I think some of mine are good. :roll:

I've named them all, except the noncombat pets.

Sometimes I used a theme, like all the frogs are named for cities in Michigan (in reference to Michigan J Frog), all the rats are named for (or using the same logic as) rats in a Terry Pratchett novel. For the cats, I used the names of pet cats my family has owned.

For others, I used mythology, fictional names that match the creature (usually :lol: ), scientific names (or portions of), and in some cases just a repeat of the name they were given in the game so I could tell which was "mine" and which was the dupe I was leveling (for instance, Chuck is named Chuck).

I figured I'd check to see if the armory showed the names of pets so I wouldn't have to log into the game and oh my... :o

The armory has my pets listed in alphabetical order by what I have named them. And since I could look at the list like that, I identified a few duplicates, which I logged in to correct.

If you're of a mood to look through the whole list, enjoy. :D

I've got loads of pet names that are just some obscure pop culture reference that I can barely remember the reasoning behind anymore:

Mary Kate the Ash Lizard
Tunstall the Lil' K.T.
Bam Bam the Pebble
Ringo the Beetle
Edmund the Adder
Gallagher the Oasis Moth
Meyer the Twilight Spider

...and a lot that are just plain stupid:

Frood Wog the Wood Frog
Hooters the Great Horned Owl
Stinkerbell the Hopling
False Swipe the Terrible Turnip
Bisque the Darkmoon Turtle

The rest are mostly lazy, to be honest (i.e. twenty different snakes named Hiss, Slither, Kaa, Fang, etc etc)

Felicity : Fel Flame
Edward : Flayer Youngling
Peter : Grasslands Cottontail

I love hearing these names, makes me miss my wonderful pets. I've been playing pokemon for years and my favorite thing about pets and pokemon is NAMING them. Here are some of my favorite, though I'm not sure how many of these are obvious.

Adder = Mad Adder
Curious Wolvar Pup = Logan
Darkmoon Zeppelin = Darksyd Ofdamoon
Fel Flame = Gaseous Clay
Ghostly Skull = Skeletore
Harpy Youngling = Gorgonzola
Jumping Spider = Jack Flash
Jungle Grub = Oheeoheeoh
Lil' Bad Wolf = Big Bad Harv
Lofty Libram = Prydn Prejudice
Ruby Sapling = Sycamorrisey
Stormwind Rat = Reepicheep
Tiny Harvester = Sorrow
Tree Python = Montree Python
Warbot = Homie
Yellow Moth = Draculabus

But my favorite pet name joke that makes me wish we could summon two pets at once are my Dark Phoenix Hatchling and my Phoenix Hatchling which are named Guy and Phawkes respectively. I only name pets I've battled and a pet will remain nameless until it has a personality. That said, I still cannot remember why I named my Terrible Turnip Casanova, but that's what happens when you play til 3am.

Oh, and the funniest name I've seen was an Emperor Crab called Ihavecrabs. I lol'd at that.

Each pet name is given great thought, some are so obscure I suspect only I find them funny, some are just cos and others are more obvious.

I have a Yorick the skull and a gull called Jonathon, may have to relook at my rabbits as am currently rereading Watership Down.

Some favs are:
Robert my Darkmoon ZEPPELIN (the Led kind)
Fizzy the Effervescent Glowfly
Throaty the Deepholme Cockroach :oops:
Downy my fell flame (sp intended)
Hickey the feverbite hatchling
Buzz my Infinite whelpling
McSteamy the Cheetah Cub - for the Grey's Anatomy fans ;) May have to become Don Draper
Wannabe the Lil Raggy
Lspace is my Lofty Libram, cos I wish I had some
Gallagher the Oasis Moth
Shaw the Sandy Petrel....
Brussel the sporeling sprout
Trench my coilfang stalker
Psyclo, the Tiny Twister
Turkeys called Noel and Gracias
The Arcane Eye is called Ichje

I could go on, but will have mercy ;) Suffice it to say each and every one is as preciously named as my kids were :P

Love these, especially the first one. Thought the same thing first time I saw the crate (what Discworld fan wouldn't?) but when it wouldn't let me name mine "The Luggage" I settled for "Carlton" (like the brand).

Similarly, I named my coilfang stalker "Noodles" because of what his legs look like, but "Eleven" is awesome for the bingo players. :)

Hah yea, it might be poor taste but that didn't stop Blizzard. There's a goblin on one of the Horde zep towers called Hin Denburg.

Oh, the humanity...
