i find a lot of untaken names while brainstorming ideas for my own pets – so, inspired by all the other people who've done this, i'll put words i don't end up using here. if possible, let me know if you take a name.
note: i'm not sure if this will be an issue, because these are mostly obscure words and it's not like i'm the only one that could come up with them, but...i'd appreciate if you don't make these pets just to auction them. if i notice anyone doing that a lot, i'll probably remove this blog.
