Personally I was surprised the name of the more earth like of the two planet names I suggested was so popular.

Since I never got around to voting for oceans, I'll throw my vote for these two remaining names for intermediate continents.

Hahah, I didn't know that. I suppose it makes about as much sense as the Saharan Ocean then.

Link to video.
All this world crafting and the likes reminds me of a old game. A game where you took a planet, developed it until it eventually developed life, then developed the life until it developed civilization, then developed that civilization until it made it to the industrial age, and then proceed to develop that industrial civilization until it and as many other cities had reached had developed into the last age of tech and a billion existed at that level, then said intelligent species flew off into the cosmos, leaving you to advance a new species to intelligence. Until the star proceeded to heat up to the point it was too hot and the star died.
EDIT: I cant get the video to work

Simearth. simearth my friend. one of the bases for spore
I wish I still had SimEarth. That game use to entertain me for hours. Once I left my game alone for a few hours and when I came back bamboo had conquered the planet. It evolved to grow in the ocean and covered all the landmasses. The animals had nothing to feed on because the bamboo became resistant to herbivores. I never realized bamboo had plans for global domination and I do not trust that plant anymore. I have to say though my favorite part was the Oooh Laa Laa noises every time the animals mated.

Still play SimEarth from time to time
Well, SimLife was an awesome game too 
SimEarth sounds like a game I would have enjoyed. I do not know why I never played it. When you guys were describing it, it sounded like SimLife. That is where the mix up emerged and the fact I played these games over a decade ago

I personally preferred SimEarth to SimLife, but then, I only got around to playing SimLife lonnnng after its release when it may not have held to my personal expectations of what might have been possible for a modern version. SimEarth having been played back on the SNES relatively closer to its original PC release may be getting a preference bonus from nostalgia.

Name: Galasvi
Ancestor: Svi (Airisan)
Selective pressure: competition for feeding sites, and reproductive success
Mutation: morphologically, the Galasvi is a marked departure from the Svi, exhibiting an organised body with curious radial, multi-armed-spiral symmetry. The flow of ammonia is channelled through and along the spiral grooves in the surface, where there are cillia for both catching plankton and facilitating hydrogen diffusion in the manner of gills. The interior of the spiral arms contains fluid that circulates hydrogen and stores nutrients, supporting larger body sizes. Galasvi can move slowly, using undulating cilia in contact with the seafloor, and will happily smother smaller life-forms to get a good feeding spot. Galasvi remain as toxic as their ancestors, but reproduce by simply splitting off their spiral arms, which will then grow into new spirals, bypassing any vulnerable embryonic stage.
Edit: too much at once? I'd like to go with the hydrogen circulation / increased body size above anything else ^^

I guess it's about time to get away from my Spinelo-lineage for a while, since the Thrasher is now an apex.
Organism: Shooteroid
Ancestor: Tider
Selective pressure: The need to out-develop competition and to further seperate itself from predation all together has driven the Shooteroid to adapt.
Mutation: The Shooteroid has brought forth a mutation that allows the organism to survive in much more extended periods of time without the need of the ammonia-water oceans. To do this, the shooteroid will in times of very high-tides anchor itself in the soil above the average tide line with rapidly growing root systems that dig out a hole for the Shooteroid. These root systems also absorb nutrients to supplement the Shooteroid. Once the Shooteroids are fully encassed in the muddy soil near the ocean waves, small sprouts of roots will appear from the top to soak up energy from the now fully exposed sun and light.
Got the idea of this mutation because the Tider looked like a potatoe

Name: Friendly
Ancestor: Stabby
Selective Pressure: Predation
Mutation: The ever growing refinement of the Olfactory receptors of the Stabby had an interesting result. As stabbies near to each other were able to respond to each other's chemical cues (Responding, for example, to good food or approaching predators) Friendlies have developed a primitive herd/colony response, with a rotational approach to feeding: Some friendlies remain swimming on the periphery of the group, keeping guard, able, from the removed position, to notice approaching predators and "Warn" other friendlies, and all would then swim away in a group.

Organism: Belayers
Ancestor: Hitcher (Arisian)
Selective Pressure: Dying in the core areas of floating islands, particularly by passive Executives.
Mutation: To avoid death by slowly moving towards the death-cores of floating islands, eventually being eaten by Executives, Belayers now can manually detach their hooks, rotate them, and angle them, allowing Belayers to slowly move away from the suffocating centres of floating islands (at the expense of those they use to climb out). They can also move towards less populated sections of floating islands to filter more food. In particular, Belayers climb the many roots of Executives as highways for this movement.
