i always liked the idea of a rename, and would love to come with an idea for it. "umber" is natural brown or reddish-brown earth pigment that contains iron oxide and manganese oxide. what makes it interesting in this case, is that it's name comes from terra d'ombra, or earth of Umbria, the Italian name of the pigment. Umbria is a mountainous region in central Italy where the pigment was originally extracted. The word also may be related to the Latin word ombra, meaning "shadow". to connect it to something a little more nicknameish, Umbra could be the new name for the melans. "i recently just hatched an Umbra Bulbasaur" for example. as for the albino, we could go into the idea of latin. the word albus, means "light" in latin. per latin definition, Albus, also alba , can be connected towards white, pale, fair, hoary, gray. especially the "pale" part piqued my interest a few years back. my idea of albinos new name would be, alba. "i was lucky to hatch two alba pachirisus in the same party" this is my suggestion for the albino and melan ^^
