I like the sounds of the name Aeryn myself (pronounced something like air-rin) but that's female and she's Sebacean -- not that there's anything wrong with that ;-) Our mascot actually looks more like Rygel the 16th, Hynerian Dominar -- apart from the beak and the big webbed feet. Okay, maybe it doesn't really look anything like him at all. Farscape is the Sci-Fi these names are coming from, BTW. http://www.farscape.com/ It's made here in Australia with US dollars and so on. Naturally enough we are only part way through season two even though season three is almost finished elsewhere. It's not a scratch on Babylon 5 but it is on tv at the moment. Allan. (ARRae) I like the blue ones.
