"Starfish" or "Squirmbag"???

Hi,

I have just managed to get my head around the Swordfish pattern, and have found that there is room for a Jellyfish too with just a little extra stretching:) . However, it seems that people can't agree on what to call the next pattern up: either a "Starfish" or a "Squirmbag". Personally, I prefer the name "Starfish" because it's more in keeping with its fishy cousins. However, there's little point in me using this name if hardly anyone understands what I mean. (And yes, I know that any pattern more complex than a Jellyfish in standard 3x3 / 9x9 Sudoku must be accompanied by a simpler pattern.)

So what's the consensus on this board, please? "Starfish" or "Squirmbag"?

Cheers,
Chris

Squirmfish! Guaranteed to make everyone happy! (You would not order that in a resturant though...)
