Default Aiptasia - good or bad name for a Girl



Seriously now..

All bad thoughts aside - Would you name your daughter that, or offer it as a name to someone?

I think you're asking the wrong crowd! We all have a bad association. Would likely be a nice name if it didn't make me cringe!! lol

lol well atleast Aiptasia sounds better... it sounds like a real name, just like Chlamydia could make a good name, if it wasnt a STD hahahha.


Edit: this is some of the things i usually think about when really bored.

Seriously?

If someone introduced a child named Aiptasia I would laugh my butt out the door.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I actualy really like the sound of it, but for short she would be called Aip which doesnt sound all that nice. But hey unique names are great, so much better then the everyday names, so long as its not some weird stripper name like Coco or Apple!

names dont make strippers, parents do.

I think Aiptasia is a nice name, I also used to think Aiptasia were quite pretty and was very happy to have them...

Coralline is prettier though IME.
