Plus, It Was Originally Because Of Finding Nemo ...

Shit!

So much for naming my tragically sane alien “Squishy”.

Yes, it would still be feasible, but since Formerly-Known-As-Squishy’s storyline actually involves studying neurotransmitters, I may just give up and give her another name.

Plus, come to think of it, I rather like “Sparky” …

BWA. I hate it when this happens. I'm always all, "...but I was gonna use that..." and then I slink away and weep a little and shake my fist that someone already fairly well-known beat me to our unconsciously shared idea. It is a sad, sorry thing. *woecakes*

I've always liked Sparky as a generic 'hey, you boy!' nickname. You could still use Squishy but the fangirls would grumble. (I doubt Ursula would mind).

Happens to me all the time. I come up with the Greatest And Bestest Idea Ever, and then I find out someone else did it fifteen years ago. Curses!

Squishy would be hilarious because it's what I imagine Transformers calling humans.

This is about the most useless comment I could make.
