Name That Pet: Khaja’s Bear

Final name: Skittels

This episode of Name That Pet is brought to you by Faeldray of Petaholics Anonymous, who’s young hunter Khaja is looking for a name for her bear.

Faeldray says:

I have a pet that I can’t for the life of me decide on a name for. It’s a diseased brown bear (more specifically Deathclaw) that my new troll hunter Khaja travelled all the way to Bloodmyst Isle for. It’s really strange that I picked him because I don’t like bears and I really don’t like the whole diseased look. Yet this bear is exactly the pet Khaja needed! She went through scorpions, windserpents, and tallstriders only to end up dissatisfied with them all. In my frustration to find her the perfect pet, I came across this guy in Petopia and figured why not?

There’s no type of name that I really want for him. It can be funny or gross or scary or whatever.

As for who Khaja is…well, I haven’t really played her enough to get a sense of personality from her. One thing is for sure, she talks with that Jamaican accent or whatever it is that trolls talk like. You know, like “Stay away from da voodoo, mon”. I love that accent!

Here’s Khaja with her bear! (Click on the thumbnail for a better view.)

Khaja and her bear

So … whaddya think? What’s a good name for Khaja’s bear?

Update: Faeldray has a summary post on her blog. I think she has plenty of options to choose from, so let’s give her a chance to pick one now. :>

    Epicdemic, Grisly (Grizzly), “Ursus Horribilis”-Scientific name of Grizzly bear, another name for grizzly is “Silvertip” cuz of the silver on the bump on its back. Maybe Tarnish or Corroded. Cat, Otter, Bear, CareBear, Dontcarebear…Bahr?

    Going with a slight troll-esque theme possibly for some reason the name “Ungraya” comes to mind. Pronounced “Oon-Gray-Yah”…other than that, I got nothin’!

  4. Washku - December 13th, 2007 @ 1:58 pm UTC

    I would say “Yamaan”, if you like the troll accent.

  5. ChessElemental - December 13th, 2007 @ 1:58 pm UTC

    Deathclaw perhaps? *wink*

    Hmm… female troll… diseased bear…

    “Pretty” “Tethcler” (I dunno why, made that one up).

    Stick with something related to diseases, like Withered, Leprosy, Rotten, or Curdle. Or, go for the ironic look and pick “Cuddles.”

    Here’s a few suggestions:

    1. Khadaver

    2. Bearenstein

    3. DK (or Decay if you think people will be oblivious to the reference.)

    4. Little John (From Disney’s version of Robin Hood.)

    5. Wakawaka (Saying made famous by Fozzie Bear of the Muppets.)

    I also like the name “Swipe” :-)

  10. Caiti - December 13th, 2007 @ 5:21 pm UTC

    Swipe reminded me of a possible name…”Yoink!”

    Yoink = to thieve…to swipe…to steal thine goodz! :P

  21. nox - December 15th, 2007 @ 9:46 am UTC

    @ #20: Shardik is also a giant cyborg-bear which guards one of the time beams in stephen kings famous “gunslinger” books.

    It’s appropriate, ironic, disgusting, and cutesy.

  25. lepidus - December 16th, 2007 @ 3:14 pm UTC

    “Prophecy” was a move from 1979 about Bears that where exposed to nuclar waste! and he looks just like one of them

  26. Ansawa - December 16th, 2007 @ 4:48 pm UTC

    Shardik.

    It works well for a diseased bear if you’re a Dark Tower nerd like me. ;D

  27. Pietro722 - December 17th, 2007 @ 3:21 am UTC

    How about Tazdingo? That way Khaja actually says her pet’s name!

  32. sprinkles - December 18th, 2007 @ 9:26 am UTC

    well no offence to the druids out there
    but how about ‘ExFeral’

  33. Messyah - December 18th, 2007 @ 11:26 am UTC

    Hey Lepidus, I still remember the scene in that movie where the bear/beast/monster swatted the kid in the sleeping bag and he exploded into a cloud of feathers and linen. That movie was so cheesey and so wicked. LOL

  34. Messyah - December 18th, 2007 @ 11:29 am UTC

    Dood may have something with the name “Skittles”. You could have an emote that says, “Taste the rainbow, b*tches!” LOL

  35. Aponea - December 19th, 2007 @ 5:44 pm UTC

    I’d say… “ebonlaes” (translation: black death) or “landavarian”

  36. tinytroll - December 20th, 2007 @ 7:27 am UTC

    With a name like Khaja, if you ever listened to 80′s music you just have to name it some form of googoo.

  37. Kifyi - December 20th, 2007 @ 6:18 pm UTC

    I would name it Plague.

  38. shylah - December 21st, 2007 @ 11:54 am UTC

    how about penicillin?

  39. RedOne - December 21st, 2007 @ 1:50 pm UTC

    Try Dceased,JahMal,SoulJah or Ninjah(it’s a troll pet,right)

  40. Mania - December 21st, 2007 @ 2:59 pm UTC

    Faeldray has a summary post on her blog. I think she has plenty of options to choose from, so let’s give her a chance to pick one now. :>

  41. Faeldray - December 22nd, 2007 @ 12:27 pm UTC

    I just wanted to say thanks everyone for the name suggestions and to Mania for featuring Khaja. I’ll let everyone know when I’ve picked a name and what it is. :)

  42. Stephf - December 23rd, 2007 @ 2:04 am UTC

    Maybe ‘Fang’?

  43. Faeldray - December 31st, 2007 @ 2:17 pm UTC

    Here’s my final decision on the bear’s name if anyone is interested.
