OK, I get it, you got a furry little white Halas kitten as a freebie pet from the SOE store and you want to name it so that it's personally yours while it follows you around. But please people... grow a shred or originality and name it something other than "snowflake" or "snowball" PLEASE!!!!!

You're making me wish the damn things were attackable! Seriously, every time I run by one named snowflake, I just want to lop off it's furry little meowing head! And that ain't right!

Well, they come with the name Snowflake. So that's why you see so many. And I'll admit - some of mine are still named that because I haven't thought up a new name for them yet. I'm working on it though!

My cats are named:

Creepy, Devilcat, Possessed, Scoundrel.. and the other two names escape me at the moment. I think you get the picture though! Smiley: grin

And yes, Snowflake is the default name, I think most people don't care/don't know how to change fluff pet names.

This. The only 3 names I've come up were Fauxepaws, Minime (I have a white kerra named Alfur that just looks too cute being followed around by his mini), and Nosecandy... I mean it is white.

I hate to inform you Hubert, but someone stole away your kitty overnight! It was been recruited into the cat army of Kittens with Spooky Glowing Blue Eyes.

The only one I've claimed so far is named Priss.

I may name them all Priss, with the understanding that she tags along after whichever character happens to be active.

I named my Halas kitten Socks, I think. After one of my own cats.

My necro pets, though, I had some fun with. The plain skeleton tank is called Clickeyclack. The armored Iksar skelly, Clickeyclank. The froglok skelly, Clicketycroak. And my mage zombie is Lurch because when he walks he, well, lurches.

My character name, though, is the best.

Well ok I must know, what's your character name? My nec's name is not very Necroish...but an inside joke between me and my real life friend who got me into EQ2 (as well as EQ1 when we played). She's always called me her 'pet ***', obviously that name would not make it past the filter... but Gaftep did. Smiley: grin

If you are parse crazy though you may want to change your pets name to your characters name however, this way instead of parsing you and your pet separate it will parse them together for your total dps.

I wanted to use Roderick Burgess, the Lord Magus of The Order of the Ancient Mysteries from Neil Gaiman's Sandman. But it wouldn't let me, so I used Roderickroll.

Once I could add a last name, I just had to use Nevergonnagiveyouup.

OK, so the only cat I've bothered renaming is named Thefamousdeer. Why? Because my halfling fury who owns her is named Deerchaser Wheredthedangdeergo. And, well, to be followed around by Thefamousdeer...

If ya dont get it by now nevermind... lol
