am I or you or anyone else to review every last name to avoid funy puns? if so, I can say ban the name Caleb, as it sounds a lot like kalb=dog. (yes, I know that the word is derived from hbrew for "dog")

If I ever discover a dinosaur, I'll name it after my mom
Certainly but if you choose to go for a composite word then I believe it is best practice to ensure that it does not mean something offensive or ridiculous in one or the other language. You must agree that the case I mentioned is rather embarrassing.

Loriesaura does not mean anything strange by the way so by all means go out there and discover yourself a dinosaur :-)
