| Naming Notes | We wanted to name it Cinnamon Roll, but that was taken, so we thought about how cinnamon is a spice, and then that reminded us about the famous group The Spice Girls. However, our phage is only 1 phage, so we wanted to call it just a girl, not girls; thus, we came up with SpiceGirl. |
