Well, I.ve seen a topic about characters names, so Why not starting
with the pet names.

I have a Moss spider atm as pet, And I calld it Dreuzel.
Not that it is meaning anything, I just couldn't think of anything els at that
time.

So how do you call your pet?

Ijsbolleke, as in, 'little ball of ice', for a White Moa.

Dreuzel is Muggle in English, by the way.

Ahaha, wondering when this would come up.

Since my Ranger's name is Japanese (Jiyu Sakurai), I figured I'd give her pets Japanese names too.
So, for her first pet (a plain, orange tiger), I chose Momiji, "Autumn Leaves". It fit the color, I thought.
When I replaced him with a white tiger, I picked Yuki, "Snow" (iirc?).
Yes, I read Fruits Basket, haha, though neither of those is the name of the tiger (never got that far). I just liked the names, and the meanings fit the colors.

My Ele's (Jennarose Mashaba, not my other Ele, the rarely-played Hineli Ahnenjei) pet's name was spur-of-the-moment: Meshoka. It was seemed to click with the pet (the Melandru's Stalker from Pre, haha), and it sounded like it would fit her Elonian ancestry.

My Mez is the last one to have a pet (except the Para, whose crane is as-yet-unnamed). She finally managed to tame a bear in Pre with help from my GL's permapre ranger, and while she doesn't use it (she's /N), I love it. Since her name (Medea the Younger) is from Greek mythology, I thought I'd pick a Greek name for the bear as well. Naturally, I went with Callisto, the nymph who was turned into a bear by Artemis.

EDIT: Haha I totally forgot about Gui's pet! It's a Jingle Bear, and I named it Fu Mei, which I believe means lucky something but I have forgotten exactly what. Anyway it was going to be Gui's name but it was taken when I made her, so instead I recycled it twice, once for her mother in my backstory and once for her bear. The bear gets called FuFu mostly, though, because it sounds silly.

My perma-pre has a warthog named "Bacon"
My old Ranger had a pet bear named "Monte" - In honor of the University of Montana's mascot of the same name. Go Griz!

(Not very creative, I know - but still fun, for me. )

where the prefix mostly is given out for there character or ingame thing that happend and where xxx is there common used callname.

I don't have a ranger. My ranger heroes have pets, but I always keep the default name.

Someone I know IRL always names his pet "Green Items," lol I don't know why. He's either way too obsessed w/ green items or he thinks the drop rate will increase whenever his pet bites the boss

For a long while i had a lion or lioness, called Ingonyama. It means lion in some sort of african language and I ripped it of 'Circle of life' where there's some african chanting at the intro.

Then I had a mountain eagle, called Rocky, after my 15y old lovebird-pet I have irl.

And currently I got a rainbow phoenix, first called Rocky again, but nowadays Jean Grey. X-Men, think no further explanation is needed.

My monk + her monk heroes all carry a flamingo around, called Pink =P.

Pets names are usually nothing serious. Injokes between friends usually. Warthogs get called Sir Bacon. Melandru's stalkers usually get called something lore-y because I'm a huge dork.

No matter what it starts as, if things head south in a mission it tends to get changed to "Meat Shield".

When things are good my dune lizards get called Kirin.

My ranger's pet is a tiger named Mr Pet. She loves him very much. However, he has a tendency to run off on his own whenever she's in the waiting room of the JQ.

When my dervish goes /R, he brings along a lurker named Crabbycakes. He's awesome.
