Name That Pet: Dragon’s Boar
Final Name: Pigassus
Dragon, a Bloodelf hunter from the Thrall server, would like our help. Dragon writes:
This is my 3rd hunter, and I plan to get her to 70 just like the others. She is a Bloodelf MM hunter named Dragon and I play on Thrall server Horde side. For this character I’ve tamed Princess from Elwynn Forest for her beauty and I like to have pets that people will instantly remember when I explain where they came from. I just love the way she squeals when she uses Charge, and she makes me giggle when she uses Charge under water or around a tree.
For the life of me I can’t think of a name for her though. I’m trying to find something simple and that you don’t have to think about (like my name) and something that would kind of match my name too. I am nothing without her and she has saved my life countless times, so I think she deserves an awesome name.

I think you should name her, Leia.. as in Princess Leia. ^_^
i think i would name it
Knight or Blood
like the combo from Dragon Knight or Blood Dragon…
When I see the name Dragon I automatically hear things like Dragon Riders of Pern.
But I did a couple runs around on the net to find some past and new dragon names that might match your lovely little boar there ^-^
Chenth (Brown)
Malirth (Brown? Bronze?)
Rasenth (Blue, Brown?)
Rhodrolth (Brown?)
Kevalth (Brown? Blue?)
Tanulth (Blue, Brown)
Vanlith (Brown)
And for some book dragons <3
Glaurung - A fire breathing dragon from J.R.R Tolkien’s Middle Earth, known as “The Deceiver”.
Scatha - A long-worm from the Grey Mountains in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, known as “Scatha the Worm”.
Tintaglia - One of the two remaining dragons from the Tawny Man trilogy by Robin Hobb. The other is Icefyre.
And then for the greater list of dragon names if you are into such things for a pet you can take a gander over at

^^ Plenty of names for your lovely boar <3
I’m going to come in from left field with a silly one: Pigasus! For some reason, “pegasus” struck me as a neat name. Mix it with pig and… ;)
I always name my boar pets Bacon.
I second Kanaan’s suggestion of Pigasus, and if you don’t pick that then I’m gonna steal it for myself, heehee!
Maybe a real name would be cute and simple, like Stanley, George, or Piggifred (Winnifred!), etc.
Dragon and Stanley? Cute! Unless it’s a girl. Then Dragon and Piggifred is super win.
I hope you find something you like! You and the pig look great together. Happy Questing!
How about…Princess? Goes with dragon, because after all, what’s a dragon without a princess?
Pigley, Bacon, Hammy, or Fred.
Actually… Go with ARNOLD THE PIG! Too bad your pig can’t slime people.
Well, i keep thinking Panzer. Shes saved your life and seems to be able to hold her own, fair example of a tank and then i think theres some game Panzer Dragon? correct me if im wrong lol
I agree- Princess. plain and simple, but obvious.
Mikeoneal: I believe that’s Panzer Dragoon.
My wife named her boar Pietrain. Pietrain is a breed of pig and it’s also a description of her pie-eating boar’s digestive tract.
I’ve always liked simple names as well, and I usually try to link them with the animal in question, so here are some ideas:
Rath (as a corruption of wrath, and this happens to be the name of my windserpent)
Tusk or Tusker
Ivory, as referring to the ivory tusks
Snouter
Amarillo, which is “yellow” in Spanish with the double-L sounding like a Y
Fatty
Squeal or Squealer
Rush or Rusher
Nosy
Maim or Maimer
Scythe, which is the a I gave The Rake once
anything short and simple is always good.
Spiderpig?
Or maybe Truffle?
Why not leave her name as Princess… Dragons are always capturing princess’! :)
Ember or Amber.
Have you heard of a little fantasy book series by Mary Brown, that starts with a book called The Unlikely Ones? In it, there’s a little pig character with wings who is called Wimperling. Wimperling turns out to be a dragon in the end though =^.^=
It may not inspire fear into the hearts of your enemies, but Wimperling was a true friend to the heroine of the book.
I once had a boar I named Kaiser (Emperor in German, although I’m Dutch :P), now I have the black armor plated boar from RFK which I named KaiserX, keeping the name but on a higher level … like Megaman X :P
Kinda nabish … I know xD
“Fire”.
Seems appropriate for a Dragon to have Fire rushing ahead of her.
Could she be a he? If so, I’d suggest George, as in George and the Dragon.
I sedond Ember/Amber, it suits her color and how you are named Dragon.
If those don’t fit, maybe “Wilbur”if it is a boy and “Charlotte” if it is a girl. Just some suggestions!
Note — sorry if these where already suggested, so many that I did not read through them all!
Nice pet!
I named my boar Tuskalina, but Tuskington and Rooter were other strong contenders.
Here’s what I suggest…
Serious names…
1 - “Goresnout”
2 - “Chloe” (Sounds like a good pig name)
3 - “Grimjaw”
4 - “Pern” (As in Dragonriders of Pern)
5 - “Whippersnapper”
Fun Names…
1 - “Otherwhitemeat”
2 - “Porkfromork”
3 - “Sawseige” (reads as “sausage”)
4 - “Applebreath” (Pigs are often roasted with an apple in their mouth)
5 - “Hammydavisjr”
hehe dobs i tried Princess allready and it says that it is an invald name. altho i like Pigasus a lot. anyone else got some ideas?
I suggest either Tiger (as in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) or Fly (as in Dragonfly).
I think ToughJerky!
I love Princess! My Draenei hunter tamed her as her first pet (It’s a long way from Azurmyst Isle to Elwynn if you are Lvl 12…) and I still love her at lvl 53. I named her Prìncess. Accents in names are somewhat silly, but I just couldn’t resist keeping the name. ;)
Addition: Wrong accents are silly. No offense to people with french names! :)
And I like Pigasus a lot.
Amberfat
Goulash
Sausage
Bacon
Ham

My pet boar’s name is Boaregard…
I’ve names boars I’ve had…
“Squee”
“Thistle”
“Gnawgahyde”
“Kisses” is the best name for a boar, ever. Sadly, it doesn’t work well with my male dwarf hunter. =[
Spam
Blitz
Rush
Quillian
Since your name is Dragon, the name that came to mind for me was Slayer.
LOL princess its so obvious its perfect 4 a sweet little boar
Jeez louise! C’mon people, this is supposed to be a pretty little “LADY”. Give the pig some dignity for cryin’ out loud!
call it erm..
Cuddles
Crumpet
Cherry
Wiggles
Flo
Sapph(well thats after my char :P)
Sniffles
Huggles
xeon( thats a cool name for a cool piggy :D)
No, no, no. You have to name her something personal, something that describes who she is on the inside.
For instance, I named my boar Squirts, because he’s had chronic bowel trouble ever since I tamed him at lvl 11.
Fiona
I still think ToughJerky
Draconia goes well with Dragon. Its stemmed from the latin word Draco which I think means dragon…and I put a littl nia at the end to make it girly lol
If you r looking for something to match your dragon name, y not go with something like Draco, Drake, Whelp, or Wyrmling.
A name of a yellowish food?
Biscuit
Custard
Butterscotch
Toffee
Butter
Chiffon (either for the cake or the fabric)
Strudel
Or a reference to your pet’s fondness for food?
Epicure
Epicurus
Gourmet
Gourmand
Glutton
Palate
Appetite
Gusto
Relish
Savor
Or perhaps an ironic reference to your pet’s excellent breeding and manners?
Dainty
Posh
Swank
Chic
Style
Genteel
Polish
Prim
Dapper
Or a reference to its portly dimensions?
Plush
Cushion
Davenport
Curvaceous
Buxom
Zaftig
Dragon, I just looked at your request again and realized that you’ve already decided your boar is female. That eliminates some of the names I suggested that have more masculine connotations such as Dapper.
Looking back through all the names I offered, I have say that there’s one in particular that goes well with the name Dragon. I think Dragon and Chiffon sound great together. The names almost rhyme, but Dragon, with its hard consonants and accent on the first syllable has a very masculine sound while Chiffon with its softer consonants and accent on the second syllable sounds very feminine. And Chiffon has an elegant princessy feel to it–all fluffy cake and sheer fabric. Besides, a food-related name just seems right for a boar!
So there’s my vote:
Dragon and Chiffon
Flame - Along similar lines to #20 (Leviath), but I like the word better personally :)
I am currently leveling a MM horde hunter and named my boar PORKCHOP.
hmmm how about Pedoboar?
I always name my boars Riblet
How about “Nago”? That was the demon-boar from Princess Mononoke. Or if something more lighthearted is required you could go with an alternative on the pork product theme with “hamsammich” or something. :-)
Well I have a boar on my Dwarf Hunter whom I named “Snuffles” Cuz thats what she does when shes idle she snuffles at the dirt
Mooshu
Princess Dragon’s Pet haha
Lunch.
Groink.
Snorter.
Rooter.
Boartastic.

Golden
Simple, matches her color and goes well with Dragon.
yea i would have 2 say weekoldpork if thats short enough dont ask me why i found this fourm boring
Leia
No two ways about it… Leia. or retry princess.. maybe you unintentionally left in a space or something.
i have the exact same boar and i named it Battlebacon
I have three pets myself:
Boar: Pearl
Raptor: Clam
Scorpid: Shelly
Hey, it made me laugh
Hogmuffin.
I named my Agamar Danzig, I think it means dancer but it sounds Ironically butch due to being germanic in origin
Move Zig, move Zig, move Zig, move Zig, you know what you doing, name your pig Zig.
ovbiously u need to name the thing Dragon same as your name exactly, that will totally kill any /tar in a pvp enviroment
I name all my pets ‘ImWithStupid.’ It makes me laugh whenever I look at it.
I tried to name my pig Napoleon but that name was invalid. :(
Scrapple! I’m from Philly area and scrapple is delish :)
I love a lot of these names, and I may just steal Boaregard form my own pet. Mine is presently named BoarGeorge, which was funny at first, but now I’m getting tired of it.
For your female boar, here are some ideas:
Sooweetie (derived from the hog call and the word sweetie)
Suis (the french word for pig)
Porcina (derived from porcine, the adjective for piglike or of a pig)
Petunia (Porky Pig’s female counterpart)
