Yes, silly discussion, but great names. And how about Oohkotokia? That means "Child of stone" in Latinized Blackfoot. What could be more apropos for an ankylosaurid? :)

But clearly the best names are Xenoposeidon and Brontomerus.

That's hardly even up for discussion, is it?

Good day to all listmembers! I would like to ask, what in your opinion is the "best" (coolest) and "worst" generic name of non-avian dinosaurs? Thank you for your thoughts, in advance! Tom
