How Did You Name Your Neopets?


Recommended Posts

I don't have much of a system behind how I name my pets. I prefer natural letter combinations, like 'th', 'sh', 'ane', etc., so I play around with them until I find untaken names. I like the long 'e' sound at the end of names so I try a lot of things that end in 'e', 'i', 'ie' or 'y' - without much luck though.

 

Of the pets I have that I named myself, Taphie is probably my favourite. No meaning behind it, I just thought the letters came together nicely and it sounded adorable, perfect for the plushie she now is.

 

I also have Pashun (which I thought sounded like 'passion') and Jidion (which reminds me of Gideon from Criminal Minds since it rhymes), but neither of those are the reason I picked the names.

 

Ultimately, I try and put together something that I can see myself not growing tired of. I don't want to create a pet, sink a ton of NP into training and reading to it, etc., just to get sick of the name.

I only really have one pet that I named, and that's choconanamilkshake - that I named when I was about 10.

(It matches my equally sweet-tooth-esque username, blueberrymuffinpops)

 

All other pets I've ever had were for my avatar adoption agency, and were trades.

 

I can't ever imagine having another pet 'seriously', so I might never name a pet again, but if I do, I'll probably not pay too much attention to whether it is well named or not.

 

What a great question!

Here's mine:

 

burns17 - back when IoM was still active, it was one of the first games on the site I played, and my scorchio was named burns. This pet used to be a scorchio, referencing back to those days.

 

indt17 - who knows? i think indt was a sound one of my grundos made once and i named it thusly. a few transformations and boom a royal grarrl.

 

dellicinhaa - just recieved the pet so not my choosing.

 

Kylar17 - Character from the Night Angel trilogy.

 

Blumario17 - pretty easy to guess...

 

Edgy_17 - My initials have something to do with this one

I only got 2 pets, so here it is:

Xeraphic : I change the S to X from Seraphic

Serpente_del_Male : I use google translate to translate "snake" and "evil" to many language, and finally I found this cool name in Italy (but then it translate back to english as "snake evil" not "evil snake")
