I have, I believe 80 companions between 16 characters so far. I have 2 slots for two more characters which will end up being at least 10 more companions. Not even going to try to tell you all unless I get really, really bored or ambitious.

At the time of this post, I think these are all the companions on 'Old Zeb' in his active and idle slots, who has a copy of all the companions I have gotten on any character (e.g. If I want a companion on a certain character and 'Old Zeb' doesn't have it yet, I'll get another for 'Old Zeb').
My "humanoid" companions are generally named after lesser NPCs of my own creation in my paper & pencil campaign.
My "magical" creature companions are generally named after schools of magic, arcane age and present day.
My "planar" or "divine" companions are generally named after servants of the gods.
There are a few exceptions, like "Windsor" and "Spencer" which are named in respect to my family ties with those two families in real life and some like, "gooy goblin" were named by my nieces and nephew while "Smedeley" and "Zoar" are named after real life pets that have passed.
I generally stay away from naming companions after real NPCs in the Realms.
I color coded the type of companion, showing their base rank. Except for the Ioun Stone of Allure, I upgraded it to Legendary, so I listed it as Legendary. It comes as Rare.

I've recently had two additions to the pack - Minstrel: Elvis and Mini Apparatus of Gond: T-800
I do prefer to call my pets (especially augs) by a names of my fav bands. For instance, my Mini-Apparatus of Gond is named A7X (Avenged Sevenfold). It is because if somebody inspects your "wow-what-is-that" companion, they instantly get to know your kind of music. Anyone else up with this trend?

Ly'saaera, Hellbringer Fury Scourge Warlock of Thieves World Hælja, Swordmaster Conqueror Guardian Fighter of Thieves World
I try to give my companions thematic names. But i think my GWF has the silliest: Burns - Fire Archon Blows - Air Archon Hits - Siege Master Crits - Erinyes of Belial Rocks - Earth Archon
I only have a few myself and i call them all the same name, Raistlin thats right just like Raistlin Majere from the Dragonlance Chronicles a fantasitic trilogy of books, anyone familiar with them will know what a great, and evil character Raistlin truly was
Fire Archon -> Fury Earth Archon -> Hadar Air Archon -> Eldritch Erinyes -> Glasya Owlbear Cub -> Phlegethos

It does really depend on the character I'm on. My GF "Trent Steele" has a retinue of companions like "Waylon Smithers", "Selma Beauvier", and "Moe". (Trivia: "Trent Steele" was the name of Max Powers new best friend. "Max Power" was the name Homer Simpson chose to change to, resulting in zany hijinks...)
Another character has companions all named after hockey players. (The battlerager is called "Domi" :-p)
I have crafted 5 companions for each PC. Using online language K have 5+ Elven names,5 Dwarven ames, tne remaining hybryd names. I'll list them out, when I get the list out.
I only have three (my first one was not really creative...) Tank - Man at arms (Named after the Mysticon Knight) Emerald - Shieldmadin (IDK how i came up with this name! But my favorite of them) Natu - Air Cultist
