- Charlie Degler = A mixed dinosaur named Charlie who is the son of Littlerock (the Great), and Nata.
What do you think?
-
I think that it sound about as unlike LBT as it can get. The rank of Dr. in LBT, "Sharptooth Hunters" etc. you are in a world totally different from LBT.
-
Really, what is all of this stuff? :huh:
Is for a fanfiction or what?
-
This is for future Land Before Time Movies.
-
The idea may or may not work.
-
The idea may or may not work.
Those characters will be in Movies 18-20.
-
Dinosaurs do not have names like that.
-
No offense pal but this all sounds completely un-LBT. Why would LBT include ANY of these things given what has already been created and stamped as the norm? This doesn't sound like LBT at all :unsure:
-

What do you think would be better names for them?

Then what would probably make it sound LBT?
-
Dinosaurs in LBT generally have names related to their species name or to their appearance or even behavior. Not always true, but this is usually the norm. For example:
Cera=comes from Triceratops
Doc=comes from Diplodocus
Ducky=comes from the fact that she's a "duckbill" dinosaur
Pterano=comes from Pteranodon
Spike=comes from "spiketail"
Bron=comes from Brontosaurus
Chomper=comes from his chomping habits
Ruby=comes from the color of her skin
We usually don't see a dinosaur with more than one named assigned to them. And the only titles that have been assigned to dinosaurs, far as I know, is "mr" and "mrs", though maybe "ms" has been used. Dr has never been used in any LBT movies far as I know. I doubt they even have doctors in the LBT world.
Here are names for some of the dinosaurs you listed that would feel more LBT-like:
Montanoceratops: Tano
Amargasaurus: Marg
Protoceratops: Proto
Monoclonius: Cloni
Each of the names is derived from the species' name. But as I said earlier, the names could be derived other ways, like if the Armagasaurus were bright red in color, perhaps the name could be Rose or Crimson.
-
If this is about anthro dinos, the names work just fine.
If this is a pure LBT based, then the names don't work.
I use species derived names, descriptive names and random names.
Examples from Twilight Valley:
Blue-Scale = blue Allosaurus
Diamondclaw = Allosaurus with crystalline claws that are literally as hard as diamond.
Rytho = derived from Corythosaurus
Austro = derived from Austroraptor
Coatal = derived from Quetzalcoatlus
Procella = Latin word meaning "storm". This character is very aggressive and violent (much like a storm).
Hasta = Latin word meaning "spear". This character is a Stegosaurus and the name references the spikes on his tail and the militaristic character o
Theta = Greek letter. Just a random name I chose because it sounded cool.
In general, just play with the species names until you get a name you like.
-------------
I'm fairly certain they don't actually have doctors as we know but some dinosaurs may have an advanced knowledge of medicinal plants like the medicine men or shamans of certain tribes.
-
Another reason the names won't work is because you basically took character names from Jurassic Park. These specific names that you suggest basically already belong to canon characters in another franchise by Universal. What it looks like is that you are just taking characters from JP and putting them into LBT and changed their species. It doesn't feel like there's really any thought put into the names.
In a fanfiction that doesn't strictly follow LBT, it might work, in an LBT/JP crossover. However, this will never happen as an actual movie. Jurassic Park and Land Before Time are intended for two different audiences. They would not blend well together.

But it's thanks to you that I can now rename the characters based on there species name or to their appearance or even behavior, Thank You.
Here are new names for these characters here:- Alan Grant a Triceratops is now named "Littlerock (the Great)"
- Billy Brennan a Montanoceratops is now named "Tano"
- Dieter Stark a Amargasaurus is now named "Marg"
- Ian Malcolm a Protoceratops is now named "Proto"
- Nick Van Owen a Monoclonius is now named "Cloni"
- Eddie Carr a Ankylosaurus is now named "Spear"
- Sarah Harding a Pteranodon is now named "Athene"
- Ellie Satler a Notoceratops is now named "Nata"
- Charlie Degler a Mixed Dinosaur is now named "Charlie"
- Enrique Cardoso a Saurolophus is now named "Hayden"
Now all I need is new names for these characters here:- A Notoceratops named Ellie Sattler who the Flattooth Herd Defender's assistent.
- A Torosaurus dinosaur named Ajay Sidhu who is a Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Pachyrhinosaurus named Robert Burke who is a Flattooth Herd Defender (teacher).
- A Arrhinoceratops named Robert Muldoon who is a Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Torosaurus named Roland Tembo who is a Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Lesothosaurus named Carter who is a beginer Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Leptoceratops named Ben Hildebrand who works for the Flattooth Herd Defender, but looks after the children who's parents have been the victiums of Sharptooth Attack.
- A Stegasaurus named Dennis Nedry who is the head guard for the Sharptooth Hunter's.
- A Camptosaurus named Donald Gennaro who works for the Sharptooth Hunter's, but looks after the children who's parents have been the victims of Sharptooth Attack.

There is another thing very unlike LBT about the setting so far, namely the fact that the characters seem to have "professions". Almost all of them are described as "sharptooth hunters". However, the way of thinking and acting of LBT characters differs very much from that of humans. There aren't really any assigned professions in LBT. There are leaders of herds and some dinsoaurs seem to have made it their task to tell stories or educate the young ones occasionally, but it is nowhere near a humans working life. Also the planteaters of LBT don't have any reason whatsoever to hunt sharpteeth. All they would want is enough to eat and to drink and being left alone by sharpteeth. It also seems to me that sharpteeth are mostly considered a fact of life rather than something to hate and persecute (a view supported mostly by the original movie and the early sequels, not quite as much by some of the later ones). While theay are safe with enough to eat and to drink there is no reason whatsoever for leafeaters to go after sharpteeth. One might perhaps construct some kind of revenge plot, but I think this is not a good basis for an LBT story. In any case it would require the main characters to be rather hate- and vengeful.
Your list of characters is a very, very long one too. Add the original LBT characters to it and the list will be even significantly longer. Do you have a plot which allows for every character to get some spotlight or are some to remain largely anonymous?

Yeah, I forgot about this. But I agree as well. There is never any indication in LBT that the leaf-eaters want to "hunt" sharpteeth. The only time we see them fight sharpteeth is to either defend themselves or another dinosaur. Only the sharpteeth would activately hunt other dinosaurs and this is just to satisfy their primal needs (eating meat since they can't eat plants), not an act of personal vengeance.

But the Sharptooth hunters are like Doc, and he's one of them, but he works alone, instead in a team.
-
Doc isn't a sharptooth hunter. He doesn't actively seeks out sharpteeth; he only fights them if someone is in danger or if he's being threatened by them, as far as I know. I never seen any real indication that he actively seeks out and attacks/kills sharpteeth who aren't even hunting/threatening anyone.

So do you think I should change the phrase "Sharptooth Hunter" into something else? Like a name for a group of dinosaurs who only fight Sharpteeth if someone is in danger or if there being threatened by the Sharpteeth themselves?
-
Maybe "Flattooth Defenders" would be good. ;)
-
Myrkin gave me a suggestion how about instead of the phrase "Sharptooth Hunter," it would be "Flattooth Defenders :wub: ." What do you think?
-
I'm not so sure if the dinosaurs would use any such a term at all. One might argue that "storyspeaker" is a term used in the LBT series, but I guess that storytelling is something that can more regularly be done. To defend anyone or anything there needs to be an attacker. If there is an attacker those who have any means of fighting the attacker (e.g. Cera's father and Littlefoot's grandfather, but even Petrie's mother in LBT 2) will defend themselves or others against the attacker. I'm not sure if that would make any of them who are doing this ascribe any title to themselves or if they did it is not certain how this would be perceived by other dinosaurs (who may have defended themselves or other before without assuming such a name).
-
No offense, but I never gave you permission to use the name "Coatal".
And I like the idea of a squad of herbivores who are as close as you can get to a self defense force for the Great Valley.
-

Sorry :( .

Thank You :wub: .

So do you think you guys can help me create new names that's related to their species name or to their appearance or even behavior for these characters here:
- A Notoceratops named Ellie Sattler who the Flattooth Herd Defender's assistent.
- An Torosaurus dinosaur named Ajay Sidhu who is a Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Pachyrhinosaurus named Robert Burke who is a Flattooth Herd Defender (teacher).
- A Arrhinoceratops named Robert Muldoon who is a Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Torosaurus named Roland Tembo who is a Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Lesothosaurus named Carter who is a beginer Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Leptoceratops named Ben Hildebrand who works for the Flattooth Herd Defender's, but looks after the children who's parents have been the victiums of Sharptooth Attack.
- A Stegasaurus named Dennis Nedry who is the head guard for the Flattooth Herd Defender's.
- A Camptosaurus named Donald Gennaro who works for the Flattooth Herd Defender's, but looks after the children who's parents have been the victims of Sharptooth Attack.
By going to this website here (http://www.jplegacy.org/home.php?load=encyc/charprof.shtml).
-
How about we add the word "Herd" so they would be called "Flattooth Herd Defenders," instead of just "Flattooth Defenders" is that a better name?
-
I really don't think they would assign any such titles to themselves at all not because of the language only (though especially assistant is a word which I doubt any dinosaur would know) but also because they just don't think in business- / job-live terms the way we do. "Profession" is a concept which dinosaurs in a world which has very few examples of material wealth or possession would probably not understand. I think a dinosaur would earn rather confused looks if he or she introduced himself to a member of the gang or anyone else as a "Flattooth Defenders assistent". Can't they be just... dinosaurs doing what live requires them to do without planning their entire life in terms the way humans do?

What do you think would be a better name than "Flattooth Herd Defenders?"
P.S. What do you think would be a better name for these characters (so it there names don't sound like from the Jurassic Park Series) here (since I can't come up with the names on my own):- A Notoceratops named Ellie Sattler who the Flattooth Herd Defenders assistent.
- An Torosaurus dinosaur named Ajay Sidhu who is a Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Pachyrhinosaurus named Robert Burke who is a Flattooth Herd Defender (teacher).

- A Torosaurus named Roland Tembo who is a Flattooth Herd Defender.

I think what Malte is trying to say is that if this story is intended to be LBT canon (within the LBT boundaries), then the group of herbivores aren't going to give their group a name at all.
-
One question I want to ask before you make any naming decisions: how close to the LBT canon is it?
-

What are you saying (it's in bold)?
-
I think the question is if you want to write a pure LBT story or one that is not in accordance with the setting and the content of the movies. Judging from what you wrote in other threads I suppose that you want your story to be strictly pure LBT (not even the tiniest chance for it to be accepted by Universals if it is not).
DarkHououmon understood me right. Why does an LBT story need for any such term at all? I really doubt the LBT dinosaurs would have any such descriptive term for a concept of job-live that doesn't really exist in the world of LBT. Unlike humans who usually identify by their job, their nationality, or the town they life in I don't think dinosaurs would usually identify as anything more specific than their species.

So if I write the plot summary, can you guys edit it, so it would be pure LBT material?
-
Depends on what you want people to do. I suppose most here would gladly share their view on what they think fits into an LBT story and what does not. I do not know if anyone is ready and willing to do anything like elaborating or doing highly time intensive editing work on a plot they receive. Many here have jobs to do and tasks to fulfill and must therefore be more miserly with their time than they would like to be. In any case most here will be happy to offer feedback, but I suppose that you will still have to write the story yourself.

(In the Quote Section, in Bold) is that what your saying in short?
-
Just what it says, I'm sure. That you may end up having the write the story yourself.
-

So I'll have to get help from outside the forum, correct?
-
What Malte was probably saying is that, yeah you can probably get help from us to develop the ideas. But that you are the one who may end up having to write it. Did you have in mind that we do all the writing for you?
-

I would be doing the writing, but you guy's would be giving me advice (details) on how the Movie, or Episode goes, OK.
-
As for that look at another part of what I wrote:
I suppose most here would gladly share their view on what they think fits into an LBT story and what does not.
I'm sure you can get feedback, advice, and help here about what you write, but there are sometimes people who want others to write their entire stories for them (which I doubt many are willing to do).
There have been some cases of people asking others to write their stories for them and then they still claimed all the credit giving none to those who actually wrote it. Anyway, that's a different topic.

If that's true then let's get back to the reason I made this topic, changing these characters names, so there related to The Land Before Time:- A Notoceratops named Ellie Sattler who the Flattooth Herd Defenders assistent.
- An Torosaurus dinosaur named Ajay Sidhu who is a Flattooth Herd Defender.
- A Pachyrhinosaurus named Robert Burke who is a Flattooth Herd Defender (teacher).

P.S. That's not my style, If I did have the others write their stories for me and I submitted then idea in, I would still give you guys credit for helping me.

What is your story about? I always decide this first before even thinking about characters. If this is an LBT fan fiction/movie then what is it about? What is the problem to be solved? Just 2 or 3 lead characters is probably all you need then flesh it out with more. But too many characters -- and your list is way too long spoil even the best story. Don't worry about naming your characters yet, but I'm a bit put off with the JP names, as posted earlier, another Universal franchise. If they're dinosaurs, why not give them LBT-esque names that e.g., tell what they look like. Such as Pterano (but don't use that for your original character!) or describe their personality.
But we can't help you unless we know...What is the story about? Who does what to whom, who wants what, what are they looking for, etc. And when and where do the LBT regulars, if any, come in during the action? Get your plot in order then work on the character list, and I would suggest trimming that cast list.

Well the personalities of the JP characters can be found here (http://www.jplegacy.org/home.php?load=encyc/charprof.shtml) after figuring out there personallity then we can find them LBT-esque names, OK.

The new characters mentioned here don't appear until the 18th movie, which is about the group wanting to see the legendary "Flattooth Herd Defender's," which only turns into a rescue mission for both Ali and Littlefoot, Ali when missing with her rescue team, and Littlefoot was kidnapped by Ozzy & Strut as bait for the others, thanks to that tratorious "Flattooth Herd Defender." Is that enough information or do I need to add more?
-
Okay I may be a little late, but I think Flattooth Defenders would be a much better name. Because Sharptooth Hunters sounds a little un-LBT. So, I'll say it again, I think Flattooth Defenders would be a better name.
EDIT: Don't mind my other post! I didn't read the whole thread when I posted! But I am a bit late.

"Flattooth Herd Defenders" because I forgot what was the other choices when you first talked about this, so I put "Flattooth defenders" instead of "Flattooth Herd Defenders." So just a little misshap on my part. "So yeah, they should be called the "Flattooth Herd Defenders."

Can you help me?
-
I'm not sure it's like dinosaurs to have last names.... especially english ones. If anything, they would be their species name like: "Littlefoot Longneck" or Cera Threehorn".

Look at the first Post and see that the characters that have had there names changed, don't have last names anymore. Just please help me change their names so there Land Before Time worthy.

Why don't you use the names you picked in the first list when you first started the topic?

The thing is that on the post that was Posted on Jan 8 2011, 01:04 PM are names from the Jurassic Park (Series), if I use them I think I'll be plagerizing, I'm not good at coming up with names for Characters on my own, which is why I need your help.

If you use characters from another series, but don't claim them as your own, then it doesn't matter.
Example: if you use Littlefoot in a Land Before Time fanfiction, it doesn't matter as long as you don't claim him or her as your character, but with fancharacters, I'd recommend getting permission from the person who first came up with the character.
-
No no no, you misunderstood me. I mean the names you used at the VERY begining of the topic. Like that list that you used when you first started this topic.

I know. I was just saying. :) Its hard coming up with names for LBT characters, you can ask anybody that has written a Land Before Time fanfiction. ;)
Maybe I should be quiet-I've used names that weren't LBT material before. :p

I know. I was just saying. :) Its hard coming up with names for LBT characters, you can ask anybody that has written a Land Before Time fanfiction. ;)
Maybe I should be quiet-I've used names that weren't LBT material before. :p
Have you written a Land Before Time fanfiction, before?

Three or four. I've forgotten, none of them were very good to be honest. I've written better fanfictions with Animals of Farthing Wood.
I'm a much better writer now than I used to be, but I can't force myself to write a 26 chapter LBT fanfiction, but I can write a 26 chapter AOFW fanfiction in about two months or less. :bang

Yeah, making new characters for a fanfic is tough. I've written some and I do have OC's but the names are hard to come up with.

If I was writing Fanfiction, I would need a team to help me, that's how bad I am.

Then don't ask me if its LBT. You'll have to find a new[er] helper. :lol:
I could give you a few ideas, but that's about it if I wasn't working on a fanfiction write now, and I'm writing it like it is an acutally book more than a fanfiction, I'm putting my brain into overdrive, so it'd be a bad idea asking me.
Anyway, if you are writing a fanfiction, I wish you luck with it. When I write an Farthing Wood fanfiction, what I do is: watch a few episodes of the tv series, and I normally get inspiration to write something different.
Maybe you could watch an LBT movie for inspiration if you need anything for a fanfiction? Watching a movie or tv series before writing a fanfiction about it is the best thing that you can do, it sometimes even helps you come up with OC's of your own, and expand on your character. :)
Maybe that's why I have more than thirty Farthing Wood OC's. Coming up with names for OC's is the hardest part of writing a fanfiction sometimes, especially if you already have plenty of ideas for a story or chapter, but you don't have any characters to add when you are already using every main character in the movie, tv series or franchise.
Like for my second AOFW fanfiction, I used one of the characters names from the tv series as [partial] inspiration for another. I used the name Ranger to come up with a name for another character called Stranger. I admit the name wasn't very original, but it worked for him only appearing in one story. ;)

It's not over yet maybe the other members havn't seen the names yet, and if that's the case then all we have to do is contact other members to take a look at the names, like Adder, Malte279, action9000, crazedwriter, DarkHououmon, f-22 "raptor" ace, NeoGenesis005, and the other members who posted onto this topic as well.
