No support. Even if it did continue with the new names, scratch cat should be Peta (or Exa for no confusion with PETA) and gobo would be called Femto, or more likely, Atto to go with Scratch cat.

Anyway, their names are fine.

Pros:

1. It fits more in line with what you expect to see with the names of Scratch mascots(Giga, Tera, each being bigger and bigger number)
   

It's two different things
million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion and decillion.
femto, pico, nano, micro, milli, kilo, giga, tera, peta, and yotta

You forgot centi, deci, deca, and hecto.

doesn't matter
decillion
yeah
I never heard of that

Decimeter, decameter, and hectometer do actually exist. It's just that nobody uses them.

no. No support. It is called scracth cat as scratch is the name of the programming language. It makes sense.

(serious this time)
No support. Scratch Cat is the mascot of Scratch and if you want to change it, you would probably have to change the name of the site and everything that has to do with it.
And “scratch” itself was made to fit with “cat” in the first place.

woah really thats crazy
its almost like
they are a cat

But yeah, Scratch Cat should have a unique, descriptive name, so no support.
(I appreciate that you write both pros and cons, it makes it easier to think about your suggestions)

SCRATCH CAT
Species: cat

identity: cat
wow

W O W I didn’t know that the scratch cat was a cat

Also no support, scratch cat is the mascot

Let's call them Google, because a googol equals a 1 followed by 100 zeroes!



You know you can name sprites anything you want, right?

I'm pretty sure they do, and I'm pretty sure that has little to do with the suggestion…

As fdreerf points out, metric prefixes sound more like aliens that cats.

No one really answered my question. What are we going to with the @ScratchCat* account? We're just going to delete it? And the name @sepi is already taken. What then?

Steal it, like with Gucci on Roblox

So, what? I think it would be pretty weird to have a Scratch Team member(s) try out one of those usernames like @-sepi- or @_sepi_, but I don't know why.

And whatever would we do with the @ScratchCat* account? Delete it all?

I know that this is a joke, but that would be trademark infringement.

We could change the username, but the reason for that wouldn't be very important and would only bring us more troubles than rewards.

The name should instead be “Sepi”(Septillion)
Pros:

1. It's already a fairly commonly used name(but not as common as Scratch Cat tho)
   
2. It's less boring than “Scratch Cat”
   
3. It's easier to type out
   
4. It fits more in line with what you expect to see with the names of Scratch mascots(Giga, Tera, each being bigger and bigger number)
   

Cons:

1. Scratch Cat has been named Scratch Cat since 1.0
   
2. The name describes Scratch Cat
   

after searching 10 whole pages of topics, I can say that this has never been suggested before, not even remotely close(probably because no one's been bold enough to)

Why did you quote the OP? Forum advice: If you don't quote anything, people will assume you're responding to the OP. Quoting the OP is usually just a waste of space unless you're responding to individual lines from it.

Decillion is 10^33, also known as a Thousand Quintillion.
It's this:
1000000000000000000000000000000000

A centillion is 10^303.
It's this:
1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It's actually bigger than a googol! (but not a googolplex)

Does Scratch Cat really look like a “Kilo”, though?

Hate to break in but

i think we've all got the memo.

that was the joke

If we did rename Scratch Cat, what would happen to the account run by the Scratch Team named ScratchCat?

They could technically “change usernames” to @_sepi_, which would look weird. @sepi is already taken.
