Name-frustrating ravager!

Unread post by Ziarre »

So, my troll huntress Rinfala has a ravager. She rode to Azuremyst in her 40's to tame the Death Ravager, where he promptly tried to give her a kiss eat her face.

I like him! He's pretty, he's blue, he goes well with my troll, and ravagers are charming. ...But damn if the little bugger hasn't managed to shake off every name I try to give him. I decided to try something new for Rinfala's pets, and her naming theme are two-part names, frequently descriptive--Darkclaw for his black claws, Gemstone for her faceted scales, Ashmaw for his grey hide and black teeth. While I'd like something suitable to this guy's fierce nature and vicious spikes, I'm truly at a loss. That's where you come in! I need a name for this ferocious fellow, so that he and I can go on adventures without that nagging feeling of 'but this name doesn't ffiiiitttt... :C'

Well, I don't know if this is "your style", so to speak, of names but if I can't think of a good name I name it with two words (usually from nature, but it can vary :P )

Things like Grassclaw, Starspirit, Fierceheart, Stormcry, Bouncepaw,
Feathermoon, Flameshadow, Stonesong, Runningsoul, etc.
Dunno if this helps, but it might be a good try :)

This is how my Loque got his name: Skytear. ;)

Acherontia made this handy Pet Name Generator site that follows the double word name scheme:
http://www.wowpetnames.com/

I find sometimes just refreshing the name on that page can give me ideas even if the name itself isn't exactly what I was looking for. I might take half of the name I see and connect it to a different word, or draw inspiration from the general tone of the name generated. Either way, it's great for brainstorming.

Yar, I've been refreshing that until the names start to all jumble up in my head. @_@ Combining my own ideas with it have...led here.

I'm not very good at these sorts of names, but if I tell you the best I came up with, it may help you come up with something better :) --Keentide

Looking at what others have suggested, I thought of Razortooth. I also kind of like Ripsnarl for him, though I realise Ripsnarl already exists... It just seems appropriate.

I named mine in all honesty, BlueRasberry :lol: i'll link a english-elvish translation site i know of incase you wanna use that though its very limited. One name you might perhaps like, Gorgorath which means Terror/Horror in elvish :3 I named my Chromaggus that but its also fitting for a ravager if you want to go with a savage evil name

Edit: Elvish translation site (elvish language from Dungeons and Dragons)

Ive been using it for a couple years, just a simple free site with only one page
