ayoungspirit: I personally don't find the silly side all that well hidden. xD But I've also been studying this stuff since I was about thirteen, so maybe it'd be less obvious to a casual reader. I like humanizing things when possible without sacrificing rigor and, as I said, names seem pretty harmless to me.
I'll agree you have a point, however, about the public perception of personality typing. I'm not sure who we're going to sway that isn't already at least somewhat open-minded, and I imagine someone with no sense of humor who takes themselves too seriously isn't likely to even find this site. I'm fine, however, with playing it safe and going with descriptive official names, provided they're general enough not to stereotype. Either way, I'm going to continue having fun trying to think of silly names. I'll let you guys know if I come up with anything more serious as well.
Here's my first set (yes, animals again. Not quite as good as some other people's, but I wanted to give it a shot all the same):
A huge oversimplification/generalized, but I used predators for Ni/Se and herbivores for Ne/Si, as, as was pointed out, Ne/Si is not a badass pairing. Fi/Te critters are solitary and Fe/Ti are social. (Source for koalas as solitary, I had a hard time finding a solitary herbivore and koala seemed closer than moose: australianmuseum.net.au/Koala May or may not be true, not my area of expertise, but seems like a legitimate source)
(...) A huge oversimplification/generalized, but I used predators for Ni/Se and herbivores for Ne/Si, as, as was pointed out, Ne/Si is not a badass pairing. Fi/Te critters are solitary and Fe/Ti form herds. (...)
mmh... i don't agree with some points (but like you said is an oversemplification). I'm the least person possible to be part of an herd D:

Fully understood. I think I meant social...bad choice of words, my apologies. And an oversimplification certainly, I just think of Fe/Ti as generally being a bit more social. *shrugs* I didn't even realize I'd written that until I reread it. Sorry once again!
A Don't worry . I simply don't think there's a more social/least social rank between Fi or Fe, i see that is plenty of Fi users that doesn't have any problem with sociality (or don't like solitude too much). If it wasn't for the Ti definition (which I relate perfectly) i ended up thinking of being an Fi user. (in fact for mbti i am a INTJ).
(i don't know if my post makes sense, i have some retard(err)problems in english today )
Heron- You're probably right. ^_^ And you do make perfect sense, sorry for generalizing. Hmm...maybe that was a bad way of dividing. I see where this "fluffy" sorting runs into trouble. It was intended to be a major oversimplification, but perhaps it can't even be that. If you'd like, I'd be happy to take it down. I'm not trying to spread any misconceptions, and thank you for correcting mine. I think, as all the misconceptions threads sort of died, we should start one big one, for everyone, at some point.

There's no need to do this , it was only a line in a post. Nothing too serious or offensive/wrong/ohmygodwhyshewrotethatthingomygodwhyyyiamsadithinkiwillgotobedtorelaxabit.
I was thinking about a different order for the "quadras". I don't understand why my quadra is "Alpha" and is in the first place. I think the better and most impartial way to order them is in alphabetical order. So if we take first the Fx lead (because F is the first initial in alphabetical order) the order is: 1=Beta, Alpha, Delta, Gamma. This order is quite funny because if we order the quadras and the types in circles, in clockwise order, still mantaining the initial of the original quadras and putting the Fx types in the external side: EDIT:OOOPS, i did it wrong, i swapped D and G mantaining the types in the right position (i'm repairing the error)
All the opposite types are in opposite sides, and this is quite awesome. But i think we can find more coherent orders, not caring of the opposite types but the quality of the functions themselves, like the worldview lead types (NiFe, NiTe, SiFe, SiTe) could be inside the main circle and the exploring lead types (SeFi, SeTi, NeFi, NeTi) in the outer side of the circle, obviously the J leads in the circumference itself. What do you think? :3
Ok, i made another version of the second circle, i think this is better (more simmetrical). Name: "Function Quality Order - Simmetrical"
And another alternative, with the compass leads always up (i don't like it, is just for demostration purposes): Name: "Compass Up"
peppergirl Well, i wrote the reason up but reading again maybe it wasn't that clear :S I simply took the first types for quadra in alphabetical order, just because F is before of all the other initials, i took all the F leads, and then ordered them in alphabetical order again, creating a new quadra order (so, your tipe is actually at the third place). Then i realized this: if you put all the quadras at the same distance from the center of a circle clock-wise, the quadras with opposite functions are at the opposite sides of the circle, and this is awesome (at least for me), this is why your quadra is down.
