What's a good name for Humar?

Unread post by Raederle »

Normally I don't have trouble naming my pets but I am totally stumped for Humar.

I generally like cute / fun names (eg Stabby the Crab, Snappy the Turtle, Elvis the (hound) Dog) but that doesn't seem to 'fit' for Humar. He's too regal.

I personally named my first one Aries, I have a feeling my horde hunters humar is probably named Aries as well, but I haven't been on her since Cata launch.
I've always seen Aries as being a fighter with black hair, black armor etc, probably due to the Hercules show. But alas...

Lajos (means famous warrior), Shadow, Ebon, Midnight, Eros,

I don't know which angle you are going for.

I usually go for God/Goddess names, any mythological figure or what not. But you can search names on http://www.babynames.com/ (they have a pet section too I believe) and search for meanings of names etc etc to get whatever you are looking for. (Hopefully)

Mine is named Nero. I have a bit of a colour theme with the names though, but like you I also felt he needed a majestic name. :)

I got him on my lowbie hunter last night. Her name is Gypsi, so I named Humar 'Romany' which is another name for gypsies.

That might not be any help. You were saying cutesy names, but you want a regal one as well? Simba? Mufasa?



Anything here maybe?

Hmm, tough one. 'Sablemane', perhaps? Sable is a black heraldic color; a more regal way of describing something as being black. Or at least I thought so.

In the cutesy category, there's Furball or Fuzzball.

Cute doesn't need an explanation.

Well when in doubt I tend to go for Hebrew or Arabic names -- I'm thinking "Melek" which means "King".

I named mine Jengi, which is a Forest Spirit in an African culture. It fits. :-)

I named mine ZachQuinto. He was so hairy and pointy and dark... and sooo handsome.
But I had to let him go. :( No room in my stables and his skin is easily attainable now that there's Pitch. :(

Now, insert my typical astronomy recommendation.
Regulus, Denebola and Algieba are all stars in Leo constellation, and all are decent pet names.
