Flag
The namehoarder flag was created by user Gnunclesquared.
The dominant colors of the flag are yellow and orange. The yellow represents ambiguity and identity, and the orange represents freedom and balance. The vertical stripe on the side symbolizes the millions of names that exist, while the white stripe in the center represents the individual and the names chosen from that bank of names.
History
The term "multinomial" was first seen on Tumblr in May, 2019 on the blog Beyond MOGAI Pride Flags. An anonymous user sent in an ask inquiring about a term for someone who uses several names. "Name hoarder", "multinomial", "polynomial", "plurinomial", "pluronomial", and "name collector" were mentioned as potential identities. No flag was included in the post.
The flag was designed in October, 2020.
