in Iceland, I believe, but would fit considering these oozelings are considered “sons” and “daughters” to the scientists creating them. I gave just a few examples here, but with enough searching and a little creativity, you can have your own unique surname!
