Iban is named after a character from the Runescape quest, "Underground Pass". He was the antagonist of the quest. There's no particular reason I named him after the villain, who had nothing to do with dragons, I just liked the name.

Similarly, Vladek is named after a villain from LEGO Knights' Kingdom. Vladek from the sets actually had a scorpion theme going on, though, so I have no idea why I named a bat after him.

Honestly I just last minute throw together a bunch of sounds/letters, think "hmm, that sounds pretty cool and fantasy-esque" and then just use that lol

Ever since I first saw The Princess Bride, I liked the Spaniard looking for the man with six fingers, in large part for his great delivery when he finally found the guy. When I first saw my little Drax, the first word I thought was "indigo", but I knew it didn't fit. It did, however, remind me of aforementioned Spaniard, and so I decided to name my little dragon after him.

In keeping with the theme, when my second pixpet hatched, I decided to bestow upon her that same Spaniard's last name, and so my little set of two was complete.

Then the third was hatched, and with Inigo Montoya only having two names I could think of, and none of the others having the same impact for me. At first I wa thinking of Winnie the Pooh's Kanga and Roo, but felt dissatisfied with both of those names. Then I took a good hard look at my Rootax and although the label claims him yellow, I found myself reminded of gold. Thus, thinking back on my mostly forgotten chemistry lessons from back when I attended high school, I decided to name him for the element.

As for my next pixpet, well. We'll see when we get there

I AM BACK! And with more pets now


Vetos was named after a Zora OC that I designed for a Legend of Zelda D&D based game that myself and a few friends were playing. I don't know how I got the idea to name a dragon Vetos but... here we are. I think it's the fact that he was a Warlock, had his own personal pet Dark Argorok and also because his colors were sorta like the Drak sprite here so... XD


Argus made me think of the Draenei and the little Argy pet in World of Warcraft. Thus, I had to name it after the Space Goats of the game and just the fallen Titan from the raid because well reasons


Another pet named after another OC of mine, this time a Volcarona OC of mine. Nothing really to say beyond I named a moth looking pet after a moth pokemon OC lol


Minh here was named after my wife's Zora OC and I'm pretty sure the logic behind that was this little critter looked a lot like an aquatic pet of sorts. So the name stuck and I couldn't think of anything else so XD


Completely random name is completely random, I don't even know where I came up with it I just typed something and I guess it fit? XD

It was my old childhood dog's name (I swear it isn't a Stranger Things reference.)

Honestly, it's now an accidental theme. Chicago, my Unicubb, was named that because of my love of the Chicago Cubs baseball team. Decided to go with a place theme when I got my Albino Xeldron and named them Dells, after the Wisconsin Dells.

Alpha got her name because I was intending on naming most of the Pixpets I get after the greek alphabet, sorta befitting Niyo's hi-tech theme in-character.

There will, of course, always be exceptions.

My Troffinch is Pointy because she is.

My Noo-Long is Banhpho because I was following the noodle-naming scheme in beta, and "bánh phở" means rice noodle in Vietnamese.

My Ursufuzz is Conejito because I asked in the Discord what to name him, and Bunny jokingly (?) suggested "little bunny", so I chose the Spanish word for that!

My Veemooth is Bolivia because she's a bovine and I like the name Olivia.

My Pydeer is Pretzel because why not.

I got a Rootax tonight! <3
I named her Beetle after those jumpy click beetles. My brother and I used to play with them when we were kids, plus we saw a feature on them on 'The Most Extreme' which we thought was weird!!

named this sweet boy after my red kougra plushie that i've had for years


as for this tough girl... there's no real source for her name! was kinda a random spur-of-the-moment decision
i tend to call fluff 'floof' instead. and, for some reason, she reminded me of sugar cookies-- (not to mention i enjoy names that seem ironic when compared to personalities)

Alright I’ve got more!

I’m too lazy to get codes to show them though

I’ve got Tina the Feliphene
Tina is named after a cat I had that wasn’t too bright. She’s in a new home (not because she wasn’t very bright. It’s because I had 3 cats and had to downgrade a kitty) but here’s a way to preserve the memory of having her :P Besides the like 15 images I have of her.

I’ve got Lucinda the Tuxo
It was either Lucifer or Lucinda tbh depending on what she hatched as. It spawned because I’ve been watching too much Lucifer lately and obviously fancy tuxedo means Luci. I would have never thought of Lucinda had I not seen one of the latest episodes where he said the name though :P

Steven the Velibolt
Named after the creator of JP or Steven Stone, the collector of rare stones from pokemon? YOU WILL NEVER KNOW! It could be either tbh.

Birb_Friend the Troffinch
It’s a Birb and it’s your friend what more do you need to know? Actually this was the name of my beta Troff and I wanted to bring it back <3

I have Skyler and Rozi but those are random O3O

Named after vervain flowers. I find them subtle and beautiful, and they also come in a many shades of purple.


Same theme as the one above. Named after salvia, or more commonly known as sage. Their blooms come in a variety of colors, one color being indigo.


Named after callicarpa americana. Or, the beautyberry. I adore these in floral arrangements, and I thought their color to match well with the magenta of the Finngriff!

I'm super into themes.

After my BF, because his favourite colours are hideous greens. Also so I can complain to him when his pixel version doesn't bring me back anything good.



After a character of mine! clickie They can shapeshift so eventually when I get around to it I was going to edit the Finngriff sprite to be more like their design P:

I've always felt that Drax looked like the eager, naive protagonist of some story, so I went full cheese and named mine Chance. Yes, after the dog. From Homeward Bound. :[

Now I can't help but imagine him having Michael J. Fox's voice.
