Please remember as you add names to make sure there are at least a
few ways to link *out* of the name. If you find an F12 name that has
something in common with F11, but no other significance, it probably
won't make a good name.
For instance, I see a great name, "Hippocoon," on the list already,
which has no other significance I can find beyond its connection with
F11 (also a Spartan king). That means we can't easily link *from*
Hippocoon to something else for F13, and this name will likely be cut
from the list.
The Board and I are going to have to go through these names manually,
so we do ask that you give us a hand in advance by thinking through
*each* of your name suggestions carefully, according to all the
guidelines on the wiki page. Thanks very much for your help!
