@Bob on BD, RA, QDA etc. I change the page for this discussion as it is not necessary to annoy Kevin.

I disagree with you last comment the problem with Bidaba, Rukhfil and Begun is that they cannot be rendered by 3D imagery.

First, Begum could inspire some imagery! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begum. I have few possible ideas around a Queen with some oriental scarf.

For the rest, it is true but you are probably the only person sensitive to that. I don't think that many people will try to re-use all the images you share every day. They are just too many, soon 200! Apart few rare exceptions (like Vivi), no one is able to remember how your Snail or Swordfish moves.

Actually, if one really wants, it is quite possible to design a compound piece such as BD or RA in 3D. For example a Bishop's head above a wheeled platform. Then, if someone recognizes the parenthood with B and D, then a name bearing some indication of the parenthood is easier to catch.
