A bunch of names wanted. :D

Unread post by Comett »

Hello! Long time no see!

A while ago I rolled a baby Worgen hunter, Mettle, to kill some time and enjoy myself. She's been going well and is levelling quite quickly (for the amount of time I spend playing her), however as I've been playing her for fun, many of the handful of pets she's accumulated so far are yet to have names. As with all my characters, I don't roleplay Mettle but she does have a bit of a backstory, as do some of her pets. If anyone has naming suggestions for any of these guys I'd greatly appreciate them!


First up is one of Mettle's first tames, the white hawkstrider! Mettle travelled to a far-away land all by herself to find and tame this handsome beast pre level-20, so this was her first major hunt. This boy is one of Mettle's "heart pets", as he is unusual, took that extra bit of effort to get, and like many Tallstriders, is very vain and topped-to-the-brim with personality and arrogance. I have two photos of him: one when he was freshly tamed, another taken tonight. I think a fancy, show-off-type name would suit him well.

Next is Mettle's moth. I haven't used it much (never had a moth before, wanted to tame one) so it's got a pretty blank slate, including gender. It seems quite shy and secretive to me though, not fond of combat, with a very middle-of-the-road type personality.

Here is another one of Mettle's "heart pets". She stumbled across the fantastic Azzere the Skyblade quite by accident on her first trip to the Southern Barrens, and he was so regal and impressive, and unlike anything Mettle had ever seen before (conservative Gilnean upbringing). This boy is incredibly cunning and intelligent, unbreakingly loyal, and Mettle describes their relationship as "two companions fighting alongside each other, not a hunter with her pet". A fittingly regal name would do him well.

(Eeeee swimming!!!)

Next was a by-chance tame. Mettle stumbled into Arash-ethis again, quite by accident and couldn't let the chance go by after such a successful and wonderful relationship with Mr Red Snake above. Honestly I haven't used her much, but I get the impression she is similar to Red Snakey in regards to intellect and battle prowess. I was sort of thinking that these two could be a pair, so maybe something to match Red Snakey's name would work well.

Finally (yes I was questing in Feralas haha) Mettle stumbled upon a handsome black wolf that, well, matches her perfectly and I couldn't pass up the chance. xD I'm very fond of this wolf... not sure if he's quite a "heart pet" like tallstrider and red snake, but he's currently in my regular lineup. Not much of a personality on him yet, though I suppose he's quite serious/gets the job done/ferocious/wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.

Image

Okay, finally, just in case that isn't enough to pump some names out of everyone! Here are a few pets that I'm considering taming and would quite like name ideas for:

Thanks very much everyone and I'll be sure to let everyone know what I decide on. n_n

Hmm, for the moth I have a couple names: Shimmerwing, Shy, Nightsky

I'll be editing this as I come up with more names for the other pets. :)

White tallstrider- Baas (African word for boss), Buckbeak (Buckbeak the hippogryph from Harry Potter, in the books hippogryphs are proud.)

Red Wind Serpent- Skywing,

For the two wind serpents, I can't help thinking of Tristan and Isolde. Isolde is described as being very fair, so it could be a very suitable name for the white wind serpent. Tristan is a knight/nobleman. :)

For the white tallstrider, I thought of the words "strut" and "swagger". These words imply someone who is very aware of how attractive they are, so they show off a bit. Sometimes, I combine words to come up with names. In this case, perhaps "Swut" (swagger+strut). Although, now that I look at it, it almost looks how a child who can't say their "l"s properly might say "slut". LOL. Hmm, perhaps scratch that idea. :lol:

For the moth, the only thing I can think of is Whisper. It's actually the first thing I thought of and it seems like the only thing that suits its personality (or at least the one it has so far).

Hmm, for the wolf, how about Bayonet? It's deadly-serious, and gets the job done. :lol:

Good luck!!! :D
