One objection to common names is that?
many organisms may have the same common name
many common names may exist for the same organism
common name may not be familiar to an individual not speaking the language of the common name.
all of the above.

Is there a technical and common name of achondroplasia?
Is there a simple word for achondroplasia and a technical word for it?
Is there a technical and common name of achondroplasia?
Achondroplasia is the technical term and the common term 'dwarfism' is sometimes used to describe it.
Reply:Achondroplasia is a disorder of bone growth and is a type of autosomal dominant genetic disorder that is a common cause of dwarfism. Although achondroplasia literally means "without cartilage formation," the problem is not in forming cartilage but in converting it to bone, particularly in the long bones of the arms and legs. All people with achondroplasia have short stature. The average height of an adult male with achondroplasia is 131 centimeters (4 feet, 4 inches), and the average height for adult females is 124 centimeters (4 feet, 1 inch). Characteristic features of achondroplasia include an average-size trunk, short arms and legs with particularly short upper arms and thighs, limited range of motion at the elbows, and an enlarged head (macrocephaly) with a prominent forehead. Fingers are typically short and the ring finger and middle finger may diverge, giving the hand a three-pronged (trident) appearance. People with achondroplasia are generally of normal intelligence.

Reply:Looks like you've got the technical term already. I don't know of a simple term for it like with initials or anything. It's the most common form of dwarfism.

How come we have a common name for light red and light black?
Eg pink and grey in the English language, yet all the other main colours don't? Or is it just that my brain isn't functioning this afternoon and I can't think of any?
How come we have a common name for light red and light black?
I understand perfectly well what you're saying. I've always wondered about pink. I hadn't thought about grey, though.
Yes, some light colors may have other names like the ones some people wrote here but saying 'light green' or 'light blue' will always be right, whereas 'light red' or 'light black' is NEVER said.
I think it doesn't only happen in English..
A star for you..:-)
Reply:Quite a few colours are used with "pale" as well as "light", but violet and white is "mauve". Pale blue is "azure". Light brown is "auburn", "ecru ","beige", "barley" or "gossamer". Light yellow can be "lemon" ,"primrose","straw" or "cream". It often depends on the intensity of the shade.
You might be interested in reading about colours in the following article which gives the reasons why colours in English have the names which they have.
http://www.chromophilia.eu/?p=103
Reply:Light orange = apricot or peach
Light Green = mint
Light Purple = Lilac
Light brown = beige
Light Yellow = lemon
Reply:Purple -- mauve
Orange -- peach
Green -- eau de nil
Yellow -- lemon, cream
For blue we have both indigo and blue in the spectrum, the latter being a lighter form of the former.
We in fact have a dazzling array of words to describe colour in the English language -- something which we have in common with other European languages.
Reply:I think it's the latter.
Reply:I can't think of any either - too complicated for a thursday afternoon when its only a couple of hours til work finishes and the drinking starts!
Reply:The same reason we have a name for yellow mixed with blue-green. Pink and red, grey and black are different things as they are the colours mixed with white-which is also a colour.
Reply:In both cases the amount of white would determine the shade.
Reply:I'm not sure about the pink thing - your right - baby blue is the closest i can think of
By the way Black Grey and White are not colours - they are shades - its a different thing
Reply:Do we, I did not know that, tell me if you know. In my opinion red in all shades as black, are red and black. I think that is a matter of opinion. You must be some kind of an artist? Or am I missing something here with the colours, obviously? Or is this a riddle???
Reply:When we say red or black - we assume them as a medium shade so we say light or dark if we want to say other than that. Maybe crimson or scarlet is a particular shade of red.

What were common names in the 1920's and 1930's?
it's for a history assignment!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!
What were common names in the 1920's and 1930's?
The Social Security Administration web site provides the top 1000 baby names by decade.
The top 10 boys names in the 1920s (in descending order) were: Robert, John, James, William, Charles, George, Joseph, Richard, Edward and Donald. The top 10 girls names in the 1920s were: Mary, Dorothy, Helen, Betty, Margaret, Ruth, Virginia, Doris, Mildred and Frances.
The top 10 boys names in the 1930s were: Robert, James, John, William, Richard, Charles, Donald, George, Thomas and Joseph (Edward was now #12 and Thomas was not in top 10 in the previous decade). The top 10 girls names in the 1930s were: Mary, Betty, Barbara, Shirley, Patricia, Dorothy, Joan, Margaret, Nancy and Helen. There is more change in girls names from decade to decade (Barbara (#18), Shirley (#17), Patricia (#29), Joan (#60), and Nancy (#62) were not in the top 10 in the 1920s).

I just flipped through the phone book and took the first five names I saw that fit your criteria. They all happen to be English or Scottish, so if you want you characters to have different ethnicities, you'll probably have to find some last names that are a bit less common.
