A lifeform’s creature name is, by default, the name of the lifeform. A lifeform may often change eir creature name provided no other lifeform currently has the creature name e wishes to change to.

Due to a typographical error (I think on Clucky’s part?) when adminning the proposal “Evolution”, three lifeforms currently have the creature name “Amnistar”. While it could probably be argued that this should be fixed since it was an error, it also brings up an interesting problem. Lifeforms can change their name only if the name they’re changing FROM is unique… So If someone changed TO someone else’s creature name, they would both be indefinitely stuck with that name (unless I’m reading that rule wrong somehow, but I don’t think so).
