Name That Pet: Hawkspirit’s Owl

Final name: Skytalon

Here’s the next entry in our ongoing “contest”: Name! That! Pet! [add canned applause here]

Today we have a request from Caiti from One Among Many. Her level 70 Tauren hunter Hawkspirit needs help finding a name for her owl. The owl has also just hit 70!

Caiti writes:

Like my name, I do find the owl fitting of me. I don’t RP and am just on a pve server…but I think the owl suits me. It helps that he annoys the heck out of the alliance.

And she sent this picture of them together. (Click on the thumbnail for a better view.)

So, whaddya think? What’s a good name for Hawkspirit’s beautiful brown owl?

Update: Caiti has compiled a list over at her blog and is trying to choose! Head on over there and give her a hand.

  1. Well if you want a boy name i would go with one of these: Furion (fury-on), Riku, Nyroc (nye-rock), Talon, Firewing, Phoenix, Fireclaw, Blaze, Firestorm, Scree, Flamespirit, Freespirit, Spirit, Sky, Dusk, Twilight.

    For a girl name: Thunderia (thunder-a), Hawkfrost, Hawk, Sky, Cleo, Nyrana (Nye-ran-a), Kia, Nycrow, Skysoul, Frostsoul, Icestorm, Featherspirit, Spirithunter, Kirie (ki-ree), Fearia (fear-rea) Nightwing, Flamedria (flame-dre-a), Dracka (Drake-a), Thundreia (thundre-a), Jinx.

    lol just some ideas ^^

  2. Hm.. i had a owl once. his name was Griftah.
    Then i got another owl. his name was BrianPeppers.

    Coprophilia is better tbh (yes i know the meaning :b)

  3. I used to have an owl named Chesticles (some people would get the hooters to owl reference)
    Though with me a short time, Chesticles was a favourite in guild chat.

  4. I always felt owls need a special name. In Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time the giant brown owl’s name was Kaepora Gaebora, one of those might be good

  5. WoW owls have such a strong resemblence to the Great Owl that I have always been fond of naming mine ‘NIMH’. (or Nimh if you dislike an all-caps name)

  6. Wikipedia suggests a number of current and historic Latin genus names for owls, some of which seem serviceable: Strix, Bubo, Nyctea, Ketupa, Athene, Ninox, Asio, Tyto, Otus. For a Tauren, I’d go with Otus.

    My Orc hunter’s usual pet, though, is a carrion bird named “Lawyer”.

  7. This is a blast from the past, I doubt anyone will get it, but I called one of my brown owls Eks, and I had a white owl I called Cigar

  8. My Dwarf has an orange owl (I love it!), and I named it “Tootsie.” As in the owl that decided it only takes 3 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll, though a couple of folks have thought it was based more on the sound an owl makes. Then again, if I was basing the name on sound, I’d call him “Screeeeech!Screeeeech!Screeeeech!Screeeeech!Screeeeech!Screeeeech!Screeeeech!GiveTheTankAHeadache!”

  9. I’ve always named my hunter pets based on what type of animal they were. Flyers were always named after planes and such like. A favorite of mine for owls is Dauntless.

  10. So many great name ideas!

    Mania, I forget – do you choose one of these names or do I? There’s too many for me to choose just one! Cant I name my own Kotoritaurenspiritguidesoulmatedauntkahootless? lol

  11. Here’s a few suggestions from me:

    1. Icarus - (Winged man in Greek Mythology who fell to the earth because his wings burned away when he flew too close to the sun.)

    2. Hastur - (Cthulhu Elemental God of Air – created by H.P. Lovecraft)

    3. Horus - (Egyptian Sun God who had the head of a bird)

    4. Wakinyan - (WAH-KIN-YUN) (Lakota Indian for “Thunderbird”)

    5. Piishii - (PEE-SHEE) (Apache Indian for “Nighthawk”)

  12.

  13. Adam, you’re word “lubber” reminds me of some amusing gchat sayings…they used the word lub (love) when speaking about kara in the message of the day once. Then it got the ball rolling…

    guildie1: lub for kara!
    guildie2: wheres my lub?
    me: I lub youuuuuuuuuuuu!
    guildie1: rofl lubby lub lub
    message of the day changed without word “lub”
    me: No more lub?!
    gulidie1: zomg we’re going to die lubless!!!!!

    something like that…it was rather amusing.

  14. Jurchin – lol too funny…I wonder if they’d get it…like at the end of the match…

    Alliance 1: dude, that hunter flipped the bird at us…
    Alliance 2: o_0
