Name That Pet: Doc’s Gorilla
Final Name: DoctorZaius
Today was have an extremely handsome gorilla to name!
My avatar is Dochalliday, a hunter on the Lightbringer server and while raiding has forced my hand when it comes to one of my pets (no pet will out damage a ravager in a raid setting), I continue to enjoy exploring the many pet options that my other two stable slots afford me.
Recently I’ve wanted to examine the impact pet scaling would have on Thunderstomp perhaps making gorillas a useful leveling pet and thus set out to tame a Gorilla. I stumbled across the beautiful Uhk’loc and am now planning on using the magnificent beast to level come Wrath of the Lich King.
But first, I need a name. I don’t really RP but I take pride in my avatar, thus I would either want to use an epic sounding name (if it weren’t so cliched, Kong would fit the bill) or perhaps a humorous name (I used a bat named Chocula and a wind serpent named Puff for quite some time). Since there are no Gorilla cereal mascots I’m sadly at a loss. Hopefully you and your readers can help me out.
So let’s see what we can come up with!

We named our gorilla Thor.
After the nordic God, ye know.
Ama´er which means beautifull winter. Would fit the lovely white color.
Alagos, means storm
Bounty, you know those chocolate with coconut in :)
Felwithe, is a town in everquest 1, but the name fits with something white i think.
Ghost Dancer
Girithron, Means December
Mirage
Minuial means morrowdim’, the time near dawn
Mírdan, means jewel
Niphredil, means snowdrop :) lovely flower.
Peppermint
Steelghost
Crush / Crash (any ’sound’ that a gorilla might make)
Ook / Librarian (for the Discworld in all of us)
How about Magilla? after the Magilla Gorilla cartoons?
Hanuman - that divine entity in Hinduism :)
GODzilla?
How about Koko, after the gorilla that learned to communicate through sign language? And it’s kind of cereal-related :)
I named my Gorilla Frostbite, since Northrend is kinda chilly maybe you should name him similar?
1st part
Frost
Ice
Snow
White
Yuki (Snow in Japanese)
The sound of snowing is “Shin-shin” in Japan.
2nd part
Bite
Stomp
Smasher
Crusher
Thunderer
Snowflake, after the only albino gorilla known?
Ape
George
Librarian
Amy
1.) Poker or Pokerface
(Doc Holliday always said “Poker is an honest trade.” Doc Holiday was known for having the best poker face in the game, usually do to a combination of his illness and his affinity for mass quantities of alcohol.)
2.) Tombstone
(As in the Tombstone of the Arizona territories and the O.K. Corral.)
3.) Ringo
(After Johnny Ringo, who in the movie “Tombstone” was killed by Doc holliday while taking the place of Wyatt Erp in a showdown unbeknownst to Erp.)
Now, of those suggestions, I really prefer Tombstone. :-)
To go with Dochalliday , the only answer that is obvious is
“Whyatwerp”
a funny name for a gorilla and you have cereal themed pets, well replace cocoa with koko in s cereal name. Here are my name ideas.
KokoCrispies
KokoPuffs
MightyJoeYoung
ApeX
Prime8 (not sure if you can have numbers in pet names, i never tried it)
Chimpeon (i know, he’s a gorilla not a chimp, but still)
BoomOrang (yes, he’s a gorilla not an orang, but still)
Kongqueror
GeinghasKhan
KingusKong (sort of like Geinghas Khans name gorilla style)
FlungPu (sort of like kung fu but monkey style I guess)
oh, do we ever learn the results of the pet names?
i’de like to second ook!
FirstChAoS: Often the pet’s owner will post a comment letting us know their final choice, although sometimes they e-mail me directly. Then I add a bolded note to the very top of the post with their choice so that readers who wander in months later don’t have to search for it in the comments. For example, Snowstrider chose ‘Blackice’ for his raptor, so I added that to the top of his post.
how about punchline
I like Asthock Lonewalker’s “yuki” but without anthing added ^^ Sounds Gorrila-ie and matches his color.
As for my own names..
Misty
Oreo
Kokokrispies, if it fits.
Frost
Frostedflakes, again it may not fit.
Icebox
Ice
North or South
Winterfresh
I have the same Gorilla Gorefiend pvp server ,love him and have found his stomp so very useful his stomp makes for a great aggro getter for a group of mobs I can also multi shot without pulling a group off him. also good for when I need to heal him when he is tanking more than I target.
I named him Viagrilla
ReelGrilla kinda matches my hunter name
Zaius. You’re doc, he’s Zaius. ’nuff said.
All of my gorillas have been named George. (I also have the white one now.) Gotta watch him though. when in a party he like sniffing around in other people’s packs.
eather Wyatt or Erp but if neather of those sute your fancy I would go with Tombstone
What a coincidence, I just recently leveled my Uhk’loc to level 70 :-D, Well, I didn’t have much inspiration, but I named mine Astaroth (Huge giant from Soul Calibur, also in demonology a prince of Hell).
**Bigglesworth (Dr. Evil’s Cat in Austin Powers :-D).
**Also, as Sandos said Snowflake, his original name was Nfumu Ngi (Meaning Gorilla in Fang, a language spoken in Africa), So maybe you could try something like Nfumungi.
**Raykong, a toy in japan.
**You could also name him Kerchak or Kala, Tarzan’s parents :-p
Well, hope you find a nice name for you gorilla ;-)
I tamed Uhk’loc at 60 and he is STILL languishing behind me 54. Must start leveling him!
I named him Oddjob.
My cat is Moneypenny.
I think we have a winner. DoctorZaius it is.
Would have to say the runner up was Wyatterp, but I’ll save that for some other pet.
Chewychomp?
My friend thought of it
Just name him George.
Fossey after Dian Fossey, the famous primatologist. Or Fosse after Bob Fosse, the dancer and director.
could try Magilla or name him yeti to fit his color lol
How about BigFoot ?
