You bet. I adopted your idea when the book first came out and it saved me some aggravation. The first buck named ended up being wretchedly bad. It was easy to avoid him.
I mentioned your idea and the editor of RLN approves. Thanks!
If the editor would like the naming to be educational, capitals of countries might add some international flavor to the cuisine. The theme could inspire some cooking exploration too.
Thanks, but the editor of RLN prefers names of men and women, just to keep the beasties straight. When she wants more education she depends on the Campfire, like everybody else in the known universe.
In fact we usually catch a few ourselves after it's out, no matter how many times it's been gone over by both of us beforehand. Sometimes we correct them, and sometimes we don't. Depends on the typo.
