Ok, thanks for all the input on the last post. I think I am gonna keep the naming system after all. But anyway, there's another thing that I wanted to get a second opinion on. In the last two Sketch Collabs, the reviews have increasingly called for a theme. That's a bit of a dilemma.
The whole point of the Sketch Collab is that it's supposed to mimic random little doodles in the sketchpad come to life. Those little meaningless drawings you doodle in the margin of an exam sheet, the things you draw in the back of your Maths book, or all over an important piece of paper, except moving, that's what the whole idea of it is. That's the theme. To give it a second theme on top of that seems to defeat the whole underlying theme.
So, two questions, should the Sketch Collab have another theme on top of the one that we've had for that last four collabs, or not? And if yes, what sort of themes?
That second one's probably the most perplexing, because, well, how do put a theme on random doodles? I mean, it's ok it's one person's work, but a theme you can place over one person's imagination may not work at all on someone else's. I mean, without the theme, you get all the little, semi-connected ideas that you'd naturally see on a bored person's piece of paper, and that's what I imagine the true theme of the Sketch Collab to be, but if you put a theme, you limit it. It no longer becomes the Sketch Collab, it becomes the [theme of choice] collab, and we've already got so many of those, and that's not what I want the Sketch Collab to be.
tl;dr version: Should the Sketch Collab have another theme on top of the one that we've had for that last four collabs, or not? And if yes, what sort of themes?

The theme should be maybe "drawings coming alive", that way, it should be a bit less random, yet keep the original soul of the collab... not really sure though, I wouldn't see much problem in having no theme at all...
