When the polls were first set up, we didn’t have a clear idea on how many submissions would be made and (at the time) the site limited polls to 10 entries. With the number of entries upped to 20 per poll, multiple rounds are no longer necessary, so a few changes are going to be made from what was announced in the initial post.
 
  1. This is the final poll. It’s still multiple choice, so you can and should vote for all the entries you like.  
  2. The #1 vote-earner will become the primary tag for the character.  
  3. The #2 vote-earner will become an alias of the primary tag.  
  4. All existing tags will become aliases of the new primary tag. This means that (for example) even if two brand-new names win for Trixie’s Mom, the Dandy Lion and Trixie’s Mom tags will still remain aliases.
     
    This poll will run for 7 days. The ballot order was randomized. Once again, votes will be monitored for sockpuppet voting and moderation will be applied as needed.
     
    Good luck to the submitters!

I wouldn’t mind if “Sphinx” is the final tag. I just hate the “(Character)” part as it’s a pain to type in every time I search, especially on mobile.

Unfortunately it seems that way. If we all voted for just one name, there might be a competition between the Sphinx and whatever other name. However, we’re all too opinionated for that it seems XD, Consider this pole a ‘Sphinx (character)’ win and a fight for second place. At this point I’ll be nicknaming the cat Jinxy in my art but tagging it ‘Sphinx (character)’
 
What really drives me up the wall is that there are like 8 suggestions in the finale that are just names ripped from Egyptian history. Bastet, Nefertiti, Sekh, Isis, Cleopatra, Giza, Rosetta and Sekhmet. Do people fell clever browsing Wikipedia for name ideas? We’ve all taken grade 6 Social Studies you guys.  
At least Catshepsut, Nekopatra, Cleo and Meowpatra are arguably original.  
Then there’s Jinxy, Sphinxy and Phix. which as far as I can tell are actually created original.

but WHY are you so opposed to the sphinx having a name? your parents named you, right? if the sphinx had parents they must have named her didnt they? ergo by basic rules of parenting the sphinx MUST have a name… i’m not even a parent yet and I fully understand that rule

It would also be nice not naming the Sphinx after a location or real life figure. It would be like naming your kid California or Napoleon.

“Sphinx (Character)” is winning, so far. That’s….. really weird. Why did people request naming the sphinx in the first place if they just choose the old “name” again now? Is it because there are so many bad ideas for her name?
