Altudrax reminds me of the Mega Cat from Demi Kids. So I named my Drax "Rand," the name of the character's demon that can turn into Mega Cat in Light Version.




She's named after a Punk Girl from XY.

I'm pretty unoriginal when it comes to naming my pets lol like when I got my first Igupunk, I named her Rose because of her color. But then I decided to go with flower names for all my other Igupunks (there's also Tulip and Buttercup). Then there's two pets with names I took from Hiveswap Friendsim (Tagora and "Zeeb" aka Zebruh lmao), two names are Italian words (Luna and Fragola) and two are just random names (Boo and Noxie). I have a Canisqua egg now and idk how I'm going to name it yet

My Sol!!
I didn't want to evo my other troffinch as I had a cute storyline for him, so I decided to hatch another to evolve!! I really wanted to call him Ra after the sun god of Egypt, but with that name I wouldn't be able to really make him my own character, I felt. So I called him Sol, Latin for sun. >:O

All my pets are named after places to eat. I try to keep them somewhat close to the brand colors.

My little weasel hatched!!
I've been extra excited for this one.
I was hoping for a female, but he's a he!!

My old ferrets were all LADIES, but I named him Dako, for one I used to have called Dakota....

All the pets I use most often have importance to me in some form or another-
Charma, my Sunobra, reminds me of a snake a friend used to have that they called "Charming and, Ultima, my Luputrix, is named because my lover's favorite animal is a wolf and he goes by that name
Other than that you have:
Sugar my pydeer that popped out white so I guess it made sense that the only female I hatched naturally and didn't gender change was named something cute and sweet
Roosevelt (my rootax) who I named because a certain someone in a certain website gave me a bunch of name puns for when he hatched
Quinoa my OTHER sunobra who is named for a deity for a species I own also I really like quinoa don't @ me
My drax is named Aquarius because he's aqua and I'm "original"
Mobath is named Mophim in place of "Mothim" from pokemon

Okay, here's another one with a non-random name!

At work yesterday, we had to travel a little. The yard I was working in had patches of clover growing in it. I don't know about you guys; but every clover I've ever seen has just been solid green. The clovers here all had a single red spot in the middle of each petal/leaf. It was neat, and also odd.

I named my owluck for the oddity I saw yesterday!

Their colours! Like I have a Drax called Cyani cause he is Cyan! And a white feline called Whitiline. Also i called an igupunk Crystacavern because it looked like cave with crystals! I also have 2 Troffs both called “magma” at the end of their names, Orange and Ice magma.

I usually use food names or try to base the names off of what the pixpet looks like or reminds me of.

Transformers babey! I'm trying to put a stupid picture in all their bios that captures the essence of their namesakes. Everyone in this franchise is so stupid so all my pets are idiots as well.

The two pets I currently have are mildly inspired by Final Fantasy XIV's naming conventions. Kiems would've been Kiemi'a, my character's name, but names don't allow apostrophes, so I went with his nickname. Almexio draws upon the names of the Sylphs, with -o and -a determining the masculinity or femininity of the name (as Sylphs lack any biological sex).

The names just come from... somewhere. Some of my pixpets have actual names, like Ven (Drax), Alma (Feliphene) and Vuokko (Canisqua) but some of them also have really simple names like Strawberry (Fluffpaxa) or Stardust (Pandstar). The simpler ones are mostly based on the pet's appearance or the name of the species or such. Alma and Vuokko come from our real life pets: Alma is a cat and Vuokko is a dog.

Also an extra bit of info about why my Velibolt is called Sister: since "veli" means "brother" in Finnish, I was going to name it Brother. It ended up being female though so I went with Sister instead.

I probably did what most people did and just names my pet after my IRL pet :p
Pretty unoriginal, especially considering my dog is a rescue so I didn't even pick his name in the first place.
