Name that... Stable...

Unread post by Lupis »

Recently, I logged on my tauren and changed his entire stable. Three of his nine pets stayed. One of those three are named.
Yeah.
I now have a completely new (and growing) stable in need of names.

Name specifications... Well, the character is a Taunka, so names that reflect that - two-part, native american, tribal, etc. He's also an artist, and he's not very good at fighting... So nothing too ferocious.

You don't need to suggest names for every pet, that'd be ridiculous. ^.^''

Here's some names that may help if you like:

Ankti: Hopi name meaning "dance".
Ayashe or Ayasha: Cheyenne name meaning "little one".
Citlali: Nahualt name meaning "star".
Hinto: Dakota name meaning "blue".
Koda: Sioux name meaning "friend".
Kotori: Hopi name meaning "screeching owl".
Kuruk: Pawnee name meaning "bear".
Makya: Hopi name meaning "eagle hunter".
Misun: Sioux name meaning "little brother".
Naira: Quechua name meaning "big eyes".
Nanuq: Inuktitut name meaning "polar bear".
Nova: Hopi name meaning "chases butterflies".
Saqui: Mapuche name meaning "favorite".
Sayen: Mapuche name meaning "sweet" or "lovely".
Shikoba: Choctaw name Meaning "feather".
Sikis: Navajo name meaning "friend".
Sokanon: Algonquin name meaning "rain".
Soyala: Hopi name meaning "winter solstice".
Tokala: Dakota name meaning "fox".
Wahya: Cherokee name meaning "wolf".

If you choose, you can also use actual tribal names as pet names, i.e.: Dakota, Cheyenne, Sioux, Wintu, etc.

(On a side note, my user name is from Native American origin (Osage) and means "deer spared by the hunter".)

I think Aputsiaq, meaning snowflake in Greenlandic, would be perfect for one of your pets. Also:

Catahecassa - "black hoof" in Shawnee. Possibly for a black-footed pet like your hyena or wolf?
Citlali - "star" in Nahuatl
Maiara - "wise" in Tupi
Nanuq - This literally means "polar bear" in Inuktitut. I think it's perfect for your bear!
Wayra - "wind" in Quechua

Here's another two you might like: Hotah, meaning "white" in Sioux, and Yahto, which is Sioux for "blue." There is also Yas, which is "snow" in Navajo.

Tejas, which has come to mean 'friendly', was originally the name of a Caddo tribe or settlement.
