    Cheers everybody 🍺

    Please note the adopted numbat (John/Jane Doe) has not been named. This is killing me because everybody deserves a name for Christmas.

    Please suggest a name in the comments below and then perhaps Catfish can choose one at the end of the night. Thank you.

      Nellie. Nellie Numbat, Nellie Melba, it works for both alliteration and parochialism.

      Sir Numa Batmania. Named after Numa Pompilius, the second king of the Roman Empire, famed for wisdom and piety. He also lived a long life and retired to the countryside, which sounds like a good wish for any numbat. And obviously as an adoptee of the Melbourne thread a Melbournian themed moniker is also appropriate.

      Ok, I’m putting Wallie in contention. (Explanation available)

        I don’t think polls are available, but we could make a post or comment thread with a comment for each shortlisted name and then people could upvote names they like which should work much the same.

        Are you Catfish lemmy or aussie.zone because I didn’t know how to summon you?

          Probably both. Three accounts technically. One on .ee two on Oz. Probably easier to use the name rather than numerical ones.

      Trying to come up with something clever based upon eating Myrmidons, but they won in the end so…
