None of my pet's names have any special meaning. I just thought they would fit with them. It started with my original four (who I didn't paint for several years): klawai (eventide Shoyru) kolepia (camouflage Scorchio) Klamania (Spotted Tuskaninny) and Kramak (Tyrannian Grarrl) who I have painted several 'colors' before settling with these ones. Now I knew from the start that I didn't want names with numbers or underscores (that's what these _ are called, right?) and as you could get more and more pets I found out after the 5th or 6th one that I liked the letter k (which is now my favorite letter as you might expect). And I stuck with that ever since. So now along with those previous 4 odd names I got (some of which I transferred from my side to my main after it was possible): Kapilor (starry Ogrin), Kuporion (faerie Techo), Kramarto (dimensional Eyrie), Koricko (desert Korbat), Kleplo (fire Lutari), Kwammar (mutant Bori), Klarton (pink Lenny), Kiyachar (stealthy Gelert), Kirsauk (toy Blumaroo), Kiparak (wraith Chomby), Kaskafil (ice Hissi (the story behind him I told in another forum post)), Kapordo (royalboy Zafara), Karchef (halloween Lupe), Karumpa (electric Draik), Koishar (water Jetsam) and Klopari (rainbow Krawk). And on my side I have an adopted pet (Rin_go_Rawr, a red Xweetok) and one of my own (my most recent) to keep it company: Kupakwa (blue Kyrii who I'm hoping gets to be candy one day). So yeah. There you have my wierd naming choices. XD

I'm curious about other ppl's choices for pet names. Do you name your pets after RL pets? People? Relatives? here's mine so far Tibotheus (main) - magma gnorbu named after my beloved cat Tibbotheus who one day said 'EFF YOU' and ran away. Furbreezio - baby bruce - i just liked the sound of it. Mootious - baby kau - he's a cow and cows go moo Tidal_Waverson - water lutari - his tail looks like a wave Lady_Earl - christmas vandagyre - named after a baby cat i had named lady earl grey Gaevriel - striped jetsam - well....how could i not? lol i'm gonna make him a mutant some day last but not least... Carrol_Baskin - yellow kacheek - no explanation should be needed for this one. not sure what i'll paint or morph her into.

I know exactly what you're talking about lol my original pets were lazy names and had lots of numbers. i really like the thought you put into your current pet names.

Update: Kind of funny since Erataz I consider to be my most level-headed pet. Haha

All of my original pets (from 2001 or so) have TERRIBLE names because I had no idea what I was doing and took whatever abominable string of numbers and underscores Neopets unhelpfully suggested I append to my original (taken) choice. These include Angel_Rules_2001, Ally_Anna33, Sigma123_2001, and Zena1305. Yikes, but... y'know. It is what it is. I'm too attached to them to ever do anything about it. All of the names of pets that I created post-2001 (which really just means 2020ish to present, lol) are very carefully chosen and have special meanings. I like to either find a unique but related word for their eventual appearance (color/species), or combine a few until I get something that sounds like what I want. Rivulett, my Maraquan Lutari, is just an alternative spelling of Rivulet (which was already taken), meaning "a very small stream" Samsanthea, my Island/Christmas crosspainted sunflower Kau, got her mashup name from the Hebrew "Samson", meaning "like the sun", and the Greek "Thea", or "goddess". This one is also extra fun because I have synesthesia and the colors of all of the letters in her name - it’s a very autumnal palette - are present in her customization! Amplexicaul, my Woodland Techo, is a term that describes a specific type of leaf; fitting, then, for a leaf-footed gecko! HedleyKow, my lab rat (currently a Pastel Bruce, which is actually super cute), is named after a mischievous faerie tale elf whose most notable quality is shapeshifting to play harmless tricks on unsuspecting passersby; again, perfect for a pet whose entire purpose is to let me play around with the lab ray. ETA Primordhia, my new Chomby as of Chomby Day, whose name comes from "primordial" for obvious reasons; I think I'll eventually paint her Relic!

Rembarant - blue meerca - My brother named him, I think he was going for Rembrandt, like the artist, and just didn't know how to spell it. Erataz - red acara - Idk, my brother named him, too Ghazikhanian - red kacheek - Also named by my brother, after an X-Men character Varegase - purple grundo - My brother again. I think also some kind of Marvel character. I was five when I signed up, so I just let my brother do whatever he wanted. Lol

Dang, yeah cats can be funny like that. It took our two cats like a month to get used to each other, before then they'd basically divided up the house and wouldn't go near each other. I'm glad to hear that he's doing alright, though! A very french look, indeed! It is a lovely name, I originally offered on him (I think he was a lupe at the time?) because Giovanni's Room was one of those ~formative books~ for me growing up. Oddly though, it still took me a while to really get attached to him? Has that ever happened to anyone else? I went back and forth over whether or not to retrade him for like a good five or six months. But I'm thoroughly attached now, I've been trying to get him a gold petpet because I think it would be fun if his backstory was that he stole it and went on the run, and that's why he's skulking around Meridell instead of out on the open seas.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo i'm SO (not) shocked! This post has been edited by a member of staff (Duma) because of a violation of the forum rules. Please keep your posts at 7 words or above. Per the reason above, please review our SPAM rules.

Update: I did not win. I'm sure you are all shocked by this revelation.

You don't even need to make a page in your gallery for them, there's existing albums for them on the site. But yes, the TCGs have no purpose.

I get annoyed easily and here's one of many things that annoys me on the neopets guild board. There are a lot of good guilds advertising their lovely guilds and taking the time to bump their threads to the top of the page. There's quite a few of them, but still people keep posting threads "are there any active guilds out there?" or "looking for a guild' or 'guildless!!!!!1', or my favorite "recruit me!!". Is this laziness? Narcissism? Idiocy in general? I should probably just relax but my guild has put me in charge of recruitment and i'm just tired and annoyed with trying to convince ppl to join my guild. don't make me chase you, i just got my cast off and my leg hurts. ok, done being annoyed for at least 5 minutes.

Congratulations to your Grandfather's 79th Birthday! Your cake looks amazing! Well done!

the fat, orange jerk ran away last august after my other cat had a litter of kittens. his nose was out of joint and he took off. there has been sightings of him around town and i've been told he's still fat so somebody must be feeding him. i had a RL cat named Giovanni and i love that name. what comes to mind for me is a blumaroo dressed in a striped shirt and a beret, holding a ciggy. an italian name but a french look lol i really like the names you came up with.
