Name Tyrii's Tallstrider

Unread post by Kamalia »

My Petopians hunter Tyrii tamed the lovely Strider Clutchmother last night! However... I am completely stuck on a name for her.

I'm looking for a more serious name that's short and pretty. Names that have to do with her lovely colours would be even better.
Thanks guys! :)

How about Aukua (Or you could just go with the regular spelling: Aqua)? I named my cluch mother Aukua:)

Ooh! I just had and idea - what about Opal? Or you could name her after other jemstones like Turquoise. And, if you wanted, you could mess around with the spelling like I did with my cluchmother's name. :D
Or maybe Lily? Not so much about her color, but it is a nice, short, pretty name. :)
Or Azula?

Just googled blue gemstones....
Lapis Lazuli - you could go with either Lapis or Lazuli. This one's more of a dark blue color though... :?
Aquamarine - a very pretty gemstone that matches your strider's color.
Sapphire - more of a dark blue, but it might work.

Lovely suggestions! So far I'm really liking Opal and Lily... the meanings behind the names in your list is fantastic, Teigan, but I'm afraid I'm having a bit of trouble pronouncing the majority of them. :?

I named mine Mizu on both my hunters. It's Japanese for water. You're welcome to it, if you think it fits. :)
