WiP: Pet Name Generator

[Acherontia]

Hai gusy. I'm working currently on a WoW pet name generator. Will work for druids too I always have a tough time naming my pets so finally made something that will give some good names.

Some example names are Grayhowl, Toughsnout, Bloodfoot, Coalwing, Venomscale, Blackmaw, and Ripgrin. Hopefully it'll be as much as an inspiration as an actual source of names!!

So far I've got the coding down for the generator itself as well as the banner, and the domain is registered.

I plan to finetune the site itself and include links to mythological, baby and pet names, as well as suggestions for humorous names and so forth. Obviously there's going to be a major link to Petopia, as I really believe anyone having anything to do with hunter pets should have it bookmarked.

Out of interest, would there be anything else people would like to see?

Here's the banner, been working on this one all day



EDIT: Project finished, http://www.wowpetnames.com --see other post on this forum for info

That's very very cool.

Nice idea! Looking forward to how this works out.
(What domain were you thinking about using, by the way? I'ma bookmark it!)

[Acherontia]

Iirc it was www.wowpetnames.com , will have to check to be sure as I've not actually worked on the site itself. So far just been coding on an HTML test bed

Well, it looks like a site under construction, so I'ma go ahead and mark it.

[Acherontia]

Yup, have double-checked and that's definitely it. Once I've got the page structure & links set I'll stick it online ^^

I'm going to guess how your script works. It has lists of word, and randomly puts two words together, aimirite?
Anyhow, is the script operational yet?

[Acherontia]

Yup, the script is working just fine, it's the page(s) itself that needs proper coding. I've not coded webpages in years so it's going to take a bit of work, and there's some features I need to learn to do, so it's definitely a WiP. But the name gen itself is definitely operational.

Sounds like a fun project then. :)

Usually when no name comes to me I'll look for name meaning sites and search up a word or attribute that I think suits the pet and see what names are associated with it. A couple example sites are http://www.20000-names.com/special_categories.htm and http://www.behindthename.com/ ... Maybe some things there would be useful or inspirational for your site?

I really look forward to trying it out. Names are one of the things I have the most trouble with. Sometimes I'll go through a few sites and still not find something that seems right so I'm always trying to find new resources that may help me find the right one or inspire me. :}
