Den in Dover says:
I tend to remember scientific names for some unknown reason and do agree there are far too many common names for the same species, but some of the accepted common names are poor choices. Back in 1970 when I first began keeping marine fish I was, and still am captivated with the Fairy basslet, Gramma loreto, when it was simply called the Royal Gramma. This was a fitting and elegant name. If it needed to be classed as a basslet then why not Royal basslet? I will never, I mean never call it other than a Royal Gramma.
