anyone else get a bit annoyed when looking at a dragons offspring and seeing names like "ToExalt"? i don't really care much about what people name their dragons but seeing names like these on some of my prettier dragons offspring lists always makes me a bit annoyed
edit bc some people have brought it up: i try not to name my offspring bc i want people to give their dragons the names they want without having to use a scroll. i know when i was first starting out i would always deliberately buy unnamed fodder over named ones just so i could give it my own. double edged blade it seems
edit 2: i also should point out that the image that ive posted below were hatches NOT sold at fodder. i understand the risks when selling fodder dragons, but these were well above the fodder floor and still got named this. i have sold dragons at fodder, and then i expected names like that, but this was just a surprise to see on something that was definitely not a fodder priced dragon, including push prices.
edit 3: this thread was not made to be yelling at exalters or calling them lazy, rude, etc. honestly ive learned a lot about exalting through this that i never knew before. i guess what i really wanted to know is why people give dragons "silly" names like, at the time of writing this, the last commenter said "Lawnmower". i think thats funny! i just don't see why people don't pick i guess what would be considered "nice" names. again. i don't have any hate towards people who do this, i just want to know why names like "fodder" over something else. maybe the root of this is just a desperate need for a coliseum sorting update, who knows ????
edit 4: this wasn't aimed at anyone, certainly not aimed at exalters. i was just sharing a topic that some other friends had talked about in our discord and were all in pretty general agreement of.

I guess it is annoying, but it's easily avoidable if you name your dragons before selling them.

Yeah, I usually prename my offspring to avoid that happening.

@Shirotsuki i guess thats true [emoji=imperial laughing size=1] i just feel like naming before selling is a bit ehh bc i want people to name their dragons without having to get a renaming scroll. maybe its for the best though lol better that than a dragon with 8 kids named "SOUP"

It’s kind of annoying me sometimes, but it’s really not much different than naming them all splash and makes them easier to identify when you go to exalt so I understand and don’t have that big a problem with it

Names like that are just rude imo. Always best to name your offspring before selling them to prevent stuff like this.[/quote]
I wouldn't personally say it's rude. Because it could just be the exalter giving that name so they can easily separate exalt fodder from permas.
But yeah, the best way to prevent annoying names is to name your hatchlings and avoid selling for the exalt fodder prices. I have seen some "annoying names" too on my offspring list, but I don't really stare my offspring list a lot, so it doesn't bother me.

if it helps any, the vast majority of people in numerous polls have said they don't mind buying renaming scrolls if they actually intend to keep a dragon. 6kT is pretty cheap, and renaming scrolls also drop more frequently in the Coliseum these days (i've got a dozen just hanging out), so it's not really an issue. c: naming before selling is indeed the best route, since you're the one who has to see your own offspring lists. buyers aren't responsible for that.
