Help me name this special cat :)

Unread post by Sookie »

Dear Petopians,

I need a good name for this cat. I am a huge fan of this cat model and I was really disappointed in the lack of a white version pre-patch, since the first 'saber' models I had seen. I have been keeping almost every version of this cat model in the game in my stables but none of them were what I wanted, until this baby was released. This cat was tamed as soon as possible when the patch came out and I've used it for just about everything I've done since then (and I believe this will continue for a very long time). I consider him the perfect match for my hunter and it just feels meant to be.

In short: it's my favorite pet, so it needs the perfect name.

What kind of name am I looking for? I'd like a strong name, nothing like fluffy or spot, and I prefer names that are not like common human names (george, etc.) for this pet. But also nothing extremely long, like a fancy greek deity or something. It is okay if it's a 'people name' if it's something that's not extremely like top-50 popular. Basically any name befitting a strong, loyal companion is what I'm looking for. Oh - and it can be a female name, though I am leaning towards male because of the type of name I'm looking for being more common for that gender =)

Throw any of your ideas out there pleeease! This is one pet who I want to have the perfect name :)

Here is a page with some neat Cat Deities http://www.ladyoftheflame.co.uk/Deities.htm

I found a couple that I liked and thought might fit your kitty, specifically Aker and Mafdet, they are in alphabetical order and you can take a look through and see if there are any that you like, hope it helped!

Skyblade
Snowfang
Whisper (fitting for the stealthy nature of cats)
Majesty/Majestic (sometimes the simple names work best)
Harmony

The names I came up with are meant to be graceful; this isn't some bludgeon-like fighter you have there.

List of which names I like the best from each of you:

Mau/Aker (Airwyn) - found Mau on the site you linked
Elephant/Kangaroo (Royi) - For some reason this made me also thing of just naming one 'Kanga'... random thought but I like it
Tanvir (Gorman)
Magic (Tarnfalk)
Alagos (Nefretiti)
Whisper (Cialbi)

Hmmmmm still trying to settle. I'm playing with him a lot to try to get a feel for what name I want but now I also have Sambas & Gondria in my active pets looking for names X_X

Hm, I named mine "Alastor" ... half because it sounds like alabaster, and half as DMC Dante's sword

For sure. For some reason I have a strong desire to name something Elephant now, but I haven't decided what would be a good pet for the name :P

Like if I had a seagull that would be hilarious.
