Dinosaur Names from Classic Kids’ TV

Are you the type of person that doesn’t like formal, serious names? Then let’s shift our attention to the more nostalgic world of Children’s TV, where you can actually find some very cool dinosaurs. Some of them might even revive some old memories of yours. Here is what I could find from three of the most known kid’s TV companies.

From Disney, the very popular classic by Jim Henson, ‘Dinosaurs’:

Charlene

Earl

Ethel

Mr. Lizard

Richfield

Robbie

Sinclair

The Baby

Let’s see some of the dino names from a more up-to-date TV show for kids, the ‘Dinotrux’ robo-dino series.

Click-clack

Reptool

Revvit

Scraptor

Skya

Ton-ton

What about the dino names from the animated film series ‘The Land Before Time’?

Cera

Chompy

Duckie

Littlefoot

Longneck

Petrie

Sharptooth

Names from the Jurassic World movie

Are you looking for dino names that sound a little more mature for your pet? Then what about dinosaur names you can get from movies? Or you can also pick a name of a famous director, actor, or even movie character from a famous movie with dinosaurs.

You can find quite a few options in the Jurassic Park/World movie franchise:

Alan

Attenborough

Blue

Bryce

Bumpy

Charlie

Chris

Crichton

Darius

Delta

Echo

Ellie

Hammond

Indominus

Indoraptor

Jeff

Laura

Macy

Malcolm

Owen

Pete

Sam

Spielberg

Tea

Vince

Or you might have a different dinosaur movie you like more. Try to watch it again and remember some of the names of the leading characters. Who knows? Maybe one of them will be perfect for your pet.

Real-Life Dinosaur Celebrities

Some people give their pet the name of a dinosaur straight up. But why not be a little more subtle when picking out a name? The names below are related to real celebrities in the dinosaur world. You will have examples of paleontologists that are behind some very amazing discoveries, but also presenters that made it so that kids love the prehistoric. All of them have their individual places in dinosaur history.

The list also contains the reason behind them becoming famous. Take a look and see if any one of them is appropriate for your pet.

Andy Day He presented the show ‘Andy’s Dinosaur Adventures’ Barnum Brown he discovered the T-Rex dinosaur Benjamin W Hawkins was the one to make the first dinosaur models Elizabeth Philpott Victorian paleontologist Jack Horner he was behind the discovery of the Maiasaurus’ nesting grounds Jack McIntosh one of the leading sauropod experts Joan Wiffen the first individual that found dinosaurs in New Zealand Karen Chin studied the first fossilized T-Rex dung Lawrence Lambe Canada’s first dino finds Luis Alvarez behind the meteorite theory of dinosaur mass extinction Mary Anning a Victorian expert in fossils Nigel Marven he was the presenter of the ‘Prehistoric Park’ Othniel Marsh named Triceratops and Stegosaurus Patricia Vicker-Rich one of the leading Australian paleontologists Richard Owen was the one that invented the name ‘dinosaur’ Roy C Andrews he was behind the discovery of the Velociraptor Ruth Mason he discovered thousands of fossils Stephen Fry He narrated the ‘March of the Dinosaurs’ Sue Hendrickson he found a T-Rex skeleton in South Dakota William Buckland he was behind the discovery of Megalosaurus William Parker Foulke he was the one to discover the first American dinosaur skeleton Zhao Xijin he named 17 dinosaur families and species

Finding The Best Dinosaur Name

When picking the best dinosaur pet name you can pick from a very wide range of different sources. From celebrity Victorian fossil searchers to names that reflect the looks of the dinosaurs, from real-life dino bones to fictional or cartoon dinosaurs, the possibilities are endless.

I hope the lists above will give you some ideas for great names for your pet. Don’t forget to go for one that is related to dinosaurs, while still reflecting the personality and looks of your pet, at least to some degree.

Triceratops are known for their namesake three-horned skull. Over the 131 years since its discovery, there have been a buttload of specimens of this celebrated ceratopsian uncovered. So many Triceratops skulls have been found that each one provides a special look at unique individuals which went through many ordeals during their lives. One of the most unusual specimens boasts the largest pair of brow horns ever recorded on a triceratops; Yoshi’s Trike.

These are the pet name I strongly believe they would give you.

Daichi ~ he's going to call you precious, or something that is precious, like lil gem or my precious one.

Sugarwara ~ sweetie, sweetness, sweet cheeks, sugar, sugarcane, sugar cube, legit anything to sugar and sweet his favourite to call you after sharing a kiss or two is sugar lips.

Tsukishima ~ anything dino related, if you're being hard headed or something like that, he's gonna call you Trike or Triceratops. If yah gonna stomp around all angry and moody, rexy, Tyrannosaurus Rex, is his go to. If you're not thinking things through and jumping to conclusions he's gonna call you Steggy or Stegosaurus. But his go to, all the time, especially if you're smaller than him is Compsognathus or Compy for short.

Tendo ~ Truffle. Hands down is going to call you truffle. 1. Because they are super hard to find and it took him so long to find you 2. He loves making chocolate truffles.

Ushijima ~ he's gonna be a cutie, and go for something totally unlike his personality and have a delicate nickname for you like snowflake.

Semi ~ he'd be standard I think, like Baby or babe to begin with anyway, but over time he will call you his rock chic, or rock and roll queen.

Atsumu ~ he's the kind to call you gorgeous or beautiful, potentially sexy legs too.

Osamu ~ you know this boy is going to call you something food related, and his love for onigiri is shown with his nickname Giri, or rice ball.

Kita ~ that boy would treasure you! So it's only right he would call you that!

2019 in Retrospect

2019 has been fairly quiet, so I decided to start off this year by looking back on it. I’ll be dividing it by main fandoms/characters/ships because this year there were actually some new ones. That hasn’t been the case since, like, 2013.

Sonic the Hedgehog

It was an...alright year for Sonic. TSR was fine but too light on content, Mario and Sonic Tokyo felt like a step down from Mario and Sonic Rio but was still alright, and I have not played SEGA Heroes (and haven’t bothered with the Chao in Space short). Lowest spot for me was the IDW comic; the Zombot arc has had one interesting story so far, but the rest has had either bad writing (primarily aimed at Shadow’s turn) or it’s just been wallowing in its bleakness in a way even Shadow the Game didn’t. Then again, I find zombie stories uninteresting to begin with, so no duh I’m not interested in a Sonic take on it.

Chaotix kind of mirror that. Vector’s managed to get a good showing in, batting 3 for 3 on the game front, and having a key role in two of them. And like I said before, the Chaotix have genuinely had the most interesting stories within the Zombot arc, although with Vector and Charmy turned this may become more limited. Speaking of though, Espio and Charmy have had weaker presences. Espio managed to get into all three games in some form but to a lesser extent (one just by name), and Charmy was really left behind.

As for Vecpio, it’s been pretty bare for canon material stuff. Espio got mentioned in TSR as contributing the report that reveals Dodon Pa’s true role (with him and Vector being the key to making everyone shut up about him being suspicious, proving they’re best as a team). And Mario and Sonic Tokyo has something if you headcanon some stuff; when Vector talks about the medals, Espio is the first person you’re directed to. Nothing is said by Vector about Espio in text, but you can implicate that Espio was chosen first because of his strong link to Vector, being the first one Vector would trust to compete at a gold level. Other than that? Dry. And with no announcements for Sonic games in 2020, this may just continue.

Crash Bandicoot

On the reverse side, we have Crash Bandicoot having a really strong year. CTR:NF came out (which is a remake of my favourite Crash game) and has been doing gangbusters. On top of this, it has been going out of its way to revive pretty much every dead character in the franchise, to the point that we have RIlla Roo back in the fold (something I genuinely didn’t think would happen 19 years beforehand).

Skipping straight to the shipping for this, I wouldn’t have imagined it for Crash ever, but there’s actually some in-game material for me to latch onto for DingodileXKomodo Joe! Dingodile has been pushed into a more jovial character since N-Sane Trilogy, being even more doubled down on in CTR:NF. However, for the past 20 years Komodo Joe has managed to avoid being given traits closer to Espio. This game finally catches up to him, and does it hard. Seriously, his character took a hard turn for the stoic badass Espio did after Heroes, and when did Joe ever use Martial Arts magic ever? Aside from making that dynamic naturally more matching, Slide Coliseum joins in the fun with the visual upgrade. It has holographic projections of a trophy girl repping a couple of racers dancing each, and guess who the devs felt could be paired up for how they go together rhythmically? That’s right, my reptile boys. Man.

Super Mario Bros

What a weak year for Mario for me. What Mario got for new games this year were Luigi’s Mansion 3 (which I’ve not played), Mario Maker 2 (which isn’t new story content and doesn’t interest me in the slightest), Yoshi’s Crafted World (which I forgot was a thing) and Mario Kart Tour/Dr Mario World (which...um).

Because of this set-up, Bowser hardly got anything to do so he’s really been on the backburner. Considering how he’s been pushed in the rest of the decade that’s saying something. In fact, the most character stuff he got was in Mario and Sonic Tokyo, and even that was mostly just alright (I think Bowser Jr got the best deal out of that).

Spyro the Dragon

Spyro was alright, but this one’s more understandable. With 2018 being the big year for Spyro’s return, 2019 was a rest for the little guy. That being said it wasn’t completely quiet; Spyro Reignited Trilogy finally got its port on the Switch, and to tie in with that Spyro got an appearance in CTR:NF.

Because of the latter point, Gnasty Gnorc got a surprisingly strong year. Not only having more people learn about his glow-up in SRT, but bringing over that petty and angry character to CTR:NF. Seriously, his bit in the grand prix intro video is great, and he has more lines in his racing quips than any other game.

OK KO

I don’t think I made a post about OK KO on Tumblr (or maybe I did one, I can’t remember). But I did manage to get into this just before it got cancelled so there’s that.

I maintain that the Sonic crossover (aka the first thing I really knew about OK KO) didn’t give me a good impression of the show.It just seemed like “here’s the Sonic and Eggman dynamic but with more cartoon shenanigans*” and it spent more time making endless Sonic references. While some were deeper cuts which actually were impressive, most were references I could see in pretty much any Sonic-referencing material. It wasn’t until I decided to look up more info on Lord Boxman sometime after because I wanted to check if N.Gin was an influence that I found out the plot of the actual show (crossover notwithstanding) was pretty nuts and way more up my alley.

Speaking of, there’s Voxman. Whereas other ships on here I have to dig through material to construct nuggets from them, this was literally in the text. And why not, they have a good dynamic and are usually the most fun to watch bounce off each other. And I still like the fact that if KO and Lord Boxman were the Sonic and Eggman parallel, the story ends with Eggman becoming Sonic’s stepfather. Let’s see IDW tell a story like that, it’d be better than the Zombot stuff.

*I think that was the point but still.

LEGO

Man I wouldn’t have thought they would have remade LEGO Racers but the one they made this year was gre--

Okay no, this year basically reignited another flame that I thought was snuffed out like 16 years ago. For a brief history of me and LEGO, when I was six I had a freestyle box which I used to make an elemental superhero persona. I played with this until I was 11. Before then, my sister got some LEGO Harry Potter sets (which we still have in the loft), I played LEGO Racers a lot (and wasn’t very good at it), and I owned two random other LEGO sets (the trike from Life on Mars and Lava from RoboRIders).

After that, I only dabbled in LEGO when there was a Sonic set done for LEGO Dimensions. I did try to play more into it, but it was really prone to crashing in certain worlds so I eventually got frustrated enough to stop playing it. Sometime in the interim though my sister started enjoying LEGO films without me knowing, so when February came around I was dragged to see LEGO Movie 2 when all I wanted to see in 2019 was Toy Story 4. Dad insisted on it since we rarely have family outings. In retrospect;

youtube

LEGO Movie 2 hit me in a way a piece of media hasn’t for years, or even decades. It’s shot up to be my third-favourite film of all time. And it’s revealed to me that LEGO is shockingly good at making endearing characters. So much so that breaking it down (pun not intended) has to be done by theme.

LEGO Movie: Part of the reason why I didn’t get into LEGO earlier was because I did see LEGO Movie back in 2014 when my sister was given it on DVD (she wasn’t into LEGO then) and I wasn’t impressed with it. In retrospect, I can appreciate what it did more, and I bring it up because it’s what makes Unikitty, Benny and Metalbeard so endearing when combined with what happened in TLM2. Lucy’s okay (moreso in the sequel), Emmet’s cute, President Business is fun but the MVP is definitely Rex Dangervest, who’s this feral monster but with Emmet buried away deep inside ready to flesh him out. When I make LEGO stories, I just have Rex change his mind on rescuing himself after getting the dinosaurs, and instead wreaking havoc in the present. This kills Emmet off in any story I do but it’s a worthy sacrifice.

LEGO City Undercover: As a video game person I’m kicking myself for not getting into this before. Frank Honey is the best; he’s adorable and weird yet still feeling very much human and basically the Emmet of his city. Rex Fury has grown on me lots since my initial assessment of him,it’s infectious how much fun he has with being a criminal (while Vinnie is more fun when not doing criminal stuff and Chan seems to be more focused on doing criminal stuff as a job. I also think his calmer side is criminally (no pun intended again) overlooked). Also Ellie is underrated, she is the best straight man you could ask for.

LEGO City Adventures: As I’ve said before, pretty much everyone in LCA is adorable, especially Duke and Harl. Still hoping for more Daisy time in the second season, she could be a riot if played properly and not just a Fendrich stooge.

Ninjago: Coming in with the hot take here; I prefer the movie version of Ninjago to the series. I think the problem with the series is that it has so much baggage from before the series started to iron out some of its issues and cliches that it’s kinda hard to get into as a new person, whereas movie Ninjago is a lot more approachable and written better off the bat (although I do see why it wouldn’t go down well with existing Ninjago fans). This all just makes me think of that moment in series 11 where Nya sees her worst fear of being normal in an artefact and it shows her movie self, almost as a take that. It just makes me think the show writers are salty about movie Nya kicking show Nya’s ass in being a better character. Also shout outs to Kai, Cole, Zane and Lloyd for being great characters as well (Jay is cute in the movie, his show self can be punted off a cliff for all I care). And I am with the movement to have Cole come out as gay (or at least bi if they want to keep Tournament of Elements I guess).

Nexo Knights: This show is regarded as another Ninjago wannabe, but it feels very different to Ninjago to me. So much so, there’s not a single one of the heroes I don’t like and they all need to be cherished. Macy gets props for being the best female character to me, Aaron is probably my favourite now and this is a house of Clance for future reference.

So, with all that being said, what do I think of the prospects for 2020? I think it’s going to be quieter than 2019 to be honest, since there’s a lot winding down, and on the game side there’s been zero announcements. Crash and Spyro having a rest is understandable, Sonic’s going to have to get past the movie before gearing up for 2021 probably (for the record I have no interest in the movie) and Mario just needs to try harder. And with OK KO dead, only LCA is holding the fort for guaranteed new content I want to engage in right now.

You know what would be fun though? Series 20 of the minifigures theme is due at the end of this year. Wouldn’t it be awesome to use the occasion to give some phsical minifigures to characters who never got them before? LIke, Rex Fury somehow still has enough demand to be a persistent feature in the customs market, give him an official figure (especially since he’s the only character from LCU that’s not Chase that’s even appeared in merch outside the game). Or let Sky Lane get her LEGO Universe look in physical form to go with her LIXS look. Or heck, finally give Rocket Racer his original look, that’s how I discovered the minifigure world in the first place!

#VEDJ-F talks #a lot #2019 #sonic the hedgehog #Crash Bandicoot #Spyro the Dragon #super mario bros #ok ko #lego #vecpio #tagging the vecpio because this is still a vecpio centric account at heart #but please I do not want lego chaotix that would just look weird

Ceratopsian Month #31 -- Triceratops horridus

Of course we’re ending this month with the most famous of the ceratopsians, the dinosaur superstar Triceratops (“three-horned face”).

Dating to the very end of the Cretaceous, between 68 and 66 million years ago, it was the most common ceratopsid in North America at the time, ranging from Alberta, Canada down to Colorado, USA. Two different species are currently recognized within the genus -- T. horridus in the older part of that time range, and T. prorsus in the younger rock layers.

It was one of the very largest ceratopsians, with the biggest individuals reaching sizes of about 7.9-9m (26’-29’6”). Many fossil remains have been found, representing growth stages from juveniles to adults (with Torosaurus speculated to represent the most fully mature individuals), and a lot of variation in exact horn and frill shape is seen between different skulls. One specimen nicknamed “Yoshi’s trike” had some of the longest brow horns of any ceratopsid, with the bony cores alone measuring 1.15m long (3′9″).

Unusually for a chasmosaur, it had a very short and solid frill with no weight-reducing holes, suggesting the structure served a much more defensive role than in other ceratopsids. Damage to the frill bones in some specimens appears to have been caused by other Triceratops, giving support to the popular depiction of these dinosaurs locking horns in fights.

Tooth-marks from the equally-famous Tyrannosaurus have also been found on Triceratops bones. Not all of these predator-prey encounters were fatal, however, with some specimens showing evidence of healing around the damaged areas.

Fossilized skin impressions show that Triceratops was scaly -- but with scales unlike those of any other known dinosaur, showing large polygonal scales interspersed with even bigger knobbly scales with odd “nipple-shaped” conical projections in their centers. It’s possible that the “nipples” may have supported larger structures (as I’ve illustrated above), but unfortunately no official scientific description of this skin has been published yet and details about it are vague.

And with this final entry, here’s the chasmosaur evolutionary tree:
