Because different places have different names, even if they all speak English. Take for instance the insect Americans call the Ladybug, in the UK, that insect is more commonly called a Ladybird, and that is only one example, in America "daddy longlegs" are Harvestmen, in the UK they refer to crane flies, etc.

Why are common names not a good reference to a species?

Common names can vary widely by region and language, leading to confusion and misidentification of species. For instance, one common name may refer to multiple species in different areas, while different common names may refer to the same species. This inconsistency makes it difficult for scientists and researchers to communicate clearly about specific organisms. In contrast, scientific names follow a standardized binomial nomenclature, providing a unique and universally accepted reference for each species.

Why is it not a good idea to use common names when describing organisms?

Because names for organisms can vary from place to place since there is no universal name for them other than scientific names, or could mean something completely different to certain people than what you intended. It is also open to cause misunderstanding; for instance, if someone were to say 'fox-glove' to a person with no previous knowledge of the plant, it would only serve to confuse - "you make foxes gloves?".

What is a good coed name?

Alex is a pretty good coed name, but it is common. It depends if you like common names or names that are scarcely used. I would also say Casey/Cassie, Jessy/Jessie, Morgon/Morgan, Danny/Dani, Terry/Teri Aaron/Erin, Jordan, Taylor, Skylar, Riley, Angel, Jaden, Adrian, and Devon . Type in something like, "unisex names," "popular unisex names," or "common unisex names" for much more results.
