Do you name your pets and mounts?

TheNuminous1

I named my psijiic domino pig Taarie. from that snooty altmer in solitude.

Yes I rename one or some of them.

I don't rename mounts and pets I either don't like or don't really use. But I named the warden bear mount Ursoc. WoW reference, and Ursa is latin for bear. Named my Witch Knight Charger Phantom, my Imperial horse Everest. My senche Leopard Shadow and my Shadowghost leopard Ghost. I like naming them.

I always rename mine. Even in games where you can't put in a name at all I often name my pets and mounts so it'd seem very weird to me not to do it when the option is there, even when they have a default name.

The names I use vary wildly, both in terms of style and how much thought goes into them, but the deciding factor is always that it seems right for the animal. For example the white horse from the Imperial edition is called Luna, just because the word came into my head when I got her, but the nightfall sabre cat is called Gwenodd which is Welsh for 'he smiled' - because the Latin name for sabre tooth tigers is Smilodon populator, which actually means Knife-tooth the destroyer (most badass species name ever?) but of course the first part sounds like smile-o-don. A name which sounds happy and friendly but actually means something dangerous seemed perfect for this mount. It's in Welsh because I thought it looked better than English or Latin (and I used the past tense because the word smile simply translates as Gwen, and the cat looked very much like a boy and is not white or holy which is what the name Gwen means).

Yes I understand that mindset I often use latin translations for names when I cannot make one up from scratch, and its down to what the creature seems like to me.

I rename mine and I wish that other people could mouse over and see the names because I try to be appropriate and creative, but I WELL understand that many others would not be appropriate so I get why they can't be visible. It's a pity.

I'm especially proud of my sparkle horse. I named her Grimdark The Edglord (they need to give us more letter spaces).

Perhaps if it was an option in your menu, just like other things, whether you want to see nameplates, health bars etc, an option that just says "See player pet names" would solve that

Agreed with both of you.That also sounds epic "Knife-Tooth the destroyer" hehe cool!

I don't use welsh. But sometimes my imagination is lacking so I try some Latin translations. In some situations a good name just comes to me. Like the Bay Dun Horse, I named my Dawn. It is a very yellow horse. It is fun to name them to. Flame Atronach horse - Inferno. Nightmare Courser - War.

Before most of my characters started riding the flame kagouti, they rode guars, and I called those guars Bullet, due to how fast they were and their head's shape (especially with the stamina armor).

Hi @Glaiceana,

Thanks for the suggestion. Name plates for mounts and pets in specific places sound like a really fun idea!

We'd also like to thank you all for sharing your feedback and pet names, we really love seeing all the funny, creative, and cute pet and mount names that those of you who have used the option to rename have come up with. The Striped Guar named Cloud-Jumper, Snorri the Goat, and Gary the Bear are just a few of our favorites. We hope more of you decide to share, we can't wait to see more of these.

@ZOS_Holden Thank you. I really love that name for the guar
