Mount and Pet Names

Lets have a little fun with this shall we...

Dose anybody ever rename your Mounts or Pets?
If so, list 4-6 mounts and 6-10 pets that you love and renamed.

Roach for all my 5 horses. "I call all my horses Roach".

I rename all my mounts and pets, sometimes it's just a name which comes into my head when I get them, sometimes I go looking for a meaningful name and sometimes it's a reference to something else.

For example I called the elk mount Halla after the deer from Dragon Age, and the black horse Liadri after a Guild Wars 2 character. My sabre cat is called Gwenodd which is Welsh for 'smiled' after the species name for the sabre tooth tiger - Smilodon populator. (Possibly the most dramatic species name ever, it roughly translates as 'knife-tooth the destroyer'.) But then the shadowghost horse is called Brith, which means speckled, and the white horse is Luna, as in the moon.

Pets tend to have sillier or less formal names. I called the vermillion scuttler Fluffy because he isn't and the Senchal Striped Cat Gobbolino after a character from a series of children's books. The beta monkey I called Simach which is literally just monkey in Welsh (after calling it 'my monkey' for ages before finding out I could rename it anything else seemed weird). Oh and after I called Sanguine's Black Goat Anakin for his ambiguous morality and annoying bleat I had to call the Ninendava Sacred Goat Padme.

That’s awesome! I pretty much do the same with all my mounts and pets too.

I rename all of them too... mostly silly names
Nixhound is 'Duchess'
Fennec is 'Barnaby'
Goats - 'Easton, Whestly, Southron, & Nort'

So far I truly love only 5 mounts and pets I've ever seen in this game: Black Mane lion, Frostbane Sabre cat, Shadow Atronach senche, two Sep Adders I haven't renamed the lion cause I'm ok with his default name Umbrage Two and when I think about him I don't even imagine his name - just beautiful feline creature I'm also ok with default name of Shadow atronach Shadecaller, but for me he's not atronach - he's my beautiful alien who traveled many stars to find me



Beautiful Sabre cat is true miracle, cause I bought just one crate for it



Both Sep Adders are very cute, I really don't think about them in any other words Well, I also think about them as my cute little snakes.





Most of other pets and mounts are not named, or have simple names. For example, Pride King lion is named Golden, or Midnight steed is named Darkness, or Nix Hound is named Hopper. Nix-Ox steed is named Razor for his sharp teeth and fierce muzzle
Among them are two mounts which are also special in some ways.

I got Doom wolf after playing ES Legends - it was the first nice mount I could actually earn by playing the game (except for basic 4 horses), that's why it's special



And Nightmare senche which we got from pre-ordering Summerset - I didn't really expect much from this mount, but her sounds are true nightmare. When I heard them, I was pleasantly shocked and spent many time listening to her roars This mount really surprised me, that's why she's also special.

Turelus

Number of my horses are named after a friends horses she's owned in the past.

My Guar mount my main rides it "Jagu" (Jaguguar)

My main pet is a Pony Guar named "Torsten Jr" after my old raid leader and guild master.

I think my sorc has a Banelin named Pudgyknuckles (reference to Pathfinder Curse of the Crimson Throne)

I honestly don't remember if I named any more. After you stopped seeing the hose names in stables it became less interesting for me.

I can only list a couple of each as I haven't named that many of my pets or mounts yet (mainly because I didn't even know you could rename them until recently), but a few of my favourites are my Magma Scamp called "Char-Grill", my Sep Adder "Sssithis", my Jackal "Anubis", my Frostbane Sabre Cat who I dubbed "Frostbite" (I thought it was a cool pun.... hahaaaaaa okI'llgohomenow), my Psijic Bear Exemplar who answers to "Beansprout", and my Mossy Netch Calf "Mary Bobbins"
