Right. Phix, Cleopatra, Sekh, Giza, Isis, Nefertiti, Sekhemet, Bastet. All ripped out of my middel school social studies textbook. Suggested by people who think a Wikipedia search constitutes ‘thinking of a unique name’
You are right though. Sphinxes were not commonly named. But this is equestria. the rules upheld in real life mythology are moot. Am I happy ‘Sphinx (character)’ is winning? Sure. Better Sphinx than Nekopatra. But at the same time it would have been nice to receive a unique and interesting roster of names, And it would have been nice if those name suggestions stood a chance.
There should have been a pole before these naming ones asking ‘should the sphinx be named at all?’ (yes) (no) because the way it is now we have potential name suggestions clashing with whether or not the name suggestions should even be suggested.
Thats why ‘sphinx (character)’ is doing so well. because ‘leave the character name as is’ is a name suggestion rather then a yes or no question.
