TOPIC | Naming a species
Okay, so I already have two made species named Souls and Argaans but I’ve kind of, sort of made another and I’m not really sure what to name them. Okay, so story wise.

They would have been humans many centuries ago but they travelled to a new planet, inhabited it, stopped eating meat and mainly lived off the land. The planet was different than Earth, made their bodies stronger and overtime, through many generations of breeding, their bones grew thicker, they became slimmer and longer, looking almost alien to humans, they also have pretty wicked strength compared to humans, like physical.

Most of them focus on science and creating new species (until their world ended and all but one person lived). But they live small societies and/or seperate clans. They built cities and towns, some still to choose to live as simple lives away from large groups of people.

I wanted to make them like the first pioneers of space travel that left some form of Earthly dimension to escape a dying world.

I have been trying to think of a name for months tbh. I would appreciate the help.

Also sorry if this in the wrong forum posting.

how about Novans? since Nova basically translates to "a really bright star" i thought it would be fitting to their unique assets that set them apart from humans
and since novas are surrounded by 'normal' stars, i thought the normal stars could be representative of their human relatives, whereas the nova would represent them, because although they were once like humans they evolved to stand out, as the nova star is like other stars, but stands out because of it's brightness.

hopefully that made sense-
let me know what you think!
