Generations.. Merlings and more :D

[NerineArcticMermaid]

So I got to thinking about this and in chat we talked to..

We have a special term for our young mermaids/mermen. But waht about the rest of us?

So we have:

Merlings (male/female) 0-17
Mermaidens (female) 18-25
Merlads(male)(not sure on this one yet) 18-25
Mermaids (female) 26-59
Mermen (male) 26-59
Elders(male/female) 60+

What do you guys think?
The whole Merlads title may need work.. if you have a suggestion post it!

Personally a special title makes the whole idea more personal for some. Just as the merlings have gotten a special togetherness as the younger people of our community.. I think it would be grand to give that to all of us.. :)

I like it! It gives more depth to the Mer community. Maybe instead of Merlad for the 18-25 year old males, how about Merguy or Merdude?

We thought 9f that but somehow it didnt sound right.... but keep the suggestions coming.. we'll find the right term :-)

Mersir
Merfellow
Merfeller
Merbloke
Merbrother

I like few of those
Keep in mind it needs to fit males age 18-25
Ill have a poll in a few weeks after everyone has had a chance to discuss this
Want to make sure everyone had a chance to weigh in
