Now, as you can see, they follow a very trivial pattern and the outside is there mainly to stabilise the middle.
I personally find it an absolutely crazy endeavour to name with "fancy" names this massive class of still lifes: it is just totally impractical and, even accounting for a "long, long, long" style naming, the variations -based on what caps you have- are so many that there is no reason to do it like that.
My proposal, although (I shall insist) the main intention is to get a rational naming system regardless of whether it is mine or not, is based on one found in chemistry.
- If the two caps are on the same side of the domino, "cis" will be the prefix. Otherwise, "trans" will be the prefix.
The next part is the name of the two caps* in alphabetical order or, in the case that they are the same, the name will be preceded by "di"
Finally, the name of the middle structure will be added
Naming of my examples, as a test:
1. cis-dieaterdomino
2. trans-dieaterdomino
3. cis-carriereaterdomino [or cis-(carrier,eater)domino]
4. trans-carriereaterdomino
5. cis-eatersnakedomino
6. trans-eatersnakedomino
7. cis-dicarrierdomino
8. trans-dicarrierdomino
The endless amount of still life thus conceived can be easily named in an unambiguous way.
EDIT: for pragmatism, check, with extended siamese carriers, trans-dissssssssssssssscarrierdomino, or alternatively trans-di15scarrierdomino:
