In the sea without lees standeth the Bird of Hermes. When all his feathers be from him gone, He standeth still here as a stone.
Here is now both white and red, And all so the stone to quicken the dead
The Bird of Hermes is my name, Eating my wings to make me tame.
My LM's name is Juliaugusta, after Livia Julia Augusta, Augustus' wife (I was living in Rome and on a bit of a Roman history kick when I made her :P ). So, to have a theme, all my pets are named after Roman emperors. I have Augustus (bear), Constantine (Raven), Nero (sabretooth), Hadrian (light), Trajan (lynx), and I'm blanking on the others at the moment.
Ignore the user name... I'm a girl! ~~~ Also Lohla - Warden
Lol I use the same name for all my pets: Iya. The name means "hate" in Japanese, so it's a contrast to my name, Ai, which stands for "love" in Japanese. So more or less it's little inside thing for myself having love and hate walk around. Though when I run out to the Moors, I change the name to Freemealhere, and sometimes the creeps go for my pet instead of me lol. Guess the name really works =P
"What separates a man from a slave? Money? Power? No. A man chooses, a slave obeys" Alts Chouhi - Champion
Caleph - Warden
Roarz - Warg
Raven: Du(No reason)
Bear: Thandeth(some dodgy Elvish translation)
Lynx: Calien(No reason)
Sabertooth: Eglassiel(No reason)
Eagle: Marchnuil(No reason)
Bog Lurker: Snowdon(Tallest mountain in Wales. Odd choice, maybe)
Limrafn: No name as of yet, may change when I start using it more.
I name my pets to tribute various books and authors. For example, I have Gen the bear and Chrestomanci the lynx. It's triggered a few interesting conversations thus far.
Limrafn - prior to the update I named him Flashlight. =P But with the pretty okay changes they made to the pet, I decided to rename him a more proper sounding Woodsage.
Raven & Bear are named after my sons, when I first got the Raven, I asked my son what I should name it, and he wanted me to name it after him, then when I got the Bear I named it after my 2nd son.
Lynx - Silk, after my wife's cat.
Lurker - Stinky, if you lived in a bog, you'd be stinky too.
Turtle - Leonardo....
Snake - HissingSidIsInnocent, (one for our older UK players).
Some are named after RL pets, some after toons from old games, some just because!
Frost Raven: Oopsy
Raven: Flipsy
Lynx: Prudence
Onyx Lynx: Tank
Tundra Lynx: Max
Spotted Lynx: Kikokiko
Eagles: LuTze, Deathrides, Shinything
Bears: Braeburn, Cessna
Bog Guardian: NowIseeBeesIwoN (read it backwards ) and Flankenstein
Glowy Thing: well, this one is tough.. I started with IHaveAnIdea since it looked light a lightbulb just went off. Then I thought of Homer Simpson and thought maybe Fishbulb or MrSparkle. VampireSparkles kinda made me laugh but right now the thing is called SixtyWatts. After playing with it, it might go down to ThirtyFiveWatts lol.
My turtle is Nornuan, I have a squirrel named Tag, a fox called Foxtrot, a dog named Hops and a cat named after a cat I lost recently, Abby. There are more, but these are the ones I remember!
"Raven", "Bear" and "Lynx", probably... but don't quote me on that, I'd have to check to be sure. I don't have the other pets mentioned, but I'm pretty sure I know what names I would "give" them :-)
Lynx-Pipkin
spotted lynx-June (after my first cat)
Bear cub-Cubert
Spirit of nature-Fae
Saber Cat-Squiggles
Eagle-Colbeagle
Snow Raven-Felix (after my pet)
Rabbit-Fiver
Sparrow-Zap
“For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
I gave up trying to name my pets after it rejects the ones I tried (the only names I liked). I guess its names already in the game or something. I did try that mellon name months ago, but it rejected it, although I see you spelled yours differently.
