I hope they make it Ebony... and they may adapt to the handicap given some time. Given the choice I'd bet they'd choose to live, too! For the names I came up with "Gimp" and "Gump". Gimp is a term used in mmo's describing a character that isn't "quite up to par" and the Gump is for Forrest Gump who taught us a few lessons regardless of his handicap. An alternative name is "Inshallah" which is an Arabic term meaning "God Willing". I'll be cheering them on over here <g>
