I usually just name things by what pops into my head at the time. I named my Canisqua 'Echo' because it seemed fitting for a wolf -- I can imagine him being vocal and howling a lot. It just seemed suitable to me~

I named my Troffinch starter Wren because it's a male bird-related name, but that reminded me of the Phantasy Star games where names had a character limit of 4, so I decided to give all my pets 4-letter names.

Wren found a Fluffpaxa egg with the Pixpet potion, so I named him Eros, the god of love, for obvious reasons.

Eros has found like... 6 or 7 Igupunks by now, but I kept the first one and named him Tiny, because I figured it would be funny once he fully evolves, while fitting him perfectly in his first stage.

Tiny found a Unicubb and I named him Koda because it's a name that means bear in some language or another, and I didn't really feel like thinking up a good name for a pet I'm not going to use much.

Finally, Eros got a Rootax that I named Buck, as male kangaroos are often called.

Named her after the figure in Greek mythology who was transformed into a bear and placed in the stars as the Ursa Major constellation!

Well, I only have one pet so far but I'll probably use the same naming process I used for her. My Drax's name is Akvo, which literally means aqua in another language.

Nix (or Nyx) is the greek goddess of the night. Xeldron's dark colour kinda reminds me of the night.


Miakoda is an american indian name meaning "power of the moon". There's no special meaning, I just found the name pretty.


Raffles is a fictional thief. I find it fitting since Bloomfer is based on a ferret (I think) and they're known for stealing stuff. Also it's a few words away from "Rafflesia", a species of stinky plants. That references ferrets "unique" odor and Bloomfer's flower-esque features.


Kairyu is Dragonite's (from Pokémon) japanese name. Drax is a cute dragon just like Dragonite! Besides, mine is yellow so it kinda fits Dragonite's orangey color.

My Igupunk finally hatched, and I called her Eggtooth for the nose spike which disappears after the youngest stage. :P

I've been trying so hard to come up with good names!

Borealis the Unicubb (Sky / Star themed name)
Terrene the Veemooth (Earth themed name)
Rayyan the NooLong (It has a lot of meanings with glory, thought that was good for a legendary)

I usually like to name my Pixpets after real characters I use in story and RP, sometimes video games.

I'm generally horrible with names, so I just name mine based on the first name I think of.

Named after my boyfriend! He's sweet and silly and loyal like a dog. Also he loves pink, so I'm hoping to evolve.



And she's named after a lizard character of mine.

The only other one I've named so far was off the top of my head and not something I'm very satisfied with, my Veemooth named Spring because I wanted to think of something nurturing and motherly, or something like that pfft.

i mostly name them whatever pops in my head when i look at the pet. usually i take words in spanish and done, though i also rearrange/change them every now and then to sound fitting! for example, my starter Troffinch is named "Granada" after a pomegranate, since for some reason its rose colour reminded me of it.

I accidentally named my starter pet, so it's just got it's species name for now. Might go back and change it when I can brew up a name change potion or whatever, but for now it kinda has to stay what it is.

My second pet is honestly just a pun. Puppernickle for the dog creature

It just... came to me, I guess? There’s this pit bull dog named Maisy on a YouTube channel called The Dodo, and I think that’s what inspired my Drax’s name. I accidentally named her Drax when I first got her, but I was able to rename her when I got a renaming potion using some of my SPC I got when I first created my account.

Lourdes is an Animorphs reference (book 10+ spoilers: she was an android), and Lily I think was picked by my niece!

I only have two pets at the moment, but they're all going to royal themed names. So far it's just Duchess and Emperor.
