Thanks for the suggestion, but with a silent E at the end, it seems like it might be mispronounced as Scar-wail instead of Scar-wall
I also had an idea to just spell it as Scarwall or Scarwal and just throw out the silent H altogether. They both also look pretty nice to the eye.
Final Submission: Whamurrow
What about Scarwhalle? :D It fits, it wouldn't be mispronounced, and it's slightly more subtle than "whal".
=( Sounds a lot like my Oraboro (Page 5 in case you missed it). I'm really digging Narbrawl and Scarwhal. Narbrawl really sounds great, and it's really simple, while Scarwhal brings out the Dark side of CAP9.
Narbo
Narwhal + Nothing of consequence.
Dunno. Sounds tank-y or something. I can immagine some sort of muscley animated narwhal in green swimming trunks named Narbo on a Spongebob Episode lifting a shitload of weights with Larreh teh Lobster.
Possibly Narbor to combine 'Harbor' if sounds better.
Which one you guys prefer?

Final Submissions:
Nautyss - A combination of nauta (Latin for sailor) and abyss. I figured the narwhal would be a creature capable of navigating the vast depths of the earth. "Nautis" is another form of the word "nauta" in Latin, further indicating the nature of this dude that I just made up.
Invicterra (in - VICK - tare - ah) - A conbination of invictus (Latin for unconquerable) and terra (Earth). Terra sounds similar to "terror".

A few ideas that come to mind (I'm sure they're all equally awful).
Scarrid - From Scarred and Arid, with the "arrid" being pronounced "arid"
Saharwhal - From Sahara and Narwhal.
Cerosand - From Ceros (as in rhinoceros, monoceros, etc.) and Sand.
Cornunder - From Cornu (latin for horn) and under.
Just throwing some ideas out there :)

Terradrill
Terra + Drill. Simple as that.

I'm going to throw a name out there (assuming it hasn't been suggested before)
What about Noirwhal?
Noir (nwär) is french for black and it almost sounds like Narwhal. Simplicity!!
Alternate spellings of; Noirwall, Noirwal, Noirwhall and Noirwhalle
Final Submission: Noirwal

Almost. Noir is French for "black".
As I speak french I should know this :P Yeah you're right, I wasn't thinking to hard when I wrote my suggestion, I'll go edit my post thanks!
Any other comments?
I have my support behind Narrakota and Scarwhal at the moment, though I prefer the spelling to be Scarwal without the silent H! Again a fan of the simplicity, that and Narrakota rolls of the tongue nicely!
Final Submission
DuneDrill
I think this makes a lot of sense. The narwhale is digging through sand dunes, and it has a drill. Sandunes are also on the beach, btw. Kind of like a psuedo water reference with it being a whale type too. :/

XD, I know it's really tiresome to read through all of these posts, but it's probably a good idea. On page 5, i suggested the name Narboro, but decided to drop it. It combined Narwhal with Burrow. You're more than welcome to have it (the Narbo***), I already have a final submission, but try not to post stuff that already has something similar up here already. Not just you, lots of people are doing it.
Final Submission
Mobidrill
(Moby Dick + Drill + Mobius)
It's pronounced Mow-Bee-Drill.

Electrode, Ditto, and Stratagem are all English words and names of Pokemon.
Well, I was going to make this a final submission, but since Plus wants discussion, I'm just going to throw Monstrole and Amboregris out there as options again.
Really, there's so many whale related words left to use. Anyone make a name based on Fluke? Blowhole? Perhaps go for the Futurama reference with Leelu? There seems to be a wealth of options instead of resorting to foreign roots or just tacking "Nar" onto the beginning of various words.

How about Umbreach, with breaching being when whales fling themselves out of the water just like CAP9 does out of the ground? Eh?

Take a look guys! try giving feedback on all 185(now 186 atm) of those names!
Seriously, I've had enough names so far, and some of them have really been pure jokes. Note the DISCUSSION part of the thread -- just because creating a name does not take as much effort as other parts of CAP does not mean you can flood the thread and make it worse :/. People have been bumping their names asking for advice (which is against the rules come the fuck on) because their submissions have been flooded by a bunch of other names, and there have been mass repetitions of said names already because they didn't want to sift through 9 pages of NAMES ONLY. Heck, even I wouldn't. Give everybody some space, and please fucking cut down on the names. There is no way I am allowing that many onto the poll, and the way this is going I will need to control the slates for this poll again, which I really didn't want to do for this thread. Check some of the names there, see if you like any, etc. I'm doing this for the sake of all those whiners who wanted some advice, as well as to show you how much you've already done in two days. (not in a good way >_>)
