I must confess that the disease names (Marfan, Asperger, Tourette) Or 
the beast names (Dragicorn, Chupacabra, Woodwoose, Barmanou), are rather 
out of place... Especially the disease one... If you take into account 
what each of these syndromes affects, what's the message?. Since 
Werewolf, seems like mythic fauna has been set as a theme, of these new 
names I like Dragicorn the best, as the others have rather... odd 
associations (do we really want to link Fedora to a 'Sasquatch' or 
'hominid' ape? Not to mention to the bloodsucking 'Chupacabra'?).  The 
heroic character Chingachgook could be good name, but are we the last of 
our kind? Wouldn't 'Kingsport Town' infringe on copyrights due to the 
Song of the same name (by Bob Dylan for the curious)? And what's the 
reasoning behind the Mayonnaise name, anyway? I don't see Fedora being a 
'condiment' of any sort.
