Thy's Skoll needs a name!

Okay.. so my hunter tamed Skoll.. Originally, I didn't know if I was gonna keep him.. but if you're interested in all that, you can read my other thread! Now I'm thinking I'll keep him, at least for now. Problem is.. I can't think of a name.. I REALLY want him named after the little zappy sounds he makes when just idling around... As they're probably the one big reason I don't want to let him go, heh.

I'd totally go with just some random made-up fantasy sounding name that also sounds... zappy...

Usually I just toss around sounds in my head... but I usually give myself a lot more freedom to work with, so it's kind of hard. I also don't generally work with zappy sounding letter combos..

So.. I was thinking something with "z", "t", "ts", "ks", "kz" kind of sounds... Anyone have any ideas? Even just a starting point to provide some inspiration for my mind to work off of would be GREAT.

Hmm, what about Plazzma? :lol: Plasma is found in lightning, so it could work.

Or...perhaps something like Lupusz, for canis lupus (wolf).

You're right, this is harder than I thought it'd be. :lol:

The only fantasy name I can think of that also has some "zappy"-sounding letters is Drizzt. :P

What about Piezo, from piezoelectricity?

Hmm.. Drizzt could be something to work with... I like the sound of it.. I'm just not a HUGE fan of using someone else's name intentionally.. The exception being some of my WoT fan/tribute names (I have an Old Cliff Jumper on my puppy hunter named Mashadar).

Hmm.. I might be able to work with the concept though... Triszt, Ksazzt, Ziksrazt, hmm..
