Miniphocaeibacter

Rule 9b

A later homonym of a name formed under the nomenclatural codes listed in Principle 2 cannot be used.

Recommendation 9

To form new prokaryotic names, authors are advised as follows:

1. Names that are very long or difficult to pronounce should be avoided.
2. Names should differ by at least three characters from existing names of genera or species within the same genus.
3. Languages other than Latin should be avoided when Latin equivalents exist or can be constructed by combining Latin word elements. Exceptions include names derived from local items such as foods, drinks, geographic localities, and other names for which no Latin words exist.
4. Authors should not name organisms after themselves. If names are formed from personal names, they should contain only the name of one person. They may contain the untruncated family and/or first names.
5. All personal genus names should be feminine regardless of the gender identity of the person they commemorate.
6. Names should not be deliberately contentious or abusive of any person, gender or sexual identity, race, religion, political belief, or ideology.
7. Names that include mnemonic cues are preferred because they promote learning and memory.
