I agree!
maybe for the late sunset and early one, it could be sunset and sunrise instead? but i think it's a clever idea!
I like that idea as well.

It was actually one of my initial ideas, but I wasn't sure if maybe it would be better to have them all as evening/sunset themed. Definitely agree that the light one could easily be a sunrise though.

Tan Blue Streak - Light Brown Green Streak- Dark Brown Violet Streak - Black Blue Streak PPS ?
Or something that is based off of: tan - light brown - dark brown - black?
They remind of a cosmic sky, but since their body patterns are similar, maybe name them based on their faces? (unless there are specific constellations in their body markings)
Freckled Cosmic Fox - Light face / Eye-lined (?) / dark eared Cosmic Fox - Eyebrow Cosmic Fox?
Naming them based on their hind legs or tails would work too!
I like that idea for both sets of foxes.

Though to me the "tan" fox looks more like cream, in which case the light brown one could be "tan" and the dark brown fox could just be "brown".
I didn't even notice the register the different facial markings on those foxes, but now that I see it I think it's a good distinction. To go with the tail suggestion it could be something like, dark sky, starry sky, and cloudy sky tails. For legs maybe cloudy hind leg, partially cloudy hind leg, and starry hind leg. Though personally I think I like the face/eye suggestions that you made the best.

I've seen the 2018 pps bumblebee bunny called bumblebun, not sure if its the most commonly accepted name, but would be good to make sure the name we pick for that bun can't get mixed up with the 2018 one;

The bird bunnies look like they are based off of real birds, didn't see any official confirmation, but
these were the guesses off of the discussion thread. Maybe work those into the names?
Will probably come back later with some actual name suggestions//
So I did some research on the difference between bumblebees and honeybees. Bumblebees have way fewer and thick yellow stripes ( I think its 3, but bunny pps recreations are not 100% accurate, and that's ok, because they are cute anyways!) So I think this bunny bee PPS should be the BumbleBun:

Honeybees have more narrow and frequent stripes! So that's why I think that this bunny bee PPS should me called HoneyBun ( It would be funny and really cool to have the name be Honey-B-Bun, idk thats just me!):

Hope this could help clear up the bunny bee confusion!

Hey everyone, sorry for the super super long break! Turns out all of us involved were rather busy, but it's time to get back to business!
You'll notice the main posts of the thread have been transferred to the account of the General Helpers Adoption Alliance - this way our whole team can edit them from now on, and we don't have to push around poor Burr all the time :'D
Most litters from the last batch have been named and added to the wiki, but I'd like to finish naming the remaining litters still up on the front page real quick before putting new ones up, as I expect posting to start off a bit slow after such a long break.
Additionally, the PPS guides from 2008-2017 are now updated to include the correct numbers and images. 2018 is complete up until November, obviously there's still a month left to fill c:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
I still need names for the February 2014 litter before I can call that year finished.
They're these cuties:

I haven't seen any suggestions for them yet; personally I've been thinking something along the lines of "Runic" / "Rune", referring to the patterns on them. The outcomes could simple be Rune Rooster / Blue Rune Hen / Yellow Rune Hen.
I also quite liked this suggestion:
WolfieJewels wrote:The January 2018 Foxes look like they have been dusted with a little color. So maybe Dusted Fennec Foxes?

<----Light Blue Dusted FF

<---- Green Dusted FF

<---- Purple Dusted FF

<---- Blue Dusted PPS FF
Personally I've been calling them Crayon Foxes in my head, maybe something like Crayon Dust or Chalk Dust could work. I'm always a fan of when a litter name makes you go "ah, THOSE!", but if y'all think going for just 'dusted' sounds better that still works just fine IMO.^^
I'd just go Blue Dusted instead of light blue, though (there's no dark blue adult, after all), and just Dusted PPS, as it's the only PPS in the litter anyway.
As for this whole litter:

I think the easiest way to avoid confusion with other bunnies would be to add "costume" to their names. Bee Costume makes it easy to tell apart from the Bumblebun, and "Butterfly Costume" would help to avoid issues with "Butterfly Bun" / "Butterbun", since that's already a firmly established name for the winged bunny lineart as a whole.
So Flower Costume / Bee Costume / Butterfly Costume / Ladybug Costume ?
I like the "cosmic foxes" name for the starry fennec litter, but the outcome names definitely seem to be tricky.
I like the tail idea for clear sky/starry sky/cloudy sky, though.

I agree, now that you say it, Blue Dusted and Dusted PPS sound way better! I also agree with the costume bunnies, since they do look like they are dressed up.

Alright, apart from two very persistent little lamb buns all previously posted litters have been named!
I've put up a few new ones in need of names - check them out here :)
A Guide to GUPPS exists now, as does one for Animal Eggs, so feel free to take a look and let us know if anything is off or looks disorganized.
I've also compiled a guide on "throwback" Christmas litters - (pets based off previous designs, pets based off items, you know 'em!) - that tells people what they're based on and when the originals were released.
They're not public yet, but once they are I'd be happy to know if they're good~
Everyone who's been helping us out thus far should know you're all very appreciated <3

Easter 2017 - Bunnies

White lamb PPS - Brown lamb PPS? Not sure if their are names like that already though! Alternatively they could be 'costumed' and therefore have that included in their litter/official names?
This litter without a doubt reminds me of an art technique called marbling - you mix water with other pigments that are oil/alcohol based and can make cool swirly patterns. Maybe something along the lines of:
Marbled Yellow - Marbled Swirl - Light Marbled? Apart from the first one (which is mostly yellow), the other two are a bit hard to distinguish by the names alone, hopefully someone else will have a suggestion too!

I think there's already a white lamb bunny, so it could be a Dusty White Lamb PPS/Off-White Lamb PPS?
For the foxes, the one in the middle could be "White Spectacled July Fox" since it has white rings around its eyes, and the one on the right could be "White Throated" since it has white all the way up to its head?
The one in the middle could also be identified by it having yellow stripe patterns on all four of its legs? I'm not sure what exactly to name it based on that, but it's an idea ^^

They do look like marbling, but I think if that were to be their litter name, we'd have to add on something like "marbled paint" or "marbled art" to avoid confusion with the marble fox litter from 2016.^^
I like Birchii's "spectacled" and "white-throated" suggestions for the outcome names, maybe the first one could be identified by the dotty pattern around the eyes?
Throwback litter guides are now up!
Quick note that I plan on replacing them, they're just a temporary addition since people commonly ask to see past Christmas litters when the new ones come out, and I wanted to have them available on time.
As a replacement I'm working on complete year-by-year guides of lookalike pets that will also include April Fool's pets and the Easter bunny versions of old pets.^^

Marbled paint is a good idea!

To build off Birchii's suggestions, I think White neck might be a bit more fitting for the one on the far right ? Or alternatively Yellow Leg (Stripes) for the one in the middle, and White forelegs for the one on the right? It's a bit of a mouthful, but just throwing out another idea ^_^
I feel like some sort of 'committee' could be set up, or a thread where users can also regularly vote on names they are likely to use if we're unable to find the 'right' name!
