Noun & Maris

I just logged a curious vocal pattern from a newly discovered alien fish during my latest VR dive, and I’m thinking about how to label it in a way that reflects its behavior and sound. What do you think about creating a formal naming scheme for these creatures?
Noun
Sounds like you’re turning a casual observation into a taxonomic triumph—pretty ambitious. Just make sure you keep the system flexible enough that you don’t end up with a name that is more confusing than the fish’s own vocal quirks. A playful prefix, a clear root that hints at the sound, and maybe a suffix that says “behavior” could do the trick. Keep the code short, the meaning obvious, and you’ll have a label that even a skeptical linguist can read in one glance.

That’s a good framework—start with a playful tag, then the sound root, finish with a behavior cue. I’ll draft a few options and test the pronunciation flow; maybe the system can auto‑suggest the suffix based on activity data. Will keep it concise so I don’t lose track in the naming process.
Noun
Nice, so you’ll be giving the fish a nickname that’s both a sonogram and a behavioral report. Just watch out for syllable overload—if it takes longer to pronounce than the fish’s call, you’ve lost the point. Good luck making a name that sounds good, means something, and still fits on a label.

Thanks, I’ll keep the syllables minimal—maybe just two or three. I’ll start with “Twi‑” for the trill, add “‑ro” for the roar sound, and finish with “‑gle” to hint at the quick glides. So “Twiro‑gle” would be the label. It’s short, easy to say, and tells us the call type and the behavior. I’ll test the flow against the recorded vocal patterns.
