Name That Pet: Weshezzi’s Pink Flamingo

Final Name: Fandango

In honor of the new theme here at Mania’s Arcania, this episode of Name That Pet involves Mazzranache, the famous pink flamingo.

Weshezzi the Troll of Baelgun writes:

I recently tamed the renowned ‘Mazzranache’ of Mulgore. I find this little Tallstrider quite adorable and humorous, but for the life of me, I’ve no clue what to name her. And, thus, I turn to you and your blog. Here is a pic of me and my buddy. :D

Let the suggestions begin!

Incidentally, I am rather flooded with requests for pet naming help, so please forgive me if it takes me a bit to get back to you.

    I always appreciate tough names for the more perhaps “gentle” creatures.

    I would dub thee:
    Buster

  2. Messyah - February 5th, 2008 @ 4:06 pm EST

    I say you name it Tuscadero as in “Pinky Tuscadero” for those of you who remember her from the show Happy Days. (Even though Leather Tuscadero was hotter!)

  3. Kalalay - February 5th, 2008 @ 4:45 pm EST

    Candy, as in Cotton. Or ImWithStupid lol jk

  4. cloudmonkey - February 5th, 2008 @ 5:27 pm EST

    Several good suggestions already.

    In the tough name for a gentle creature theme, I offer:
    Butch

    And in the candy-colored them, I offer:
    Bubblegum

  5. JayCanuck - February 5th, 2008 @ 6:33 pm EST

    Well personally I’d just call him Fabulous!

    On a serious note, Candy and Bubblegum seem like great names :-D

  6. Septerian - February 5th, 2008 @ 6:40 pm EST

    How about Lotto like the pink flamingo from the Florida Lottery!

  7. Juvana - February 5th, 2008 @ 6:43 pm EST

    Floyd of course!

  8. Dai - February 5th, 2008 @ 7:14 pm EST

    Mine is named Chapstick (there’s a joke in there)

    If you want the name nerfed (likely), you could go the pecker or some variation of that. My friend has one named Bubbagum, but he let poor bubba go a long time ago. Chapstick is actually suprisingly durable, and has managed to tank regular Black Morass (we had a pally and a disc priest as healers).

    I get regular invites from another guild to Kara, and if Chapstick isn’t there it causes many a teary eye.

    That and I love the screech =P Now they just need some special ability. I’m thinking a kick or something would be appropriate.

    I vote Yardbird. 1) Reference to a great band. 2) Reference to those ugly plastic flamingos people put in their yard!

  10. Deathbang - February 5th, 2008 @ 8:11 pm EST

    Kirby!!!

  11. Kassalis - February 5th, 2008 @ 8:37 pm EST

    I nominate Bantam. She looks like a fighter.

  12. Yossir - February 5th, 2008 @ 9:37 pm EST

    Either Ranger, Outrunner, Beaks, Pinky, Polly, or Jack.

  13. Taylor 'Weshezzi' - February 5th, 2008 @ 10:23 pm EST

    Some of these names are wonderful, guys. :) Keep them comin’!

  14. Undra - February 5th, 2008 @ 11:42 pm EST

    I tend to keep the names of named mobs.

    so I vote Mazzranache!

  15. Darkbander - February 5th, 2008 @ 11:51 pm EST

    When i had one i named it MahnaMahna!

  16. gundorith - February 6th, 2008 @ 12:13 am EST

  17. Kanaan - February 6th, 2008 @ 1:10 am EST

    Hmmm…
    Pinky? PrettyInPink? ChickenOfDeath? DiabloFlamingo?

  18. Erai - February 6th, 2008 @ 3:51 am EST

    I got one myself and named it PinkLady, like the drink ;-p It seems suiting for this cute and silly looking creature ;)

  19. Ametrine - February 6th, 2008 @ 4:08 am EST

    My vote is for the one up there who said “Tuscadero”. Might be fun seeing if some of the older folks playing the game get it.

  20. nobbie - February 6th, 2008 @ 4:33 am EST

    Well .. Pink? :) At least that’s the name of my BE huntress’ Mazzranache (”Rosa” in German language).

  21. Moonlitglade - February 6th, 2008 @ 6:23 am EST

    I named mine Flaminka
    A feminized version of Flamingo.

  22. Moonlitglade - February 6th, 2008 @ 6:24 am EST

    btw, I no longer have her, so feel free to use it.

  23. Wolfington - February 6th, 2008 @ 6:47 am EST

    Maybe Mazza or Mazz. Or… Hilery. ( how the heck did I think of that?!)
    Shoot, man, now I want to get a mazzaranache on my 70 hunter.
    Cool pet!

  24. Ryno - February 6th, 2008 @ 8:00 am EST

    Well, my mom’s hunter has this pet, and hers is named Smooch. She probably won’t mind if you use that name, hehe.

  25. Ralowae - February 6th, 2008 @ 11:21 am EST

    I named mine Floyd, though I can’t claim that name as my own idea. I <3 my Humar (BlackTooth) so I don’t think I’ll level him up. Feel free to use the name if you want.

  26. Gnidleif - February 6th, 2008 @ 11:21 am EST

    I named mine Thumb, because he’s not a Pinky :D

  27. Calijnaar - February 6th, 2008 @ 12:55 pm EST

    Mine was named Magenta.

  28. Volcan - February 6th, 2008 @ 1:59 pm EST

    Chewy, because he looks like a chewing gum

  29. spleen7890 - February 6th, 2008 @ 2:10 pm EST

    I really think squawky, because of that sound they make when you tell them to attack or growl :)

  30. Emowin - February 6th, 2008 @ 4:23 pm EST

    I like sly or Glamor, or maybe Kinky sounds like pinky

  31. Sedna - February 6th, 2008 @ 5:37 pm EST

    I like a lot of the names here! You could also go for Ruby or Cici (American Flamingo’s species name is “Phoenicopterus ruber”, in the order Ciconiiformes).
    Of course, being a Baltimore native, I’m tempted to suggest “Waters” for the director John Waters and his controversial black comedy “Pink Flamingos”. But I think even describing the film in chat would be grounds for a ban…

  32. Thalestris - February 6th, 2008 @ 7:45 pm EST

    I’m thinking ‘Blush’, due to the colour, or something that makes me think of pink, like ‘Cocktail’ or ‘Rouge’. Then again, you’d get dumb whispers asking ‘Y is ur pet named rogue?!?1′ Just my two copper. :D

  33. OrigamiSlayer - February 6th, 2008 @ 8:05 pm EST

    Having Mazz as my own pet, I’d suggest the name I’m using for him:

    Floyd

  34. Taylor 'Weshezzi' - February 6th, 2008 @ 10:21 pm EST

    Top choices:

    Floyd
    Rouge
    Bubblegum
    Valentino (my own)

    Keep it up guys.

  35. Mr. Perfect - February 6th, 2008 @ 10:22 pm EST

    I’d have to name it Miami. First thing that comes to mind when thinking of flamingos is Florida.

    BTW, who drew that bird? The details are to fine to be a simple screen shot.

  36. Buxton - February 7th, 2008 @ 5:58 am EST

    My dwarf hunter has one named Wellington (cos its a wader…)

    He also wears a pink mageweave shirt to match it. He looks the campest dwarf in Ironforge.

    /bux

  37. Sandfur - February 7th, 2008 @ 5:54 pm EST

    how about bubba for a name? like bubba as in hubba bubba!

  38. Wolfington - February 7th, 2008 @ 9:32 pm EST

    Coral maybe,
    or CoralFeather if you want a tribal name

  39. Ichigo - February 8th, 2008 @ 1:41 am EST

    Mine is named Fabulous. Of course it doesn’t hurt to be the pet of a BE Hunter to make the name all the more fitting.

  40. Nosey - February 10th, 2008 @ 4:00 pm EST

    It seems everyone like Floyd, but that seems too common to me. Bubblegum seems cool, but by far the funniest is Thumb. I do everything for the comedy factor so that’d be the one I went with.

  41. Hanaemar - February 11th, 2008 @ 7:53 pm EST

    I used to have a Lost Torranche named Copernicus.
    Why? Why the hell not?
    I also recommend Ganknshank, Gnomekick, Viscera, Effluence, Nibbles, Pimpbird, Prettynpink, Menwearpink… with Tallstriders, the sky’s the limit!

  42. Bill - February 11th, 2008 @ 8:36 pm EST

    i dont name my pets

  43. POradwe - February 11th, 2008 @ 11:03 pm EST

    I named mine Salmonella. Bwa ha ha…

  44. Maree - February 12th, 2008 @ 1:20 am EST

    Soccothrates

  45. Sorrow - February 12th, 2008 @ 8:38 pm EST

    I am suggesting Gumdrop or Bubblegum :)

  46. abet - February 12th, 2008 @ 11:31 pm EST

    well…my boar is named Dog, so maybe “Cat” is suitable?

  47. mtich - February 13th, 2008 @ 1:59 am EST

    mmm how about Flamenco, or maybe Fandango….he looks splanish to me lol

  48. raventhegirl - February 13th, 2008 @ 3:06 am EST

    i think u should name it hubbabubba:P

  49. Zsadist - February 13th, 2008 @ 1:38 pm EST

    Divine

  50. Rusthoof - February 13th, 2008 @ 2:20 pm EST

    I had this pet early on. Not sure why McPhee popped into my head, but that was the name I chose. Just seemed to phit…er fit.

  51. Taylor 'Weshezzi' - February 13th, 2008 @ 4:46 pm EST

    I’m naming her tomorrow. I’ll tell you what I name ‘er. :)

  52. Laura - February 15th, 2008 @ 1:46 pm EST

    well?

  53. spleen7890 - February 15th, 2008 @ 5:14 pm EST

    ye, it’s now the 15th, please reply soon. i wanna know what you name it!

  54. Ronas - February 16th, 2008 @ 10:32 am EST

    Initially I thought “floyd” but as I can see here it’s way too common.
    As I love the Pink Floyd band I’m thinking about a related name as Barrett, Gilmour, UmmaGumma, Mason, Wright, Pulse, Waters, Syd, Eugene, Numb, Wall, DarkSide, Animal….

  55. Taylor 'Weshezzi' - February 16th, 2008 @ 11:13 pm EST

    Sorry, a bit late!

    I named her Fandago!

  56. cloudmonkey - February 19th, 2008 @ 3:29 am EST

    Fandago? Or do you mean Fandango?

  57. Me - February 21st, 2008 @ 11:14 pm EST

    I’m be retarded 4 a second and put this put here Barbie!!!

  58. Me - February 21st, 2008 @ 11:14 pm EST

    and put this here*

  59. Taylor 'Weshezzi' - February 22nd, 2008 @ 12:57 am EST

    Fandango*

  60. Choo - February 24th, 2008 @ 1:38 am EST

    When I got my own Tallstrider he humerously reminded me of a duck, thus I named him Ducky. Fickle little thing he was too.

    Sadly, Ducky is not with me anymore but I do suggest naming your hot pink Tallstrider something he/she reminds you of or name it after one of your favorite characters in a book, movie, etc.

  61. ElleAldea - February 27th, 2008 @ 12:44 pm EST

    I named mine Jellybeans :) im a female be hunter :)
