I'm not against it, but I'm curious about the reasoning.
We need more female users, as the developers are only male, we should at
least have a femal mascot ;-). I simply like the name that was first
proposed in bug 135.
Sounds slightly sexist, we should hope for more female users and
developers instead :-) Anyway, Lydia isn't bad, but inspires me to suggest
Lyxia ... However, that bug seems "resolved" to 'The LyX' ?

I put together some notes (and a photo of a real platypus!) here

The page could useful if we start a discussion/vote on a new name.
