The real process should be coming up with new game mechanics, then constructing a title that fits it best, whether it be from regular mythology, or previously non-conceived ideas.
Honestly, that's not the order I go in; I often times see an inspiring picture or think of a clever name and then make an appropriate mechanic to follow.  As long as the mechanic isn't forced, and has some use in the game, then it is a success.

ANYWAYs ok sorry getting away from the topic.

I suggest card contests with :

New/Original Names + background story
+1.  A contest that encourages people to invent creatures specifically for the Elements world sounds awesome.

Y'know, if we started using names of actual members of this forum (provided they have aesthetic benefits) we could make a large number of cards that are both creative, but not ridiculous.

I'm up for seeing an Ajit, or a Nepycros even. It's the thought that counts. ;)

lol its funny you say that.  I was thinking recently of making a few cards just for fun including a Scaredgirl and an Oldtrees.  But those were just for fun.

...OK now I'm set on this.  I can't wait to see what an Ajit or a Nepycros or an Old Tree look like! Let the imagination begin haha

To be honest, I think I'll just turn my Pit Demon | Pit Lord (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19934.0.html) into a Nepycros. It seems like the kind of thing I would do. :P

I voted for a combination of both.

My thinking is that the name really doesn't matter too much as long as it makes sense.  If it is original, bonus points.  If it isn't, I don't see a problem with that.  What truly matters is the dynamic between the art, gameplay, and name of a card.

I like seeing new ideas for cards.
It's true that some names and ideas aren't very original but it's still a new addition to the game.

Thanks for all the voting people :)

Now perhaps a contest to create an original creature for Elements...
