å = The o in 'or'.
ä = The a in 'and'.
ö = The u in 'murder', pronounced in British English. "Mu-dah", kind of.

I'm working on a Muppet theme for my hunter in Electric Mayhem. So far I have Fozzie and Rowlf.

I JUST went and checked Deviantart, and a new update fits this perfectly:

I didn't really have a theme in mind for my current pets, but two of them ended up named after Transformers anyway -- Scoponok and Ironhide. I was planning on a Waspinator too, once I have the room for him.
I did kind of want to make a Troll Hunter named Soundwave, with his pets named after his tapes: Laserbeak, Buzzsaw (carrion birds), Ravage (black panther), Rumble, Frenzy (little hyper ... things), Ratbat (a bat, duh)
My boyfriend has a Troll Hunter, Sebastion, who gave all his pets musical names: Drum the crab, Treble the Wolf and Requiem the Owl so far.

My current baby alt hunter (Jasmon) has all Legend of Zelda related pets, so I'll stick with that theme for now. cx
Deathly, on the other hand... She really doesn't HAVE a theme. I really don't think she ever will, unless I name all her pets after Potter characters or somethin'.

My main hunter's pets have all been named after weapons: Shamshir (red lynx), Khopesh (Humar), Zhanmadao (black devilsaur), Tonfa (Rotting Agam'ar), Kestros (Dire Raven), ClaidhMhor (Vargul Blighthound), and Dart (Blacksting).

A fun idea for a naming scheme would be to collect rare spawn pets and name them for
different rare spawn pets.

Not to mention confusing.

One idea I have had is to draw inspiration from the periodic table of elements. Not only do I think this would be a great idea for any science buffs out there, but I also think it would be very appropriate, theme-wise, for any engineering hunters out there or future goblin hunters as well!
The periodic table consists of 103 listed elements (just pick your favorites) so no two hunters could be 100% the same when it comes to naming their pets. You could even alter the spelling of each name (like I would do) around a little bit, for example: Titanium = Titania or Titani; Silver = Silvara or Silvirus.

I have a hard time naming five let alone 25.
But I was following suit with Veph and creating an undead hunter girl and her pets will be the 7 virtues. As time draws nearer look for that thread to determine what each pet should be for the virtues. I really love this idea! Although the name 'Sin' and several variations on that are taken on Nesingwary.

I like yer thinking style
I usually follow the theme of naming after Transformers or Yuusha, with some other occasional giant robots.
I've used Skorponok and Ironhide (warpstalker), and I have Ravage too (Humar). Should get a norm lion and name it Steeljaw since you used several of the Cassettes already (I like Blaster more than Soundwave, sorry!)
Bad thing...when I think of Ratbat, I think of the artist.

I'll enjoy that, it's like a challenge! xD

Blaster and his tapes are all yours. I prefer Decepticons anyway, as the misunderstood, "evil" faction ... sounds familiar
I think Soundwave put it best though:

Maybe (and a big maybe at that) if I make a Human Hunter I could name all her pets after posters here in the forums. There are some really nice names already in here and there's definitely more than 25 to choose from.
The fun thing I think would be to theme the pet to the personality of the poster.
For example: Vephriel would be a black devilsaur; Ryno would be a Rhino of course; Mania would be a crab or pink tallstrider; and so on and so forth.
If I choose to go this route, I'd make a point to post a thread in the forums or send a private tell so that people can submit feedback as to what pet they'd like to have represent them. Hmmm? The more I think about it now, the more I want to do it! I'll let you know

Like Saturo said, you already pronounce them ^^
Å/å = Bored/Board (Bård)
Æ/æ = Bad/And (Bæd/Ænd)
Ø/ø = Germ/Sir (Djørm/Sør)
Anyway, I'll probably stick with my usual theme: Drow and Quenya/Sindarin names and words.
I used Veldrin (Drow for shadow) on Humar, and my Oil covered wolf is named Garaf (Sindarin for Wolf), for example.
Might mix in some Grey elf words there too..
Yes, I'm a very big geek.

Hardly geeky at all. Silinrul (my main hunter) is an night elf and her name means 'hunter' in drow. All her pets (Jiaphyon, Felyndril, Rhylnar, Altonin, and Dhaundax) are drow words or use drow naming suffixes from
this site. Well...so I guess that actually means we're BOTH geeks then? XD

This is a very intriguing idea XD I'd love to see what kind of stable you end up taming
As for me, I've started a little BE hunter to begin the alphabet idea I came up with. His name is Aran, and his first pet's name is Burstfyre. I'll see if I can not only get all my pets, but go down the line in order to boot XD

Hehehe... Nice ^^
A friend (and fellow hunter) actually has Streea and Aphyon tattooed on her wrists in Drow runes. I have my real name in Tengwar runes on my right hand
