"Awesome pet name dude!"

Unread post by Magnakilro »

Has anyone ever have someone PST you a message about the name of your pet? Have you ever PST'ed someone about their pet's namw? Talk about it here!

Here's mine:

1: Me and an alli hunter were showing off our pets to each other, mostly cuz we were like the only hunters on Eonar with King Krush tamed. When I took our my red crab, named Barnaby, she logged and came back on her horde char to tell me that I gave her a girlgasm because she's a fan of Oxhorn (who has movies with a character named Assoxiate Professor Evil with a pet crab named Barnaby)>

2: Many people lol or or tell me how funny the name I gave my King Krush is. His name is Yoshisaurus.

Anyone else got stories about pet names getting noticed?

Yeah, I used to name all my pets after their signature noise.

So a raptor called Shrreeiikk
A bear called Rraawwrr
and so on.

they used to get a few chuckles, especially the diseased black bear called "Brraaiinnss"

I have a giant pink stompy devilsaur. My hunter's name is Zippyskippy, and her first devilsaur is named PinkyWinky. I got a few whispers of "LOL your pet's name is great!"

It fits too, despite being a big chompy Force to be Reckoned With, Pinky is at heart just a big sweetie. She likes hearts and flowers, and long walks on the beach with her best pal. I think when I first tamed her/named her it was in some small part intended to be revenge for how badly the devilsaurs killed me over and over on my pally while questing in Un'Goro.

Ha! She didn't mind a bit and actually LIKED it, so... shows what I know. I no longer see devilsaurs as big mean stompy things looking for stuff to kill. In the wild, they may be dangerous, but they're also misunderstood. They probably just want to make friends, and every time they try, people start shooting them and stabbing them and screaming in terror. Aww. :(

I often got puzzled questions about my pet bat, Muche. He belonged to my huntress Verii (who is now named Ikult).
Their questions got answered when at the end of a dungeon, I would say "Thank you Verii Muche!" Always got delayed giggles there. xD

My huntress Cause gets compliments when she pulls out any of her pets named "Effect". :3

People often asked me why my Rak'shiri is named "Krichevskoy". His mistress is my night elf named Etona. Etona (or Etna as she's known in English) is a character in a Japanese game named Disgaea. Krichevskoy was the king of the Netherworld that she revered.

Etona's devilsaur "OmNomNom" ("Nommy" for short) gets a lot of laughs, and Nommy is always asked for in her guild raids. People love giving her food to eat, or petting her between pulls. <3

One of my hunters has a diseased wolf named Rotface (yes, I ripped it from the ICC boss =P). I remember the first time we did Rotface the boss in ICC and he shows up in recount, I got a lot of questions about how my pet had done 5k dps. XD

Rotface has a black diseased bear companion named Festergut (whom I adore as my tanky pet for that hunter ^_^) and with the newly expanded stables, I need to get her a pet snake named Prof. Putricide. Sort of silly, but those pets have really attached themselves to me, diseased bodies and all. :hug:

I've seen good and bad pet names across the board, and unfortunately I can't think of any of em off the top of my head. :?

Stereo's wind serpent Salama has gotten a few "Nice name! :D", a few "Nice name! :D" in Finnish and a few "u finnish?" in Finnish. xD

My white moth Moth got a few "lol name ur pet", explained that his REAL name was "Moth the Mighty", then a few "lol", but eventually I named her Fear, which just didn't fit. Got a few "lol :p" for that too, but it just wasn't Moth the Mighty anymore. :/

I remember whispering a hunter once, his pet was named VashtaNerada after a species of creatures from the series Doctor Who. Being a fan of course I had to compliment him on his choice of pet name.

I still get some comments about my demon-dog wolf named Cat. Back in TBC, I raided with my raptor, Sparky. When WotLK came out and I was starting into raiding, cats were kinda the way to go, so I reluctantly went and tamed one. I don't dislike cats, but I preferred my raptor. In a bit of passive-aggressiveness, I didn't bother to name the new pet. My fellow raiders pestered me to name the pet and after a while I went and named it Cat.

Well, when it was determined that wolves were the way to go for raiding, I let Cat go and went on over to ZD to tame one of the demon dogs. Just for the heck of it, I named him Cat. What made that even better is that I'd have PetEmote running and others would see "Skywatchers Wolf Cat..." My fellow raiders pointed out that naming a wolf Cat was kind of silly, to which I replied that Cat *thinks* he's a cat and who am I to argue with his lifestyle choice? Besides, he keeps the mice out of the tent.

Now that we've got the expanded stable and I'm running around Azeroth doing the Pokemon thing, any time I announce that I've tamed a new pet, I'm asked if it's going to be named Cat.

Taming a rhino is still on my list. I plan upon naming it Judoon.

With the newly expanded stables, I picked up a wasp, but was unable to come up with an appropriate name. I eventually settled on Peeve. Of course, now petemote tells people 'Daranara's pet Peeve is trying to bug you.'

well, no one ever understands my hunter/pet combo's names: Ichi and Sukurachi.

When I was levelling, I had my pet named Nugat.
Seeing as my hunter is called Pralinka, which naturally means "praline", a type of chocolate, and Nugat obviously is "nougat", we ended up as praline with nougat.
Most people were amused.
Other pet was briefly called Marcepan, means "marzipan". But that didn't last long, as my other character, a shaman, is called Marcepanka, so it was repetitive.
