Pet Name Generator up and running!

Finally finished!

It's very very simple, as I am -not- a coder, but I'm hoping it'll help give people inspiration for naming their pets! I know myself, anyway, and the fact that for me it's almost as hard to name a pet as to settle on one...

Anyway, have a look and tell me what you think. I've included links to sites for Baby Names, Pet Names (like REAL pets, aka Rex and Fido), Mythological names, and Pet Resources--talent calcs for pets + hunters... And of course a link to Petopia. Because in my eyes tis the pet bible.

Opinions and suggestions are welcome, keeping in mind I have no idea what I'm doing :lol:

I love it! I think the simplistic layout is actually perfect for what it is. You don't need something flashy and over the top. Simple can be better in a lot of cases. ^^

It's a lovely tool for brainstorming ideas. Even if the name generated isn't something you'd use, sometimes just the words within the name lets you think of alternative ideas and such.

Great job! :D

If it goes well, my suggestion would be to add sets to the vocabulary sets, so there would be elvish names, dwavish names, orcish, etc.

Lol yes, it's got some very stupid/silly combinations that come up.

Good ones I've gotten include Ripfang, Ironbite, Hooktooth, Bloodsnout, Rotscale, Blacktalon, Silversong, Grimhowl, Stormhoof etc.

BAD ones have included Bluetooth, Skywalker, Whisperscar, Fireghost, Stingbeak, Sweetstrider (which sounds oddly suggestive O.o), Fluffysnap, Youngcrush and Lashchomp :P

Dullhoof! I like it. *ponders a hoofed animal she can tame to use that name* Oh! I might use it for a tauren pally! :D

Coincidentally, I also like several of the names you didn't Acherontia. ;) It'll definitely have something for everyone. :) Great work. And I really, really like the look.

Edit: The second suggestion I got? Moonwalker. xD *fawns* I love this site, it's like it knows me in all my geekines!

Ooooh for Gondria! I can totally see that!

It also gave me Withersnout, which would totally work for an undead piggy! :D

Looks like it adds commonly associated pet anatomy or actions as the Suffix, with an adverb/jective as the prefix. cool set up. =D

Also note that I have gotten two epic names out of it.. Venomeye and Gorefire... :D

:D I like doing this when I'm bored, it's quite entertaining.
For example: I just got Fluffyspike!! :?:

Edit: I did get a really good one, though: Bloodgrin!
