It would probably be a acronym, but for now I'll go with tratrepo

Well bonsai is, at least in my opinion, most importantly a mix of horticulture and art.... so something to do with those two words.

hortiart? Lol

Leonard?? :rolleyes:

Leonard of Quirm, a fictional Terry Pratchett character. I thought there was a chance you were familiar with him already. He would have come up with a similar name for bonsai.



"Leonard likes inventing weapons of war but refuses to believe that anyone really would use his dangerous inventions. In fact, Leonard's brain is particularly receptive to particles of raw inspiration, ideas that sleet through the universe and strike inventors' or artists' minds in the dead of the night. As such, Leonard has engineered the gonne and siege engines alongside flying machines, submarines, message encryption/decryption devices, pub game devices, and engines for making very fast coffee. Oddly enough, his creativity seems to stop when needed to give appealing names to his inventions: for example, for his machine capable of travelling submersed in a marine environment he came up with the name of "Going-Under-The-Water-Safely Device".
