Change name order of coloured items

[Professor Dragon]

Version 1.21.0 (Stable) has given a lot more coloured home decorating items, such as storage vessels, crocks and flower-pots. (Yay!)

SUGGESTION

• Move "the most important part" of the name to the start of the name.
• Place the colour and type at the end of the name

ISSUES

• Names are much longer now
• Names don't have the priority information at the start
• Prior examples work this way 

For example the:

• Dark brown ceramic storage vessel
  would become
• Storage vessel - dark brown ceramic
   
• Dark brown ceramic crock
  would become
• Crock - dark brown ceramic
   
• Dark brown ceramic flowerpot
  would become
• Flowerpot - dark brown ceramic

The most important part of the name is the item, and so could be prioritised.
This is more a factor now that the names have got longer to include colours.

The naming convention for the type and colour could vary - the key part of the suggestion is that the item name be moved forward.
For example, you could just as easily have:

• Flowerpot - dark brown ceramic
• Flowerpot - ceramic dark brown
• Flowerpot - dark brown

Because so far, all of the above items are ceramic, so you could leave the "ceramic" out of the name.

Format could vary if you wish, such as:

• Flowerpot (dark brown) <<< MY PREFERENCE
• Flowerpot (dark brown ceramic)

Actually, I just noticed that there is precedent for the patterned items. eg

• Storage vessel (Loam)

Compare and contrast the new default Storage Vessel with the existing Loam one.

BONUS REQUEST

Can we look into the capitalisation of names?

In the above example, I could work with:

• "Storage Vessel (Loam)" (my preference) or 
• "Storage vessel (loam)

But the mixed capitalisation is distracting.

In the same way, I always think it should be "Sprig the Survival Goods Supplier" and not "Sprig the survival goods supplier". I think they deserve it, for the all the hard work they do.

 

Thanks, Professor Dragon.

I just wanted to step in and say I fully support this suggestion

- "Storage Vessel (Dark Brown)" is a perfect naming scheme, and much better than "Dark brown ceramic storage vessel"

- Also, all names should have consistent capitalization

[LadyWYT]

Wouldn't this also make translating easier in some cases?  Given that several languages like to place the descriptive words after the object they're describing.

[Echo Weaver]

+1 on the naming scheme. "Storage Vessel (Dark Brown)" is much better.

+1 love this idea!
