[quote=RedBear;12249976]eat is banned. it's on there but a lot of people seem to miss it so i made it bigger. i don't like using caps and numbers for the name, either. i wont do it for any of our pets but a lot of people like it.

Meriwhether or Meriwether would have worked.

RE: Ebeneezer

it worked fine for me. Perhaps you spelled it differently? Try it as I spelled it and it will work. Oh, I spelled it wrong! It's actually Ebenezer. I thought it was spelled with two e's. If you don't mind two E's, then you can use your name. Looks misspelled to me the other way .

Zer works fine, btw. The problem is NEZ. Don't think that's on the first post. yet.

UPDATE: no, it was not. Rep pts to you for the new combo.





You know, it's one of the few words misspelled that doesn't look bad. Glad it was that one and not something else. Sure wish they'd fix the problem with these small combos that I just don't get. Some of the words I can see, but not others. They are ruining a lot of my favorite names.

emanuale works. NUE is banned, perhaps you spelled it Emanueale when you tried it?

i agree, it looks fine with the extra "e". i dont think that they plan on fixing it. someone in WW decided that they were bad words.

what's this? another calm before the storm?

p.s. -- no auto lock outs allowed!!

I wanted to name my POTM "Meatball" however, the "EA" is not an accepted combo. I do not like the look of "Meetball", even though Ms. Birdy happily accepts it spelling. So my 2nd choice name (Spike) will have to work then!

[RedBear]

hi daycaremom! "Eat" is banned. I do like the name Meatball but I'd want to eat every time that I played with the pet. . Spike is a nice tough name for a bulldog!

My daughter was crushed that she could not name her chimpanzee Peanut Butter - but we found too many banned combinations to work around. We ended up naming it Jiffy for the brand of peanut butter we buy. I guess another alternative could be Skippy if that is the brand someone else buys. She is very happy with Jiffy.

[RedBear]

Oh I love the name Jiffy! We buy Jiffy PB, too! It's the best.

i always get beary beary nervous when its quiet in here. its like the calm before the storm... (will WW realize that adoptions are working and make them tougher?)

I agree with Ganz getting carried away. I tried to name my clownfish Coral, but it wouldn't let me, so now its name is Corelia. What in the world is wrong with wanting to name your webkinz after a character from a kids movie?
