Animal naming conventions

I've been working on several guidebooks detailing animals and creatures for the frontier, and I found myself at a quandry about naming creatures for the books. This has always been one thing that's always given me problems. I can come up with descriptions and information about things without too much trouble but when it comes to naming a new creature I get a headache trying to come up with names.<br /><br />One common practice seems to be to just add the planet's name in front of a real world animal (such as Thesian bulldog) which would immediately put an image of what the creature should look like and assumes that the theory of Parallel Evolution is a fact , or that terran animals have somehow been brought to the Frontier and have adapted to whatever worlds they have been transported to.<br /><br />Another practice is just to name a creature based on one of its traits, or some exaggerated feature that the creature possesses. Then there are those people who have a little scientific knowledge who might try to name a creature loosely based on its scientific classification.<br /><br />So the question is how do you name the creatures that you come up with for your adventures? Because I am stuck for names.<br /><br />(Maybe someone could come up with a really good science fiction animal name generator, or maybe even just a glossary of common prefixes or suffixes maybe with definitions that could be put together to form cool sounding names) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
