Naming pets is kinda mandatory on this site, so it's clear to assume most pets are being named. Picking a name can be difficult, but sometimes there's specific things inspiring those names. So I've been wondering, what inspired ya'alls pets' names?

My current pets are Sirocco the Canisqua and Glory the Finngriff. Sirocco is a very obscure one, he was named after the wolf-like wind spirit from the Aladdin TV series, as I used to really like that character as a kid (it's also the name of the Mediterranean wind that comes from the Sahara).
Glory was named for her (thinking of it as a "her") general appearance, I wanted something strong and majestic sounding, thus I picked "Glory". It is also a slight nod to the character from Tui T. Sutherland's "Wings of Fire" series, as Glory is one of my favorite characters in it.

All of mine gonna be named after anime/ manga/ video games. Love me that theme.
Rn there's Rin and Kaito who both are vocaloids. Do they remind me of them? Not really but those are the first names I could think of at the time.
I promise I'll do better with my references in the future

I had no idea what to call my first pet. But then I looked at it and was like "Drax....how about the rest of the GOTG?" and then I named him Quill and I've also got Groot. Provided no one takes the rest of them soon I should have the full team lol.

Percy was a bit of a random one, since I'm usually bad at naming, especially females. But I guess if anything, it can be based off the name Percival. :D

Hikaru was a name I used for another game. Named one of my light-element units because of what the name means and stuff, and grew attached to it since then.

I give my pets really uninspired names. Like, my Unicubb is named Snowy cuz I'm sooooo original. I did have a Sawrotag during the beta that was named Fruitgusher, and I think that's the only good name I came up with

Rn I've got Noo-Gon the Noo-Long, Rubix the Canisqua, and Finley the Finngriff.

Noo-gon's name is pure pun. I'm not someone who's really a pun/meme person but I kinda wanted to. It's a combo of Noodle and Dragon.

Rubix kinda dates back to my character RubixCube on Wolf Quest. He's got a story and was originally a parody character I'd made when one of the pups from a game got dropped in the river then glitched out so rather than disappearing, he danced in the river. So he was taken in by the river gods of yellowstone national park. I saw that the Canisqua was a blocky-ish water themed doggo and figured Rubix was the perfect name ;D

Finley has no story. I just took Fin and made a name out of it.

I named my first pet, a Drax, Mesi which is the name of a childhood Eel Dragon character I have. Then my second pet is named after my bearded dragon, Orio. Unfortunately, I named the pixpet before checking what gender they were Not that it matters too much, I just think that it's funny!

Back in beta I had Inch, my starter Troffinch, and then everybody else ended up being named after various Star Trek characters. So I had Bellana, Odo, Janeway, Dax... :D I started with the main Voyager crew but then ran out so I moved onto DS9.

The only name I'm keeping from beta is Inch, since heck he was my starter and it's also a cute name. I imagine he's quite a tiny Troffinch too. My (currently) Igupunk is named Fugue after a type of pipe organ composition. I plan on keeping a naming scheme for each evo line, so once I get a forever-iguzzle, that's gonna be Toccata, and forever-igupunk is gonna be either called Prelude or Ricercar.

I mainly go for either absolutely cutesy names or terms that sound vaguely name-ish so I wouldn't be suprised if I end up with a line of pixpets that are named Presto and Andante or also after various types of wind etc. :"D

I named Knight after my very first dragon on the dragonadopters site, to remember and honor her.
She was a dark dragon and was going to be named "night" but my autocorrect changed it to "knight" and it just stuck. XD

My Canisqua is named Barley in honor of my sixteen-year-old dog, Carly. Barley rhymes, and we often call her Carly Barley, so yeah. And Alabaster, my Indigoat, is named because of his color.

I named my starter drax Azure because I couldn’t think of anything else tbh. I named the drax that she found Cyril because the Legend of Spyro series was a part of my childhood and Cyril the ice guardian dragon was blue.
