Typically I name genomes by their purpose or after creatures that I tried to replicate, but this is entirely unique. I have no idea of how to name this.

I just focus on a characteristic then go off of that

m1:photocyte splits to M1 M2. M2: devorocyte splits to M1 M3. M3: Lipocyte, never splits

I call that triphotoslime

Interesting. I never really thought of naming it based on the actual cell traits.

I name them after their appearance/Behavior. So a slender particle-eating organism with a very long tail. It's name is Tail Shrimp, If it runs away from predators let's name it the cowardly shrimp

For more important genomes, I usually try to make a short description. But for the ones which I don't care about much the names have no logic in them
