I like the oxymoronic names for my pets. The problem with so many dogs (Dog, Damarian, Skeletal, and now War Dog) is that "Fifi" only works once and Fifi, Boopsie, and Cuddles are all taken. My head is burning gears and grinding to come up with a good one for my new Tootles... HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! :D

I can see we're going to need a companion name/pic thread. Some of the names I used (from memory as I'm typing from my phone):

1. Acolyte of Kelemvor: Laurelane
2. Aranea: Lisskitt
3. Archmage's Apprentice: Bolthus
4. Armored Orc Wolf: Kuma
5. Black Ice Ioun Stone: Obsidian
6. Blacksmith: Ganar
7. Blink Dog: Brownie
8. Boar: Baxter
9. Cat: Bittles
10. Cave Bear: Simba
11. Cleric Disciple: Corana
12. Cold Iron Warrior: Tolamon
13. Damaran Sheperd: Moxie
14. Dog: Rex
15. Dread Warrior: Daggonar
16. Duergar Guard: Thrombur Ironstone
17. Faithful Initiate: Sassari
18. Fawn of Shiallia: Nari
19. Fey Panther: Glimmer
20. Fire Archon: Pyros
21. Flame Sprite: Ember
22. Frost Mimic: Gillim
23. Galeb Duhr: Onyx
24. Ghost: Tirara
25. Green Slime: Glop
26. Hawk: Talon
27. Helmite Paladin Ghost: Ferrek
28. Honey Badger: Frix
29. Hunting Hawk: Valo
30. Ioun Stone of Allure: Magna
31. Ioun Stone of Might: Granos
32. Ioun Stone of Radiance: Lumin
33. Leprechaun: Seamus McGinn
34. Lillend: Xeria
35. Mercenary: X'vim
36. Moonshae Druid: Azrilom
37. Mystagogue: Amar
38. Mystic Pheora: Icarus
39. Owl: Swift
40. Panther: Shadow
41. Phase Spider: Shadowfang
42. Pheora: Phoenix
43. Pig: Bugsy
44. Portal Hound: Nanook
45. Pseudodragon: Wyrmthrax
46. Rebel Mercenary: Miriel
47. Renegade Evoker: Vanos
48. Renegade Illusionist: Jahir
49. Rust Monster: Kestrel
50. Skeletal Dog: Max
51. Skeleton: Mazzarrim
52. Slyblade Kobold: Neek
53. Sprite: Sylph
54. Swashbuckler: Jerenia
55. Sylph: Teedree
56. Tomb Spider: Scrim

    Oh hey, a topic interesting enough to entice me to log in and post.
    sockmunkey wrote: »

    I has one of these.

    I have 11 characters, with many account-unlock companions, which I refuse to give duplicate names. That adds up to a lot of naming things. Most characters have loose themes for companion naming, some as simple as a unifying first letter (so Jinx, Jazz, Jeri, etc.). My D&D CRPG character has human and demihuman companions mostly named after Baldur's Gate characters. My two Berserk characters mostly have Berserk manga companions.

    When I started, I had some aspirations of loose themes for naming companion types, which means I have dire wolves named after authors of famous dog stories like Jack London and Albert Payson Terhune, orc wolves named Kipling and Akela, etc.

    The character with companions primarily starting with the letter H has a skeletal dog named Harryhausen. The other skeletal dog I've bound is named Medulla Ossium.

    Ioun Stones of Radiance mostly have names like Not An Exploit, Emergency Backup Stone, and Plan B Is Total Panic... only two of my characters didn't already have some kind of augment companion before this was released. Companion types that have annoyed me with their AI scripts tend to start getting named things like Combat Disadvantage and Aggie.

    Beau of Hazzard runs around with a dire wolf named Flash, a stone named Uncle Jesse, a mimic named General Lee, a fawn named Dixie, and a rotating cast of whatever I am levelling - Luke Duke, Daisy, Coy, Vance, Davenport, Emery, Waylon, Rosco... and currently a pig named Boss Hogg (of course it is).

    My DC has a Galeb Duhr named Rock Voisine. Her cat is named Party Cat from Nedroid's Picture Diaries, and most of her companions take naming inspiration from other Nedroid stuff as a result (Illusionist named Horrible Cereal Wizard). Somebody else got the cave bear named Beartato though.

    The other cats are Cat Rackham and Bagpuss, after a comic where the original site is offline and a children's TV show respectively.

    http://jenbingham.com/blog/tag/cat-rackham-depression/

    Some ioun stones are Kepler, Perihelion, Apogee.
    Honey badger is Brock Blueheart (from Fables comic).
    One Helmite ghost is Captain Daniel Gregg.
    Some fawns are Sika and Dvallin. One pig is Zhu Bajie.

    Names is tough.

    On my HR all of his companions are Gods and Exarchs of different deities.
    For instance my Ioun Stone is Lord Ao since he was the most powerful of the companions. My tomb spider is Lolth. My Owl is Mielikki. My Lillend is Qotal. Etc.

    However, there's a fair lack of deities for chickens or deities who believe/make chickens holy...
    So I got creative.

    Chicken: Iyachtu Xvim
    My excuse is that while people believe Bane consumed him completely he tucked a portion of his divinity in a chicken. He's now an evil fire breathing chicken that spreads fear, hatred and strife throughout the world and wants nothing more than world domination.

    Cockatrice: Talona
    Well, it has talons doesn't it? And it petrifies with it's bite, right? Isn't that a disease of sorts? I think Talona, the Lady of Poison, Mistress of Disease, and Mother of All Plagues would be proud to have a cockatrice work in her name. Although I guess it could take a few lessons in subtlety.
