I'm honestly so bad at names... I just ended up naming my Troffinch after my xiv character. I saw "Rose" as the color and named her Soleil. "Soleil Rose" is my xiv character. :p

I love to put some meaning behind names. My Feliphene starter in the beta hatched white, so just like @goatcheese, I thought of the name Alabaster, which reminded me of a character from a book I recently read called A Rumor of Gems by Ellen Steiber. Alasdair is a sort of shaman who can commune with gems, and since Feliphenes have gems on their head and tails, I decided to go with that. This time, my Feliphene hatched black, but I kept the name.



My Noo-Long, Vasuki, is named after one of the King serpents in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Vasuki is also known as one of the eight Great Dragon Kings.



In the beta, I also had a white Indigoat named Inanna, which is a combination of "Indigoat" and "nanny goat." She kept a brief diary, and eventually I hope to have another Inanna.

Was trying to think of what to name my Troffinch, and wanted to go with a name I'd liked as a kid, but couldn't remember exactly what it was. My mind went to "Lucy" before I remembered the name I had liked was actually "Sally" (guess I mixed up the Peanuts characters, haha), but I went with Lucy anyway.

When I got my Finnigriff, I decided to name him Andy. Andy... Finnigriff. Andy Finnigriff...eth. Get it? ...Anyone?

roe i named roe, from beta, because at the time i was watching dexbonus' coffeh time videos and she had a friend named roe. xD i was thinking, roe is such a nice name.
vermicelli is named that 'cuz near the start of beta we all goofed that we should name our noodles different types of noodles, and vermicelli rice noodles are my favorite!

i have a lot of other pets planned, all of them from beta, lol.
i had a pydeer named pingas because my mind blanked. im not going to name him that this time xD
a sunobra named ampithere, named after one of my dragonadopters dragons. :3
indigoat named equi, because i was TRYING to make a "gamzee from homestuck is a capricorn and indigoat blooded" but he wasnt, equius was, and i like equius more anyway. >:U
i had a sawrotag named gummy because i was having an MLP phase at the time.
and a bloomfer named sasuke, because someone had named theirs itachi (for weasel of course) and i figured it would be a fun joke, even though i dont like naruto.

and of course, when i get an igupunk, im going to name it... igumetal! >:P

Cinnamon just sounded like a name that rolled off the tongue well. A small, colorful, tropical bird. I see her as a sweet little thing, always tweeting a happy song, flitting about and growing stronger with every adventure. Cinnamon is tasty and sweet when used correctly, and I want to raise my digital children right!

Well lets see since I've gained quite a few pets let's go down the list here shall we


My first pet I picked was the Feliphene because I simply felt drawn to it and it looks adorable, plus I figured I could get the other starters eventually through hoards. I didn't really have a name in mind but once I saw her my and that she was in the Black color group I thought of Luna from Sailor Moon, thus her name.


And of course this was the pet that I got back from my potioned Hoard with Luna. Seeing his appearance I just couldn't NOT name him after my original character Jacques who has the ability to transform into a massive dragon with super destructive powers... I mean that would be pretty legendary I would say right?


This guy is so freaking cute and for the most part he is named after another original character of mine who is a Pinkan Island Arbok/Crobat hybrid... I don't know how that translates into an Iguana looking critter but there ya go.


And this one was a pretty much go with the first thing that springs to my mind at the moment I literally have no background to Tachi's name other than it just came to my mind and was the first thing that I thought of XD


I might gender swap this precious child in the future so that I can name her Zack. Dolly and Zack were my two dogs that I had to leave behind when I moved and Zack has recently passed away (It hit me very hard and I am still recovering from his passing because of how he passed away) so any chance I get to name a pet after one of my real life pets I'm going to tackle and go for it. Though a better colored pet would likely be a black one for Zack as he was more black than brown and Dolly was a very muddied up brown with little bits of black in her fur.

I'm very bad at naming. Usually I just base my pets' names after their appearance/color.

This is gonna sound really stupid and unimaginative, but, as it stands right now, all of my pets were named after the mistake I made in trying to name my starter. I didn't realize you had to type in the name of your pet into the bar before you push the Name Pet button; I thought it would take me to a new window or something for me to name her. So....She ended up with the name, Canisqua, because she was a, you know, Canisqua X'DD

My other two pets, Drax and Mobath, are, you guessed it, a Drax and a Mobath respectively, because dang it I might as well continue with that trend until I start getting doubles of pets XDD

Named my starter Akko, because of Little Witch Academia garbage and tbh most dog/puppy-esque anythings always remind me of her x'D



I hatched Giada recently and named her after... Giada De Laurentiis. Solely because the Food Network was on when I was trying to think of a name and that's what popped into mind first. Oops.

Because she was my first pet and I kept having Mr. Krabs quotes run through my head

Looks sleepy but with a P

I had no idea why I named her based on her gender but here we are

Homestuck reference even though I havent been that much into it in years

Very creative as you can see
