I’m curious how many people are naming pets after their guildmates. 😃 Also, I’m curious if people have a naming strategy for them. So far, I have two named after guildmates: Eika and Evolving Beast. (Plus, I have some already planned for pets that I don’t own yet. :P) I also have one named for my cat, Capone. All the rest are movie references. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/a/0/a07dee446aff6824b13d6b65d9315a0a7fed1559.jpg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/1/61b47445c9f05fabe55d2a8ab7e26dbf6bf4f5dc.jpg) ---

I plan on naming all my pets after something from a show, movie, video game, etc that I think fits them (either as their pet type or specific looks) For example, with the hat and dark fur, I thought of witches and the cat from Sabrina for Lucky. So, I named him Salem (the cat’s name in the series) Bakay (the last name of the actor who voiced him). With the Snow Bunny, I wanted to go with a humanoid rabbit (think Bugs or Lola Bunny from Looney Tunes). I settled on King Kazma, which is a reference to the Anime movie, Summer Wars. That’s the name of one of the charscters avatars and he looks like a Rabbit. ---

Those are cool naming conventions. 😃 For Lucky, I considered naming him after “Blair”, a cat that transforms into a witch from the anime “Soul Eater”. But, I couldn’t resist naming him after my real life black cat. 😅 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/c/b/cb3fd2dcd54147d99bb5f3a82a8a15c98bf7be10.jpg) Blair is the cat with the hat. 😺 ---
