Yes Georges, with the French spelling and pronunciation.  
Although, Red Nose Moose does have a christmasy feel doesn’t it?  
Yeah, that wouldn’t be right. And if it’s going to be a child related name it definitely has to be easter related since it was Easter the day he was born.

No, I better never catch Scoot on here, he might start getting uppity ideas about liberty and freedom and rights and stuff.

“Moose the Mooche.”

As well as being easy to remember, we will all think you are some sort of cool jazzbo.

“New Orleans Chaz” would accomplish the same thing. Or “West Coast Chaz.”

But not “Smooth Chaz.”

Only a total doofus would change to something with “The Great” in it.  
's [parent] suggests you are defined by X–may as well just have X post here.

Which leaves you with Dork Vader. What’s the attraction there?

well, scootsdad isn’t going anywhere  
and chaz the great and powerful is giving a pretty poor showing as well (and to be honest, I wasn’t all that fond of it, I just didn’t want to run afoul of the Opal Rule)  
So depending on how the voting goes until the poll closes (not expecting any great upset though) I think I’m probably going to drop scootsdad and add L. Californicus Desserticola Sithae and a moose themed name (I will decide what name) to the list  
I’m undecided if I will keep chaz TGAP\

quick question about taxnomic nomenclature, with a four part name, would it be proper to abbrieviate it as L. C. Desserticola Sithae?

Dude, really, just lose all the the noomy-poopy desert coca-cola shitty stuff. Go with ‘Chaz’, simple sweet. We will all know who you are. You lose the guest part. And you can have a cool avatar of: Charlemagne, Charles in charge or Charlie the tuna. Love it.
