Maize and Blue Badge Set 2014-2017
Okay, everyone! Part 2 is finished, so now it's time for Part 5! We've decided what kind of Pokemon we want. We've decided what powers it should have. We've decided how tough we want it to be. We've decided what it looks like. But what the heck are we going to call this snake?
In this thread we will discuss and submit potential names for our little snake. The rules for Name Submissions were formalized in this Policy Review. A formal list of rules has been enacted:
RULES:
Legal name submissions must meet the following standards
Work In Progress (WIP) Names can be posted at any time for comments from the community.
No more than three WIP Names can be posted by any individual person through the entire course of the submission thread. This limit applies to ALL posts made by a single person, even if previous posts are edited or deleted. This limit is intended to curb the tendency for some submitters to spam the thread repeatedly with lists of Names. This detracts from other submissions and makes it difficult for commenters to survey the submission thread.
Do not bump your WIP names by posting them repeatedly, or making minor spelling changes of a letter or two. Bumping will result in the disqualification of all names by the offender. Editing or deleting bump posts will not prevent disqualification.
Only ONE Final Submission can be made per person and only after Final Submissions are open.
Name Final Submissions can only be posted after a CAP Moderator or Leader posts in the thread that final submissions are open. Any final submission posted prior to the Moderator notification post, will disqualify the submitter from the poll entirely. Even if the offending post is edited later or deleted, the submitter will still be disqualified for the remainder of the thread. This ensures that all submitters have equal opportunity to post final submissions without anyone unfairly "jumping the gun".
Final submissions must provide one sentence (25 words maximum) explaining the etymology of the name.
Final submissions must provide a common English pronunciation. The common pronunciation can be made in whatever format you feel best conveys the pronunciation to most English speakers.
Do not post a profane name. Do not imply profanity with your name. This includes swear words, racial/ethnic/any-group-of-people slurs, and anything that doesn't belong in a game rated E for Everyone. If a six-year-old would be offended by your name, it's time to think of a different name.
Name Final Submissions must be posted exactly in the following format and in the following exact order:
Example final submission:

Commenting:
Do not just post to support a name or group of names without any reasoning. Posts such as "I like the name Miniconda" are unacceptable and can be subject to moderation. Posts such as "I like the name Miniconda because it's catchy and makes our Pokemon look cute" are perfectly fine. If you think your post is acceptable, it probably is. This rule does not exist to discourage posting, it exists to get rid of five word posts that contribute nothing to the discussion.
If you're not sure if your name/post/comments are legal, post them. The worst that will probably happen is your post being deleted. If you're still not sure, just ask. We're not trying to make this thread difficult to post in, and these rules are not intended to trick anyone.

Syclant
A combination of "Icicle" + "Ant".
Pronounced: "SICKLE-ant"
This name was originally submitted by Lawman on the very first CAP project. I think it's a great name, even though almost everyone mispronounces it!
