Pet Naming

[Saviya]

I don't know if there's been a thread like this but I'd love to get some more ideas for names for my pets. How do you name yours? For instance...

I have three bandicoons: Bacon, Ham and Porkchop
Mongooses: Rikki, Tikki and Tavi (after the mongoose in the jungle book)
Feral Vermling: Sweetums (kinda looks like sweetums?)
Nightsaber Cub (Simon), Cornish Rex Cat (Odie), Cinder Kitten (Vidi) all because they remind me of my real cats.
Purple Puffer: Fish Stick
Clockwork Gnome: Gerard... he looks like a proper english gentleman


so, what clever names have you come up with?

[Arvelayne]

Clever? Dunno. But weird? Yes!

Here we go, in no particular order:

Tiny Harvester - Farmer Crankcase
Amethyst Spiderling - Spiderpig
Anubisath Idol - Conkers
Lost of Lordaeron - Dodgy Bedsheet
Jungle Darter - Bristow
Winterspring Cub - Snowblind
Fluxfire Feline - Cannon Cat
My three striders - Fred, Barney and Dino
Oily Slimeling - Blurgurble
Creepy Crate - Evil Toy Box
Grassland Hopper - Caine
Lil KT - Brain
My Serpent Hatchlings - Tyrion, Daenerys and Arya
Flayer Youngling - Edward
Pandaren Monk - Fen Sing
Plains Monitor - Fluffy
Terrible Turnip - Neep

And so the list goes on. Have a look at my pets on Armory, as there are many others with significant or just plain odd names.



Arve,
alt namer.

Some of my favorites:

3 Beetles: George, Paul and Ringo
Clockwork Gnome: Al Gore
Terrible Turnip: Samhain (in old days, they used turnips instead of pumpkins for Halloween)
Fossilized Hatchling: Baby of Mine
Minifernal: Luck Smiles

[Bonhomous]

I named my Porcupette Payne, because that's the trainer that I got it from.
I named my Ghostly Skull Bob because . . . well because how can you have a skull with glowing eyes and NOT call him Bob?

[Tinuthien]

Since I'm a hunter I spent so much effort naming hunter pets that I'm kind of named out and haven't even started on the battle pets... But I like to read and consequently my naming reflects that. Some ideas:
Snowy Owl - Hedwig
Stowaway Rat - Scabbers
Orange Tabby Cat - Crookshanks
Core Hound Pup - Fluffy
Emerald Whelpling - Norbert
Spring Rabbit - Bunnicula
Worg Pup - Harold
Cornish Rex Cat - Chester
Darkmoon Eye - Sauron
Sporeling Sprout - Gollum
Spawn of Onyxia - Nazgul
Venomspitter Hatchling - Shelob
Gilnean Raven - Carc
Imperial Eagle Chick - Thorondor
Dun Morogh Cub - Beorn

My husband loves music (particularly metal - I have no clue what kind) and he likes to name his pets after musicians, song titles or even lyrics. Have fun!

[Saviya]

I named my Ghostly Skull Bob because . . . well because how can you have a skull with glowing eyes and NOT call him Bob?

[Opallena]

All of my names usually have some kind of reference... mostly to TV shows/movies or books. here's some of them:

There are some exceptions... some of my pets are named after friends, and others from WoW lore (mostly the dragons)

I'm very picky with names so I've only named 3.

Baby Ape - Curious George

Gillian Raven - Poe

[Tinuthien]

I used to love the bunnicula books as a kid. Did you know they made it into a play?

No I didn't! I need to go see that. Thanks! I honestly cannot wait to have kids just so I can read them all the bizarre adventures of Harold and Chester (among other books).

[Truweildude]

some roach names, McFilthy, McFeely
some scorpid names, Hanzo, Kilo
moth names, Lavendeath, Mothra, Arthur

and a bunch more that follow my naming theme that's ends in z, Squeebz, Kreepz, Skitterz, Peckz, etc.
