CAP 35 So Far
====
Main Design:
--
If you are inspired by the winning art design and have come up with a good and unique name you'd like the CAP to be known by, please submit your idea here and we will put it up for a vote against all other users' ideas. Final submissions must conform to the submission rules, so please read them carefully. Breaking the posting rules can also result in disqualification.
Rules
Legal name submissions must meet the following standards
A name will not be slated if it:
Do not claim another person's name submission unless one or more of the following is true:
WIPs
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.
Final Submissions
Only ONE Final Submission can be made per person. Any Final Submission that does not follow the proper format will be disqualified.
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. (You may optionally also provide an IPA pronunciation. For information about IPA and processing words into IPA read this guide: IPA For English. There are also numerous phonetic translation tools online that can help.)
Final Submission Template - READ ME
Name Final Submissions must be posted exactly in the following format and in the following exact order:
Any deviation from the above will result in your name submission being disqualified. There are no exceptions to this rule - if you are worried that a name you like has not been submitted correctly, you are welcome to contact that submitter!
Example Final Submission:
Below is a copy & paste-able template for submissions! Just replace the appropriate gaps - and remember that you don't need to include IPA if you're not comfortable using it, or otherwise uncertain.
