I completely agree to specify the full version. I also agree to
hide those codenames because I don't like the OXYMORON series
personally. However, if they are cute, graceful, impartial,
loving and peaceful, it is too good to be thrown away. There
might not be such ones, though. Anyway, no one will oppose it
if it can be customized, I think.
