Looking for Egyptian Names

Unread post by Qadesh »

Tame stories first, of course.

I was on my way to the Molten Front dailies yesterday after work, and I see a yellow dot on my minimap. It can't be Stormvine as I was only tracking beasts. None other than Magria! I hadn't expected to see her in the wild let alone tame her, but before I knew what I was doing I found myself with a new pet. :roll:

Before I logged off for the night I cleaned up my stable. Got rid of a few pets I never bonded with or used.

Heading again to do some dailies about an hour ago and I see yet another dot on my minimap. This time it's Ankha. I sigh and swoop in for the tame. :lol:

Now I have two pets who need names. As the subject title states I'm looking for Ancient Egyptian names. All of my pets -- except one -- are named after AE deities. I have searched for names or words in the Egyptian language to continue my theme and have come up empty-handed. :geek:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :hug:

Hmm, if you've already used all the Egyptian deities, maybe switch to Egyptian pharaohs?

Or place names? Like Luxor, Cairo, Rosetta. Or Giza, for the great sphinx.

I have a hunter with Egyptian-themed names, too. When she got the burning boar I was stuck for a name, until I hit on Kyphi.
An ancient Egyptian incense -- perfect for the smoky flaming boar.

GormanGhaste: There are still a few deities available for my stable. Using names of pharaohs definitely widens the list available, thanks!

Sam: I've never considered using the names of places -- I really like that idea!

KnightRyder: Thank you for the link!

I just love all these ideas! :mrgreen:

Here is a list of a Pharaoh family tree that might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighteenth ... amily_Tree.

You can look into the names of sons and princesses, who are less famous than the kings/queens, but still have some really lovely names. :D
