I can't for the life of me think of a good name for my Hammerfell Camel. It's default name Bumbiter... well, just nope. That is why I now turn to the forums for your suggestions. I hope it'll help me find the perfect one.

iam117✭✭✭do you pvp? i would name that shite "ispitonyourgrave" but in all seriousness, what about sandy, or sahara, or something a traditional camel companion would likely be named? my cheap tan horse for example is named "trigger" get it?<Liv3mind><PC/NA - Legion Of The Bloodworks>Snowflake Patrol1 -
Saoirse_Siobhan✭✭✭✭✭Lol, no I don't pvp. Trigger? My fatigue-addled brain doesn't get it, sorry
Well I could name him Alik'r as a Tamrielic version of Sahara. I dunno... PC/EU DC0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Cool, I found a guy from the Middle East talking about naming Camels. While my post above was supposed to be a joke, they actually do name their camels based on how often they drink water. Who would have thought?
http://www.thenational.ae/arts-life/comment/ask-ali-how-to-name-your-camel
From the site:
Dear Ali: I am fascinated with camels. I went to the camel festival this year and someone told me that camels can have many names. How is that possible? KS, Germany
Dear KS: Ah, finally, someone asked me a question about camels! Yes, in the Arab world, camels have long been given names. There are names for female and male camels, and names common for both genders.
"Ibil" and "Hijen" are the most common names given to both genders and camels of all sizes. From these, new names branch out according to the size, development stage and characteristics of the camel.
"Al Fahl" is a common name for male camels, referencing their procreative powers. "Addawser" is given to camels that are big in size. "Al Haml" is for camels that wander around the desert without a master, and "Al Midifaa" is given to camels that have a lot of fat and woolly skin.
Female camels have many more names than males. "Al Bikra" means a virgin, so it is for camels that haven't mated. "Al Hail" is for camels that have mated but never carried a baby. "Al Ashraa", which means 10, is a name given to a camel that is pregnant to the 10th month. If a camel has given birth prior to her due time, she is called "Al Saood".
Baby camels are called "Al Heeran" or "Futtaim" if they are still nursing after their first year.
"Al Mataya" or "Al Rahila" is a name given to a young camel that people can ride. "Al Shamlal" is for a camel that is light and fast, and "Al Sharif" is for a camel that is old, tired and slow.
Camels also are named for the way they drink water:
. "Al Gasreed" - when a camel does not drink much water.
. "Al Ghab" - when a camel drinks once every two days.
. "Al Rabea" - when a camel drinks every three days.
. "Melwah" - when a camel is always thirsty.
. "Al Riffa" - when a camel drinks water at any time.
Many specialists agree that there are more than 1,000 camel names, and names can differ from country to country. Even though it may be hard to keep up with them all, it is fascinating to know that camels are not named randomly. Even specialists admit they have more to learn about camels.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Mozsta69✭✭✭Well when i rode my first camel here in Australia , what struck me was the way they just carried themselves, as a human observing and relating to human terms they seemed to have a 'swag or arrogant' type energy, you could tell they are independent creatures....so I'd go with a posh name of some type......like Edward or Hubert or something lol0 -
Saoirse_Siobhan✭✭✭✭✭I decided to look up the Yoku language for inspiration, and came up with some names but still can't decide:
Rayusot'r (great/strong ego)
Durabatek (old soul)
Ra Let (Great spirit)
Duptlet or Duptbatek (Restless spirit or Restless soul)
They're kinda meh but I came up with a cool name for my future Fennec Fox : Mluomura (loves cheese)

✭Camel McCamelfaceLiving vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"
