Fire x Pastel name

[AjBalls]

Half the morph names are totally confusing anyways.
Whatever it is the look amazing.

Excellent point!

I'm with Raul on this one, the morph naming craze is getting out of hand. Not to mention some of the names are just horrible. Why not just call them what they are? Just as an example, bradboa was showing off his pastel kingpin that he produced and everyone jumped all over it because it was a pastel/butter/pin rather than a pastel/lesser/pin. Now it's been dubbed the "emperor pin" ... talk about confusing, eh?

I think whoever creates a new combo and announces it first should get to name it, and once it's named it should be official, no matter how crazy the name. Creating a first is an achievement, and the creator should get the honor. I hope to be the first one to make a combo one day, and I'm looking forward to naming it something ridiculous. Plus, things in this hobby are confusing enough without multiple names being thrown around for the same snake. That's my 2 cents.

There are a lot of names out there for different morphs and combos, and some people say it's confusing. It is confusing, but with a billion possibilities out there it's to be expected. The naming might get confusing, but it's still easier than saying all the different names that make up a combo. Especially once you get into 4-5 morph combos. That's just part of being involved in a hobby with SO MANY base morphs and possibilities.

what makes you think this dude was the first to produce it, because he claims it?

i mean mike and bob were the first guys to have black eyed leucys also, years ago

Umm...because he was!



I like to call morphs what they are....pastel fires, but if I had to call the fire pastel anything I like the name Nova better...

Fire pastels are my fav morph ever.

A few years back someone I know, Brandon Boeke, produced the first ever Pastel x Fire cross. He said he wanted to call it the "Nova Ball".

Now, I see people selling/displaying Pastel x Fire crosses as "FireFly's".

I don't get it. Someone renamed a morph that was already named, and other people are calling it that. Kinda upsets me because I know the guy to produce the first one, which is by far the best one I've ever seen.

Any thoughts?

Wow, I can't believe this came up. I still laugh about the conversation between them in TX that I was the 3rd wheel in. Very long night at the bar. Thanks Mike for picking up the tab. However, the hangover on the plane ride home was hell.

There is a picture for proof. It came out over a year ago before Mike's did. Though I cannot find it.

The most recent picture I can find of the pastel fire cross can be found in this thread and he says he got it from Brandon. As I said, Brandon's is by far the nicest one I'v ever seen.

I gotta hear about it through the day in TX, wish I could have heard the convo that night!

Brandon produced the first Fire/Pastel wanted to call it Nova, then him and Mike decided that Firefly would work best (in a nutshell). Sorry about the confusion on my site, I built that page a pretty long time ago, I totally forgot to change it!
