My eldest pets have horrible names as well as I was just a teenager and let Neopets "help" with suggestions:
luckje2000: Eventide Kacheek with Robot housing (My battle pet)
_roll_over_: Cloud jubjub because when I created it I watched the little "movie" and they were rolling over the hills making me think of "Roll over Beethoven"
aapke_2000: Halloween Mynci (Guess I really had no inspiration for names back then)
__xian__: Fire Shoyru (I just really like Xian a lot as a name)
wudahS: Shadow backwards and misspelled is a Baby Xweetok
Later I created more pets thinking of better names:
RyujinShin: Mutant Draik (Ryujin is a dragon in Japanese mythology, Shin is part of shinrin yoku which means forest bathing)
Vinyama: One of my lab rats, at the moment Blue Kacheek means Animal in Swahili
Kyanwa: Spotted kougra (means Cat in Hausa)
Peresan: Second labrat, at the moment a blue flotsam (I think it meant something or is derived of something meaning organism or animal or something like that but I can't remember)
Zenmiya: Candy Zafara (As far as I remember didn't had a meaning, just a name I came up with)
Noctate: Shadow Korbat (Noctus means the night in latin)
Ostcar: adopted this one, Stealth Hissi
Servivu: Third labrat, at the moment a water Grundo (Ser Vivu Means organism in Spanish)
I still want a UC Faerie draik as that is my dream pet, but I don't have a name yet (Or maybe in the future RyujinShin will be turned into the UC faerie Draik. Who knows. It will most certainly be named something Japanese as I'm learning Japanese right now and I really like the language. Also, whenever I think of Dragons I think of Japan.
