What about strawberry milkshake as a name for the new baby?

The new tiny beeb has been granted approval from @its-a-beautful-day to use their name: Star!

Star designed this especially adorable logo for me (as well as another that's more of an 80s theme) and they also make stickers, art prints, and 3D art. I adore them, please go follow them and get yourself some cute-cute stickers.

Strawberry Milkshake is an absolutely precious name, though, and if you don't mind I'll be tucking that in my pocket for one of my holdback babies this year. I have a couple of particularly cute candidates in mind who could fit this moniker very well.

Tytiênhelę - f (Vietnamese + Chinese) beautiful snake fairy of the water lilies

The element tiên also means "immortal, transcendent, fairy, celestial being, otherworldly being" so this name doesn't have to be exclusive to fairy characters.

Does anyone recognize the artist for this gif? Found it on giphy and I want to give credit!

Dangle Fangle is a simple snake, but has one of the tamer names. We've also got Poodle Noodle, Nakey Snakey, and F N E K, with the spaces included, but that's beyond the matter of what I am doing here which is making myself such a direct nuisance that instead of dodging me they are forced to deal with the issue through communication where I have the high ground. We all know that if I wanted to cause harm, I would hAvE dOnE sO aLrEaDy, but there's no fun in that! Whittling down their pride! -Eris

I personally find immense fun in doing harm - but I do understand the need for more diplomatic measures. Indeed, whittling down pride is a form of harm. 

These poor snakes and these absurd names. Very well, I suppose if they do not like them, they would not answer to them. I never claimed snakes had good taste. 

You lot have fun.
