As the title says, give us your favorite names for your pets

Because the names don’t stick when we swap pets, I like to keep them simple.

Stalker: Pete
Wolf: Gary

I have great imagination.

Ever since birds were super OP. I have named them after whatever I think is the most broken mechanic in the game.

Fiery Greatsword
Burning Speed Evade Frames
Burning Scaling
Daze Mantra
Rampage
Lich Form

Just depends on the balance at the time.

In pvp I give them my character name. It occasionally confuses bad players since taunt and stealth make them drop target.

Out of curiosity, is there any reason why this, after 3 years, has still not been implemented in some fashion (retaining pet names)? Does anyone have any idea? Other competitors to GW2 have had this for a long time, so I don’t understand why it’s never been looked at here.

Names are by family type for me. I can’t decide if my character can’t be bothered to name them more specifically, or is simply engaging in mad science to alter them. Asura are like that.

Roxxy – Drakes
Rokoko – Birds (including Moas)
Rikka – Arthropods (Including Devourers)
Rukk – Jellyfish
Rinn – Fish

Never did figure out a name I like for dogs or cats though.

I don’t think anet has commented on it, but forum members have been arguing back and forth for years about the requirements of storing 20 million (random guess) pet names. Some people say it would strain the system, some say it would be trivial to recall.

I like to call any cat “hairy pawter”
I call wolves “lyca”
spiders “chelicerata”
the white owl “hedwig” the raven “tenebrus”
the eagle “murica” and the hawk “stephen” (he is the king of hawks)

I don’t use the other pets but if for some reason I had to use them they would all be named “bob”

It’s really pity they didn’t find a way to fix the pet naming system. I honestly doubt that it’s difficult to achieve, and would not believe even an official ANet comment to the contrary-they just don’t consider it a priority, even if it’s likely not too hard to program.

I always name them regardless, but it’s an inconvenience when you want to switch pets, so I just make up names that would fit the pet (Karm The Retributor, things like that.)
