#multinominal

[pt: our old nomicorvid flags end pt]

coined 2/9/2024 on the LGBTA+ Wiki Central Discord server

Just going through and updating our blog with our older flags. This post features nomicorvid (coined by Elkfeathers)!

nomicorvid, nomicrow light | nomicorvid, nomicrow dark

[alt text: (left image) a rectangular flag with five diamond stripes; the colors are, from innermost to outermost: white, light yellow, mid-light yellow-orange, mid light-ish orange, black; centered in the flag is a black, simplistic bird face

(right image) identical to the left flag, but has a heavy black overlay end alt text]

nomicorvid or nomicrow (def source): "a termcollector identity that describes an individual who collects names and/or identities, like how corvids may collect items"

Seeing as collecting and hoarding terms tend to have bird-related names and noting that namecollector doesn't have any yet, I propose to you: Kestrelcollector and Kestrelhoarder as alternative terms to namecollector and namehoarder.

But why Kestrel?

That's good question :D I chose kestrel because in german this bird has least 7 different names. In english I also found at least 7 names for it. So you could argue that it's collecting names - just not consciously and of it's own will. So I'd say it's a decent pick for a term related to name collecting. :D

And I'll throw a bird-y flag design on top of the proposal pile :D It's based of the existing orange yellow namecollector / namehoarder flags and the rhombi hoarder / collector flags.

Alt. Abronominal /Namefluid / Nomifluid flags

This is based off of this Namefluid flag, but edited to be more similar to other Abro- flags color-wise since I use that term over Namefluid / Nomifluid (though you're welcome to use it if you prefer those terms!) and also for sight disability reasons

The first flag has a plain white second stripe and the second has a slight tint on it to make it less bright those who find that format more accessible!

Genderfluid, Pronounfluid, Nomifluid, Kinfluid, Xenogender, Voidpunk, Polykin, Multinominal Combo Flag

✖ Requested by Anon

Multifour is a term that refers to someone who is multigender, multisexual and/or m-spec in general, multipronominal, and multinominal. One's name, pronouns, gender, and orientation be fluid or static, situational or non-situational, etc. As long as one's labels and identity fall under the umbrella of all of these terms, they may use it.

Similar terms include Fluid-fluid-fluid, a combination term for name/pronoun/and genderfluid individuals.

My favorite name for myself has been Jack for some years, then it was Ghost for about a year, and now I’m thinking I’m liking Wil the best. (Yes, those last two are related to the Dream SMP characters. The first one isn’t.) Typing this out, I’m realizing how my “main names” have always referred to my identity or interests.

I’ve only asked people to change names twice though, and that was before I was a name collector. I don’t want to bother people. Don’t even get me started on getting people to call you multiple names at once; I’d never try asking.

I suppose Jack is as good of a name as any. But what if I just... changed my screen name to Wil with no comment. Maybe I’ll just put Wil first before the other names, since I still like all my other names as well.

Me: Communication is key! Also me: *doesn’t communicate*

I really hope this flag isn’t similar to anything!

So this is the flag for being multinominal like me, so having more than one name!

The blue represents masc names, pink represents fem names, purple represents unisex names, and the yellow represents completely neutral names! It’s all pastel because i just like pastels -u-

Namefluidity: when your name changes; having fluctuating name(s).

This could be also known as abronominal. Similar to multinominal (having multiple names for yourself, polynominal/plurinominal).
