You know that the telefang 1 names are really crazy.
Like 'Hat' or 'Gawerk', so i began thinking of my own names
of the e-mons.
Example: Hat=Speedog (speed+dog)

If it is not so good english, I will tell I am dutch.

I personally like the original names - as in, the REAL original names, not the badly translated bootleg ones. The fact that about 85% of these things are named after plant species adds some more WTF and FTW value to these creatures. ^^

Hat was SUPPOSED to be called Easy Dog... yes, it's a weird name.
Then there's Icecream... but I don't know what that was supposed to be.

I keep forgetting that I never did upload the correct names list.. anyway, I like all their real names, I think my favorites are the Liriope line, there are a lot of musical references in those ^_^"

Anyway, as for the listed ones...
Hat's real name is Easy Dog, as a reference to the movie Easy Rider
Gawerk is Golaking, I believe it's gorilla + koala + king
Buinika is Buinica, as a combination of Punica and .. something
Bunider is Puneedle, Punica + needle
Bi-ba-mu.. I call it Bibamu since I'm not sure what its name is referencing
Watta is a combination of Warata and watt in reference to its electricity
Enteio ... I dunno!
and Icecream is supposed to be Chamelide XP why they named it Icecream in the bootlegs, I'll never know.

Our theory is that when they saw 'Fanmachine' they read that as 'Fun Machine' and thought they were being clever by naming it Gameboy. XP
