K...here are among many of the suggestions:

Zereshians, Grindanians, Rudonians, Voldaneans, Korganians, Dorganians, Torganians, Geranians (sounds like geraniums, haha), Konai, Majenward, Oni Kai, Dygans, Gygans, Kergans and Ba'gir.

*phew* ok, so...which ones do you like? Any? None? Then come up with some of your own, and make them good. We NEED to get this over with.

I personally like Zereshians and Konai...but take your pick.

::keeping the task simple:: I like Gygan.

I second the vote for Gygan.

Gygan works for me.

Unanimity? ::gasp:: Can't be!

Anyway, "Gygan" returns about 80 hits from Google, which is pretty good. "Gygans" doesn't return any.

If no one disagrees, I'm about ready to nail this one down. Though it'd be nice to get some feedback first. Fang? Whatchu think?

No complaints here. I think it's original, it doesn't bring anything esle to my mind right away. Except for the pre-fix Gyg, and then all that I can think about is how much I need a bigger HDD. *dream's of 120'Gyg' HDD's*

Yea...but it's "guy-gan", not "gig-an" =)

gygan works for me. Pronunciation is by region man. Don't you remember the massive debate on how to say "Io"? :p

Nah, we have a pretty set pronunciation, I should think. Io is pronounced "aye-oh" (by letter, in other words)...or at least it sounds way better than "ee-oh". But I believe in a standardization of pronunciations personally...whatever.

::STAMP::

Gygan it is.
