Of the last five races to be added to the game, four have latinized names that are unevocative and sound much more biology class than fantasy. Say in the case of Felid, it evokes in my mind no specific creature, but instead an abstract genus used for taxonomy. House Cat, Panther, Tiger etc might sound lame, but they are decidedly less lame than Felid in my opinion because they evoke something. Likewise with Formicid (ant) and Octopode (octopus/squid/kraken). Now that "Barachians" are in trunk I feel that the trend is getting out of hand. Let us have Blink Frog, Mountain Frog, High Frog rather than another bland Latin name. Vinestalker has been the only exception to this trend and is a pretty cool name.
I also wish Uskayaw and Hepliaklqana could get name change but can't give any reason except for they don't sound good. Old Kiku has a ridiculous name too but it has charm to it for some reason (could just be familiarity).
