I love Jamaa + Naming Rare Plushies – Part 3

Hey Jammers! I originally wasn't planning on posting at all today because I had an annoying day, but I started reading some other AJ blogs and it cheered me up, so here I am. ^_^

We're back again with part 3 of Naming Rare Plushies, but first, some new information!

There's a closed beta testing of AJ Play Wild on PC through Steam!

Meaning, that AJ Play Wild may one day be playable on your laptop or desktop computer, as well as mobile devices.

There's more information in the Help section of the AJ homepage:

(Full article here)

So, unlike the beta test of the Play Wild app back in 2014-2015, AJHQ is unsure whether or not they're actually going to open computer Play Wild in the future. But like Play Wild, there is a closed beta test of it. If you click the link above, you can learn how to sign up to test it.

You know, I usually wouldn't post about something like this because I don't pay much attention to the Play Wild app. I prefer 2D over 3D– I think Play Wild is fun, but something about the 3D animation just doesn't sit right with me.

When I learned about this closed beta testing, I didn't really care at first, but then I began to get anxious. If both AJ and AJPW were on the computer... is there enough room for them both? Will AJPW completely replace the Animal Jam we've known and loved? 

I've actually been thinking about that all day and it's made me kind of scared.

I'm not addicted to to Animal Jam, I'm typically too busy with school to play it regularly, but just knowing it exists helps me get through the week. It sounds weird, but I have a deep connection to Animal Jam. It really did inspire my love of the natural world, as cliché as that sounds, and its consistency is comforting when other things in my life are not as easy.

Right now, I'm just trying to trust that Animal Jam is a unique game, and they won't go 100% in the direction of, say, Club Penguin and entirely abandon their original product for an app. (Club Penguin Island shut down really quick, so it probably isn't even a good decision) 

Anyway, let's stay positive. Remember that Clark Stacey (CEO of AJ) said that he wants Animal Jam to be around for his grandkids. I don't associate that kind of longevity with mobile apps.

Now onto the best part of the post: Naming Rare Plushies – Part 3!!!

These are my own ideas, but as always, my favorite part of this is hearing what you think these plushies should be named!

Let's start out with elephants:

Raz / Eric

Yet another member of the sunglasses plushie crew. I bet they're best friends with the sunglasses tiger plushie (who I named Neptune)

Fredward

I have no other ideas, he's just... Fredward...

 Jasmine

For some reason I associate the color purple with the letter J, but somehow I don't think this name is very creative. Any other ideas?

Moving on, bunnies!

Pawpaw / Cherimoya

When I updated my plushie blog Berry the Koala, I named this bunny Cherimoya, but maybe the name of another odd green fruit might suffice. A pawpaw is the largest wild fruit native to North America.

Still, I think a different name might be better. Any ideas?

Jesse

Pretty sure about this one. 

Fausto

Yup.

Let's do koalas now!

Lola

As I might have mentioned before, on AJ I used to know an orange koala with Lola in their username, so this is mostly just bias. What ideas do you have?

Manic / Kevin

Kevin is his real name. Manic is his alter-ego.

Paprika

A spice that sounds cute as a name <3

Before I go do some homework, let's name the crocodiles:

Prisma

Hmm. I think this name fits, but do any of you have any more creative ideas?

Avalon

I don't know many dragon names, but this one sounds ok.

Citrus McStabbyhands

It just fits, y'know?

Thanks for reading, guys! See you all in Jamaa~ :D
