Yes i agree, people should be able to name pieces as they see fit. For Sky i tried to use 
names that seem the most commonly used. 'All the King's Men' site gives all leapers in Sky 
except the Flamingo and Lancer, with no reference to a 6-1 and 4-2 leaper. I had never seen 
the names 'tripper' and 'commuter' before, but these names are also given at 'knights tour 
notes' site, along with the lancer, on this page here http://www.ktn.freeuk.com/9a.htm#(3) 
it also has other pieces names mentioned here that are interesting. i found the name 'flamingo'
from this site here. anyway, lol, that is why there are boring names like 'threeleaper' and 
'fourleaper' etc etc :) oh here is 'All King's Men' which is a glossary of chess pieces 
from the British Variant Chess Society
