Final name: Phoenicopter
Coralei, a young Blood Elf hunter from the Icecrown (PVE) realm, is looking for help finding the perfect name for her pet tallstrider.
I have been watching this section of your website since I stumbled upon it, I love reading everyone’s ideas! Now, I realize that someone has entered their pet just like mine, but I didn’t click with any of the suggestions, maybe after my story is heard they will be able to help me.
Now, I come to you in need of help! At level 10, I decided to take my Blood elf away from the beautiful woods of Eversong, and venture to the great plains of Mulgore to tame the pink flamingo, Mazzranache. He is the most unique beast in the game, and I had to have him! Just looking at him I can see personality. Well, needless to say, I am now level 40… and I cannot think of a name good enough to suit him! (I noticed many people consider this beast a girl for being pink I suppose, but I have always considered it a male … Anyway, I guess male or female names will do.) This being my first pet, I am going to keep him forever! I have never seen a level 70 Mazzranache. I get compliments and comments/questions about him all the time! But what to name him?
My game playing time is spent mostly solo, hence why I rolled a hunter. I have yet to find an easier class to solo with. But when I do run groups, I want my pet to be apart of the team, and stand out, with a name that is FUN, perhaps easy to say/read, and full of personality! I was thinking something along the lines of a famous flamingo (either a real one somewhere, or a cartoon character), I love European names, so maybe the word Flamingo in another language? Whatever, I am not picky, I am up for ANYTHING! SO let me have it!
I’m no so sure I would tell this crowd that I was up for anything, but … Well, let’s hear those suggestions!
possibly something ironic. Old Blue, or Pheonix
hmmm if only gnomes could be hunters …. ^^
Takky (tacky)
Strawbewwy (just sounded cute)
Frommyyard
or just carry over the name Mazzranache, if you do the quest in Bloodhoof the mob itself has a pretty cool background
I don’t know why it came to mind, but:
Bubbalicious or Bubbavicious :D
Like the gum!
<3
Placido
Like Placido Flamingo on Sesame Street.
I have him on my lowbie hunter. Named him….PinkChicken :P
I have a level 67 Mazzranache, and my whole guild knows him. I could barely find a member of my guild that doesnt know who my “Snappah” is ^^
Many people also call him “Pink Floyd”
Chewgummy might also fit his colour, in my opinion
Oh gosh, this was harder than I thought! BUT I made a decision….
Final name:
Phoenicopter
YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! These suggestions are definitely going to turnover to any other pet I get… There were a few that I just LOVE, I wish I could name him more than once LOL!
Coarlei, here’s to hoping that you and Phoenicopter will be together to 70 and beyond. Tallstriders may not be the greatest endgame pets, but I still bring Peck out now and then when defending Crossroads or just to show him off in town. When he was my first pet to hit 70, he went into the battlegrounds with me and was nicknamed the Flamingo of Death.
Just to give you an idea how much he’ll grow by the time he hits 70, here’s another picture. That’s level 70 Peck on the right and a level 10 Mazzranache who’d just been tamed next to him.

Just throwing it out there, but Mazzranche is a male. If you do the one Tauren starting quest you’ll get a little bit of back story on him.
Thanks for letting us help, Coralei. :> I’ve updated the top of the post with your choice.
I know you already decided, but I like the name Turbo for a tallstrider. It works for boars, too.
Thanks Mania!!! I couldn’t have ever picked that name without you guys. tee hee hee.. Thanks again!
Great name. This bird was also my very first pet (sadly, I no longer have him). He is the one who started my whole “naming pets after food” thing. I named him/her PinkLemonade. :D
Boven – Thanks for sharing the pic of the 70th and 10th lev Mazzranches! They’re so cute when they’re tiny, especially next to the huge taurens! XD
I had Mazzranche on a low lvl hunter before. I named mine “Birdo” after the pick Dino on Mario that spit eggs. I liked the name and others commented me on it.
I happen to like some name from different mythologies.
Myan Mythology has
Camulatz – A bird that ate the heads of the first men.
Chinese Mythology
Sachamo – large bird with horse legs, commonly found in the eastern side of the United States. Controls minds, and has razor sharped talons, made for killing. Likes to feed on fish, and bears.
Buddhist mythology
Garuda – enormous predatory birds with intelligence and social organization.
Aztec Mythology
Quetzalcoatl – a god of wind, creativity, and fertility, frequently depicted as a Feathered Serpent.
Just a few thoughts. Every once and a while you run into someone in the game who gets your pet’s name (I’m not sure if that’s good or just a true geek test) but it is funny when it happens.
flossie
That is the most many name, inspiring far in the hearts of men
holy crap…
its flossie…
RUN!!!
