Name That Pet: Petlover’s Nether Ray
Final Name: Sukiyaki
Petlover, an aptly-named level 70 Blood Elf from the Turalyon realm, is looking for help naming a nether ray. She writes:
As my name suggests I love pets of all sorts and sizes (excluding spiders, yuck). After reaching level 70, I took some serious time to consider the pets I would like to use. I typically prefer solo play, but I also do instances and am starting to get into raiding. I tamed one of the Dire Ravens in Blade’s Edge for my solo pet, and later was able to acquire a bat from karazhan for raiding and group work. But the third pet has always stumped me.
After much searching, I remembered back to a time when I had briefly tamed a nether ray when I was in the 60s. He had been a fairly reliable pet dispite being a ‘caster’ type, so I decided that’s what I wanted for my third pet. After a failed attempt to tame one within Slave Pens, I flew around Zangarmarsh and finally set my sights on “Count” Ungula, the beautiful purple, black nether ray. He was easily tamed and now ‘floats’ by my side. The only trouble now is to find the perfect name for him.
Ever since level 10, all of my pets have had a ‘food and/or drink’ theme to their names. It started with my first pet, and has stuck with me ever since. My raven is ChicknPotPie, and my bat is Bacardii. I would like for my new ray to share a similar theme. Othewise, I like names with meanings behind them…especially Japanese names. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Mmm … ChicknPotPie and Bacardii …. Shoot, now I’m hungry!

I must second Rayvioli, hilarious.
I third Rayvioli.

Despite it’s a caster pet … that’s really a big disadvantage (compared to the stats of a “non-caster” pet). Until you tame the only non-Caster one in the slave pens, it make no sense to take a nether ray (it’s just a cosmetic pet otherwise).
stop the food names O_O name it something cool
Nether rays have always reminded me of flying lamprey eels, so how about:
- Unagi (freshwater eels, Japanese name)
- Anago (saltwater eels, Japanese name)
- Unadon or Unajuu (food made from eels, Japanese names)
- Angulas (Basque fried eel)
How about either Sukiyaki, or Yakitori? Umi? Gohan?
(Man, now I miss Japan…)
I’m surprized no one elts thaught of this
“Grapesoda”
Cuz of all the “gassess” that make you burp could allso make one of thses buggers fly lol
howbout CountChocula?

I am (planning) to get a greenish one from Hero-Ub. Wish me luck >.< last time I went, they lives in swarms, and a swarm that I need to stop and tame? /death
Oops, sorry for double-comment, but…
Faygo
The best Grape Soda comes from Faygo..
Call me a noob but I love it.
Well I am an Invader Zim fan. So the food related name that comes to my mind is.
( Count ) Cocofang , Keep the Count or not.
I used to have a purple tallstrider named GrapeSoda, and I don’t like to repeat.
@Peter Smith…I already tried to go to Slave Pens to get one, but the group didn’t work out. Unless I get lucky in the future, I don’t care if mine is a caster. He’s not even my main pet, so what does it matter? I had a guild mate tell me he likes the caster types (refering to a wind stalker).
Thanks for all the comments and opinions. I believe I will use the name Sukiyaki. Maybe I’ll actually get a GOOD team for a heroic and get a non-caster, but I just love the purple rays. And he’s done fine helping me with dailies in Quel’Danis, so we’ll just see.
I 5th Rayvioli lol.. That’s the funniest thing I have ever heard.. and it goes along with your other pets.. Good luck :)
Sukiyaki it is. Thanks for letting us help, Petlover!
Eep! Too late! And no one suggested “Sugar” :(
i know wasabi is japaneese but i dont know what for but most pets ,depending on who owns them’ can take a name directly from greek myth!
if the owl is in your opinion female name it artemis and a boy could be apollo it seems like i wrote that for the other two
I would have suggested Raiko.
