I don't know if it was ever called that by name in the movie , but in the all the "behind the scenes" books it was was what the market selling the artificial animals was nicknamed. Where the cambodian fish scale lady and Abdul Ben-Hassan(the snake man) set up shop. I believe it may have been called "Animal Row" in the script and comic book, but I think the more descrptive "animoid" became the more common nickname because it is even in the game now. Also see page 147 of Future Noir, by Paul M. Sammon.

also in the official movie magazine it was called the "Animoid Mart"...for the online version go to..

page 101 In future noir also states that....
..Animoid Row(also called "Animal Row" and "Animoid Emporium" in the shooting notes refering to the bazaarlike area where replicant animals are sold)..


most people here are familiar with the term from the westwood game.

getting a little off topic here.

how about just keeping your name, or taking upon the nexus 7 name anyway. just use the nexus [version number here] name, most people will get it.

Oh, I almost forgot:

I always thought Deckard 97 would be a good one - then when people watched the movie, and Deckard got in his elevator, they'd go, "Hey!"
