As you may have noticed, the 'Eggs Galore + Guessing Game' thread has been removed. This is simply to ensure that no-one tries to edit their answers once the eggs start hatching. What you've said now goes. Just don't worry that we've gone and lost your answers On another note, now is the time for our Theme Guessing contest to officially open. Or more specifically, two themes. For this hatching the themes apply to the dragonet's names. As there are two themes to guess, there are two prizes! The two themes are split roughly 5-/50, with equal numbers of names from one theme and equal from the other. The prize amount is 100 marks for a single guessed theme - that means two 100 mark prizes! The prize is generous as I think they may be a little hard to guess, but the we wouldn't want it to be easy now, would we? There's also an additional 30 marks to the person who can tell me how the name themes are split between the dragonets All guesses are to be posted here, not PMed to either me or DS. Do you dare post up your ideas, only to have someone else guess the theme from them? Or do you wait until you are completely sure, but run the risk of someone getting the correct answer before you do so?

Hmm...I want to say Astronomy because of Ganymeth (as in Ganymede), but that same name can be applied to Greek Mythology....so I suppose those are my two ideas at the moment.

yeah I think Astronomy for one theme, but also the many names of saying how to fly or up in the air over the years. So a binding element is those up in the sky which the stars and stuff are XD.

OOh, you are both very close with Astronomy there, but you could get a little more specific. Jovia you are VERY close to the second theme too

Moons?
Ganymede & Rhea are both moons, Ganymede of Jupiter and Rhea of Saturn.
