The Green Companion
Even though I've had this big guy for a long time now, he's in need of a new, better name. Currently he's named Odin, but it doesn't quite have the kind of strenght to it I would like.
About names in general, Nanyana's pets tend to have fairly short names that are easy and fast to pronounce. As an example she's had pets named Usva, Echo, Luna, Savu, Sumu.. Her names tend to describe her pets in some way - Usva, Savu and Sumu being foggy names for ghostly pets, Echo for Aotona, Luna for the white eagle. I'm also a big sucker for different mythologies (especially Scandinavian) and languages.
I'm hoping to find a fierce name for my dear companion in heroics and raids.

Otherwise yes, but that's going to be the name of Nani's black wolf once we get our extra stable slots. XDSaturo wrote:How about Loki, the trickster god?

Re: The Green Companion
Hermod: War-spirit
Höder: Warrior
Od: Frenzy, madness
Tyr: Victory, heroic combat
Vale: Vengeance
These are all male names, I assume that's his gender. Can dig up some female names too.
EDIT: Tor is the god of thunder, Mjölner is his hammer. I guess there's some differences between names in Germany and Sweden. :P
