Do you give your mounts or pets custom names, and if so what are they based on?

I tend to name mine after movie characters they resemble:

Black senche panther mount: Bagheera
Senche lion mount: Shere-Khan
(Future) frost saber mount: Shira
Senche lioness mount: Kiara

Black striped senche pet: Mirage
Moonlight senche tiger pet: Bastet
Daedric scamp pet: Grouch

    My Pony Guar pet is named "Torsten Jr" after the warlord and hero of the Pact Torsten Hartwig.

    My Banekin is named "Pudgyknuckles" in reference to a NPC's familiar from the Pathfinder RPG campaign I am currently running.

    Most of my horses were named by my friend who keeps horses after real horses she has known or knows.

    Otherwise I don't think I really bothered to rename any of them.

    If you are refering to the villan in Simba's pride it is spelled Zira.


    My mounts and pets doesn't have any special names. I mamed my cloud spotted senche "Growl"(some of my favorite bands uses growl song, and it is a feline so it can growl), and my black cat pet Shrödinger.



    I really wanted the black mane senche lion and name him Scar but since it was in crown crates I decided to pass on it.

    Since my only TESO character thus far is Imperial, I initially researched sites for common Italian horse names and pet names:

    Imperial horse mount: Allegro
    Palamino horse mount: Cavallo

    Bravil Retreiver pet: Corrado
    Alik'r Dune-Hound pet: Aldo


    For mounts and pets accumulated afterward, I simply looked up the Italian name of whatever that animal was and named it that.

    I always name my mounts and pets and I try to make it something I think is appropriate but it's often silly or not very original, just as long as I like the sound of it.

    Clouded Senche-Leopard: Niwl - Welsh for mist.
    Ice Wolf: Kashur - A Frostwolf sharman in The Other MMO.
    Imperial Horse: Luna - as in the moon (was tempoarily re-named Binky during the Witches Festival, to match the polymorph).
    Black Horse: Liadri - after Liadri the Concealing Dark from GW2.
    Palomino Horse: Marya - Quenyan for pale or fallow.
    White Mane Horse: Halda - Quenyan for shadowed.

    Bantam Guar: Red - Because he is.
    Echalette: Spike - has spikes.
    Imgakin Monkey: Simach - Welsh for monkey.
    Jackal: Krin - Ta'agra for grin or smile.
    Mudcrab: Claude - literally no idea, it just seemed to fit.
    Northern Lynx: Lumi - as in light (apparently lynx is derived from a word meaning light).
    Pocket Mammoth: Mumak - singular mumakil (it's funny because he's smaller than a regular mammoth...yeah I know my sense of humour is lame).
    Sanguine's Black Goat: Anakin - because of his ambiguous morality and annoying bleat.
    Striated Pony Guar: Taini - sounds like tiny.
    Striped Senche-Panther: Kyr - What my main character's panther familiar/pet is called in every game where she can have one.
    Vermilion Scuttler: Fluffy - because he's not.
    White River Ice Pup: Ghost - Not sure, may have been watching Game of Thrones at the time.

    I started doing this, but stopped a long time ago. I think I have some named, but I am not sure which ones, or what the names are. I don't even know what the default names are.

    First, they span characters, which can mean different naming requirements. An Altmer might name my little cat "Filthy Midget Khajiit" or "Khajiit Slave-In-Training", which my Khajiit might not approve of. I would sign on one day and the Khajiit would have killed the cat and the Altmer.

    Second, no one else can see the names. Unless I look, I can't even see them. I mostly forget they have a name. Dropped ball, lost down the sewer, never to be seen again.
