Why does it make perfect sense to call a hypo Albino a Sunglow but it makes no sense to call a hypo Snow a Moonglow. When you really think about it it makes all the sense in the world. Snowglow dosent really make sense since you are implying the albino gene twice. I'm sure some people felt the same way about Sunglows at first too. If anything lets call Sunglows Hypo Albinos, Ghosts Hypo Anerys and Moonglows Hypo Snows. What it really comes down to is why reinvent the wheel now. In six months the term Moonglow will be just as common as Sunglow and other commonly accepted morph names, and none of this will really matter. This has nothing to do with how you feel about Mark or the name he created, he produced the first living Moonglow so he gets to name it. Lets just live with the name and move on. After all its only a name.
