I'm not quite sure what all your rambling was about but I did catch the main idea.

You think they should be called amel with X amount of emoryi blood, right?

well, I think this creates a problem.

Somoeone new to corn snakes, knows nothing about morphs, goes to a show and buys a corn snake.

The person he buys it from says it is an amel with emoryi blood.

I would be willing to bet that by the time the person gets home they remember amel but can't quite seem to remember that "other" thing.

So it went from being an amel with emoryi blood to an amel with something, to just an amel because they can't rememebr the other. So now they think they have an amel. Because the emoryi blood my be diluted and the snake looks like an amel they find a forum like this and say I think this is an amel what you guys think?

The people on the forum think looks like a corn, the person says they were told amel, the snake looks amel so everyone says "yes, that sure is an amel"

WRONG.

If they are told creamsicle they remember creamsicle and when they finally do a little research about their new creamsicle they find out it is a mix between corn and emoryi.



Creamsicles were originally named creamsicles for the coloration, granted, but creamsicle has since become synonymous with amel corn/emoryi hybrid and therefore automatically infers guttata/emoryi mix.

Atl east if they are called creamsicle there is never any doubt.



ten times better then crap like bloodred for a pattern trait.





So we have agreed to disagree.

My mind will not be changed and I am sure your's won't either.



And no matter what we say people will do what they will do.

Just remember whatever you call them, make sure any mix is clearly represented.
