Name That Pet: Alana’s Ghost Saber
Today we have a request from a stealthy Night Elf with a ghost saber — and a taste for teasing his opponents.
Alana writes:
Let me begin by saying that my background is that of a “PvP” server. I am a gamer at heart, and my interests include, but also extend beyond World of Warcraft. My favorite games tend to revolve around stealth. I love western RPG’s, especially those with strong social aspects, which is why WoW is such a perfect fit.
I plan to spend most of my time in small scale PvE / PvP (5 man / 5 man heroic / 10 man, arena / battleground / world PvP) and plenty of time spent soloing / raising trade skills / exploring the world around me.
I tend to favor Night Elves, mostly because of my preference for stealth and finesse over brute strength. I prefer to take a cautious / thoughtful approach to most encounters, and my choice of a Ghost Saber as my “vanity” pet follows suit.
As you can probably guess, Rogue / Druid / Hunter are my classes of choice. I’m the sort of player who is likely to sneak up on you when you’re most comfortable and /tickle, /sap, unstealth, /wave, /vanish – never really harming the person, but letting them know I’m around… it makes things a little more interesting for me knowing they’re at least aware of my presence… and while I don’t have access to the same bag of tricks on Alana that my rogue might, I think the combination of shadowmeld, prowl, and various traps will still allow for plenty of shennanigans.
I don’t think there is much in the way of true RP in my future, but at the same time, I tend to favor names which hold some sort of meaning. I suppose I’m looking for a clean, simple name. Nothing too silly or obnoxious, but still light-hearted… something that would fit in with my own unique brand of tomfoolery.
Clean, simple, light-hearted but not silly … and with a touch of tomfoolery. That’s a tall order, but we’ll see what we can do!

Some names that might fit:
Ghostpaw, Mistwalker, and Shadowclaw to go with the stealth / Ghostsaber theme
Dog, Fish, Manbearpig, Notacat, or Snuggles for the goofy aspect
Boreas — god of north wind, winter, like a cold wind blowing at your victims back..
Silence
Hush
Watcher — watches your victims every move…
Whisper
Winter
Gale
Breeze
I don’t know, seems like he/she should have a wind/season related name, or one about silence…
All I can think of right now!

Misty
Serenity
Espirite
Phantasma
Polt
Geist

Silkshoes
Skiffy
Sheen
…Swath?
All I can think of.
I got a Spottet snowleopard of my own and the only logic name i could come up with was :
Müsli
If you think of the cerial, and poor alot of milk over it, all you can see is black raisins floating in white milk.. Lots of black dots in alot of white0 Spottet snowleopards.
I made the explanation for my cats name on a macro and it always make ppl laugh.
Surprise
poof
vesper
Shadeaux (just a unique way of spelling shadow – from cajun country)
Aleshanee (from native american indian (coos tribe) – means “she plays all the time”
Angeni (cheyenne indian) – means “spirit”
Kachina (hopi indian) – “sacred spirit dancer”
Kenda (dakota indian) – “magic power”
Koko (blackfoot indian) – “of the night”
Mosi (navajo indian) – “cat”
Namid or Namida (Chippewa Indian) – “star dancer”
Neche (Algonquin Indian) – “friend”
Nova (Cheyenne Indian) – “chases butterflies”
Tadita (Omaha Indian) – “one who runs”
Yutu (Miwok Indian) – “out hunting”
Zonta (Sioux Indian) – “trusted”
The reason I went with native american indian is because like the night elf you favor, the indians were of the earth and believed in its powers. Hope that helps!
I have one. I named mine ‘Akhdar’! It means green. The saber has green eyes. It just seemed like a perfect fit. The ‘kh’ is pornounced with flem in the throat. Its just better to say. Akhdar!!
Oh. It means green in Arabic, btw!
As soon as I rolled a hunter I knew that I’d be getting this as one of my pets. I named mine Amaru… I remember it had a connection but for the life of me I can’t remember what it was… I think it had to do with it looking like a jaguar…
Piffle
Nova as a reference to the stealthy lead in Starcraft: Ghost. You could also do an anagram of that such as Voan or Naov.
“Geist” is about the only one I could come up with based on ghost saber XD
Sleuth
Echo
Steve
Purple
Alpha
Beta
Cheese
Ace
Blitz
Albino
Friend of mine named hers Casper, friendly ghost =) or Caspurr for something a little more cat-like. I like Hobbes, from the comic strip =), Maybe Shadewhisker I like those anyway. Have fun.
I suggest one of the three…
1.) Spooky
2.) Saran (Clear, like saran wrap.)
3.) Neglege (See through)
I named mine MistFang because it sounds like Mrs. Thang. I always thought this was the best skin for the cats.
Pounce
Ambush
Stealth
Phantom
Funny Name:
Gank
Pown
Powned
I like the name Whisper, but I also think Mischief would fit as well.
Mania ^.^
Snow
Frozen
Blizzard….
Hm….
that’s it!
I have Ghost Saber and named him – whiteout.
you can use that or ideas would be:
babypowder
gotcha
A couple that came to mind:
OnTheProwl
StalkingYou
Stalker
Neverseen
I had a snow leopard that I named Serendipity… I really loved that name hehe…
Good luck!
I named mine Nishoba; for Phantom Nishoba from Magic the Gathering. It’s a spirit cat that gives its owner as much health as it deals damage.
Ilnae, night elven for mist whisper, mist from the look, whisper because its prowl-like :D my 2 cents
Named mine Grayswandir, after googling “silver sabre”, this was from wikipedia, article “Corwin (The Chronicles of Amber)”:
Grayswandir is Corwin’s sword, also known as the Night Blade… Grayswandir has one magical property that makes it particularly useful: Corwin can call it by creating a Shadow where he wills it to exist.
Måneskygge (moonshadow in danish)
Shade
Stalker
SilentProwl
Silentclaw
gl with naming that beaut =3
Try:
1> Shimmer or ShimmerCat or ShimmerKitty
2> Opal or OpalCat or OpalKitten
3> Neutrino (the ghost particle :) )
i just named mine Ghost =\
but i think shimmer is cool
You know, there’s one name I’ve yet to see applied to a cat in WoW: Guenhwyvar. Perfect for a Ghost Saber despite me naming mine Shimmer :)
When I was little, I had a Siamese named Guenhwyvar.
How about Pixel, after Robert Heinlein’s cat who walks through walls? I think it would suit a see-through kitty nicely.
I named my cat “Wachuchu” for white devil as in the Ace Ventura movie (2nd one)…I also have a cat in RL named Wachuchu. Names are important I agree
GhostlyEcho
Ghostlyecho
Echo
Ectoplasm
(the shimmery stuff around ghosts, I think
I named My second hunter’s Ghost saber Echo after the greek myth of Echo the nymph, who was cursed to only repeat the words of the man she loved. sadly her one true love was also cursed to fall in love with his own reflection in a still pond and he never saw her. She eventually faded awy to nothing but her voice while he to faded and was turned into a flower that grew at the edge of the pond. (( severly abreviated version of the myth)
I think a good name for your pet is “Wisp” it just seems like a good name lol
I have a idea even if you don’t like the name.
How about naming that pretty kitty Marauder?
I named my ghost saber Shadowfax, from LoTR. I named my first cat, a lynx, Padfoot (Harry Potter), which is also a good, stealthy name.
Phasma – Ghost in latin
Fantasma – Ghost in Italian
Mente – Spirit in Italian
It never dawned on me until now, but Spookytooth would be a great name. It’s from a band of the same name from the 60′s. Here is their wiki.
I named my ghostsaber as Schrödinger. :) Bonus points if you get it!
hw about…
Kasha-(not sure what culture eez from…) a feline which comes down from the sky and steals corpses from funerals…
great name is you ask me
or (this one is what i’m going to use when i get another account >_<)
Yukionna-(japanese) snow women
Socom “special operations command” Its the abreviation that refers to stealthed elite special forces such as Navy SEALS.
I called mine “Smoke”
Spectre
Ephemeral
Ethereal
Diaphanous
Echo
Wisp
Mist
