I was sitting in Galtrev yesterday, doing my usual pet cycle (don't worry, i moved to the upper parts to try and lower lag.) and I suddenly thought: "I wonder what popular names there are for each pet?"
So, here are the ones i have:
Raven - Unnamed as of yet
Bear - Bodger, because it sounds..... bear-like
Lynx - Felix, because well.... its a Cat
Sabretooth - Frosty, because of the obvious reasons
Eagle - Gwithrin, because it seems to be a fairly Eagle sounding name (Gwaihir springs to mine, sorry for spelling if its wrong)
Bog-lurker - Slinky, for no other reason than i like the sound of it
Spirit of nature - Ghostie, since its rather.... ghost-like
Hare - Hopper
Snake - Slizzer
Dog - Mim (he reminds me of the petty dwarf in The Children of Hurin)
well, those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, and i'll update this if i have missed any. Lets see what you all call your pets now

Frost Raven - Proneldon
Black Bear - Penthralnir
Spotted Lynx - SoftStep (to go with my LM's name - Thurinphifnirol Swiftfoot)
Lesser Giant Tundra Eagle - Thrailenden
Spotted Sabrecat - (can't remember)

Hahahaha plus rep for that one, now stop making me laugh at work! :P
Pet names I use:
Bear - Superted
Raven - RoastedEagle
Eagle - Ishallah or Turkey (if it gets in the way and people complain I change the name)
Sabertooth -
Spirit of Nature (normal) -
Turtle - Bowser
Squirrel - Alvin
Fox - Reinaert
Snake - Kaa
Dog -
Cat -
Hm, will have to look up the names when I get home!
Re: Lore-Master pet names: Lore-abiding and otherwise
Since the only pets I use with any regularity are the Raven, the Eagle, and the Spirit...
Raven - Cleitefola
Eagle - Turkina
Spirit Animal - Silver[insert] (e.g. the Spirit Raven is Silverwing, the Spirit Bear is Silverpaw, the Spirit Sabertooth is Silverfang, the Spirit Boar is Silvertusk, etc.)
Re: Lore-Master pet names: Lore-abiding and otherwise
My character names are lore-appropriate, i.e., my Loremaster is Eohan. For his regular combat pets, I have a Bjork theme:
Raven - Isobel
Bear - Joga
Lynx - Vespertine
Eagle - Volta
Sabercat - Frosti
Bog Lurker - Medulla
I haven't gotten to Spirits of Nature yet. For spirit forms of existing combat pet types, I'll use those names. I've always thought of my "pets" as being nature spirits that manifest or inhabit normal members of their species. So, for unique spirits, here's what I think I'll go with:
Spirit of Nature - Aurora
Spirit Boar - Cvalda
Spirit Auroch - Selma
My mounts share the same name and continue in the Bjork theme:
Horse (mount) - Wanderlust
For the non-combat pets, I only have a handful of them so far; it's cartoon characters and muppets. Here's what I think I'll go with for all of them:
Re: Lore-Master pet names: Lore-abiding and otherwise
Raven: Gilborn
Bear: the default wildpaw is Paddington, tundra cub is Ursaminor, polar bear is Uilosgurth
Lynx: Dingurth
Eagle: Aiwengurth
Sabretooth, can only recall the Artic one as Sulringurth
Bog Guardian: Loegurth
Raven spirit: Feaiwen
I so rarely pull out the non combat pets I forget most of the names, Cat is Bast, Turtle is Speedy.
Re: Lore-Master pet names: Lore-abiding and otherwise
Raven - Lenore
Bear - Bruno
Lynx - Clark
Eagle - Bruce
Saber-Toothed Cat - Diego
Bog Guardian - Swampert (Or Waffles, depending on the skin I'm using).
Re: Lore-Master pet names: Lore-abiding and otherwise
I have a raven named Foop on Emira. Why? It was a little person I drew when I was younger.
My friend, Raennar, has his mottled raven named "FloopyFlopper" after his floppy dog, Amos. The white one's name is "Steve" for some unknown reason, and the normal one's name is "Tony".

When you reach L29, go pay a visit to Radagast. He gives you a chain of quests that results in you getting the ability to get cosmetic pets, and a Rabbit.
Re: Lore-Master pet names: Lore-abiding and otherwise
I'm on my third Loremaster and I've finally found names I like:
Frost Raven - Astior (Sindarin for "Dust of the Ancient")
Bear (default) - Bumblebull
Onyx Linx - Nacht (German for "Night")
Dusky Sabercat - Abraham
Spirit of the Sabercat - Lace
Eagle - Sulurnil (Sindarin for "Wind Prince")
I try to make the names from Elvish words except for my lynx which is named for the Queen of the Valar, Varda Elentari.
Lynx - Elentar
Eagle - Orodhir (Mountain Lord)
Sabertooth Cat - Helegril (Gleam of Ice)
These are off the top of my head, so I'll probably spell them wrong :[
Frost Raven - Proneldon
Black Bear - Penthralnir
Spotted Lynx - SoftStep (to go with my LM's name - Thurinphifnirol Swiftfoot)
Lesser Giant Tundra Eagle - Thrailenden
Spotted Sabrecat - (can't remember)
Bear: Grylls Spirit Raven: Ravenous dog:Puppy (whenever things don't go as I like I summon him and threaten to slap a puppy ) bog-lurker: Veenmos (dutch for bogmoss) Eagle: Eddy ( for those who don't know this olympic legend)
And some more true to the lore. Lynx: Finrod Sabretooth: Arathan Raven: Kaug
