I recently got this boar

and this spider

for one of my (too many) hunters on Nesingwary and now I need some good Japanese sounding names for them :)

my other pets have names taken from the manga Silver Fang and Silver Fangs son (dont remember the exact title)

Gin (Timber)
Reika (Nightstalker)
Kisaragi (Giggler)

For your Boar I went with mostly bright or sun themed names due to its vivid colours:

Male
Aki - autumn, bright, sparkle
Akira - bright or clear
Haru - spring or sunlight
Hideaki - shining excellence, splendid brightness
Kin - gold
Mamoru - protector (boars are tenacity after all, they're the tanks/protectors)
Ryota - stout, strong
Satoru - daybreak
Teruo - shining
Tamotsu - defender, protector
Toshi - alert, bright intelligent

EDIT: Spider names. No particular theme, just went with ones that seemed right.

Female
Amaya - night rain
Hisako - long lived
Kamiko/Kameko - superior
Kaori - fragrance weaving
Kasumi - mist
Maiko - dancing
Masumi - lucidity
Moriko - forest child
Rin - cold, dignified, severe
Setsuko - temperate
Shiori - poem, weave
Shizuka - quiet
Toshiko - clever
