Name That Pet: Vongoul’s Cats

Vongoul and Humar
Vongoul and King B

Today’s somewhat belated NTP is brought to you courtesy of Vongoul, a troll hunter from Darkspear who, like many of us, has more cats than names. Vongoul writes:

Hello there! I’m a Troll Hunter Named Vongoul, and I live on the PVP server Darkspear and I just tamed 2 new lovely and awesome pets. I always liked big cats, so all my pets are cats, and since I like to have unique special ones, I tamed as my main pet a Ghost Saber. And I just tamed Humar the Pridelord and King Bangalash also because they are so cool and gorgeous, but im having trouble finding the best names for them. I hope you guys can help me!

I would like mythical and names in other languages for my pets. My play style is simple I always play to be the best and have lots of fun. =]

PS: I leave you a pic of my Ghost Saber also. I named him Ghost and I took the picture at Undercity when he was Prowling.

Vongoul and his Ghost Saber, GhostNote that Vongoul has already named his Ghost Saber, but I wanted to include it because I really like how he posed all three pictures. (Be sure to check out the large versions by clicking on the small pics!)

So our task is to find names for his new black lion and white tiger. Should be easy!

    Very nice cats, Vongoul!

    Suggestion for the Black Cat:
    Kuroioni - roughly translates to “Black Demon” in japanese.

    and for the tiger:
    Shiroioni - which roughly translates to “White Demon” in japanese.

    I thought they seemed fitting, for the pair ^_^

    Oh I love those cats Vongoul! Very nice choices indeed. Here are some suggestions for you.

    For Humar:
    Kali (The Black One in Hindu)
    Achilles
    Rajani (The Dark One in Hindu)
    Donovan (Dark in Irish)

    For The King:
    Berwyn (White head in Welsh)
    Whisper
    Eirwen (White snow in Welsh)
    Gwyn (White or fair in Welsh)
    Zurine (White in Basque)

    I myself have tamed both of these beauties on my dreanei hunter. I named Humar Leonidas (His nickname being Leo, which means Lion in Latin, so I thought it fit) And I named the King..which I turned into a girl, Persephone for fun really.

    I hope this helps!!!

    For Humar:

    For King Bangy:
    Zeus

    Obsidian or Onyx for your black lion
    and
    Raya (”stripe” in Spanish) or Streifen (”stripe” in German) for your tiger.

    “Manticore” (a mythical cat-like monster) and “Skadi” (the Norse goddess of winter and hunting).

    I’m not the only one! Yay for cat hunters!

    I have no names, because I’m really bad at that. Grats on the cool cats, though.

  7. Cryptography - July 15th, 2008 @ 6:45 am EDT

    You already have Ghost.

    Add Shadow and Fade.

    Just an edit to my previous post:
    Hi is the wrong dialect to complement Tsuki. Its Taiyou.

    I second Cryptography’s names, they really go well with your cat you’ve already named.

  13. Wolfington - July 15th, 2008 @ 12:10 pm EDT

    My troll hunter’s white tiger is “Sorrow” and I wouldn’t give her up for anything!

    Nior is “black” in French
    Schwarzer Löwe is Black Lion in German
    Leone nero is Black Lion in Italion
    Leão preto is Black Lion in Portuguese

    and for the tiger..

    Vittiger is White Tiger in Swedish.

    Or…

    Shadowmane
    Blackmane

    Shadowstripe
    Stalkingstripe
    Dapplecoat

    Good hunting!

    Hey guys! thank u very much with the pet suggestions, now im having a lot of troubles choosing a name from all those great suggestions :D

    well i like Cryptography’s Suggestions for Shadow and Fade, but i guess they can sound a lot more Original and cool if we translate the name to other languaje, don’t u guys agree??

  16. theASCHE360 - July 16th, 2008 @ 2:15 pm EDT

    oh, by the way, im Vongoul xD

  17. fatman - July 16th, 2008 @ 10:52 pm EDT

    If you haven’t named your cats yet try this:

    Yin for the white, Yang for the black. :)

  18. Cryptography - July 17th, 2008 @ 6:28 am EDT

    Hey Vongoul, glad you liked my suggestions.

    I think they should stay in English language since your existing pet is named in English.

    If you chose another language, go with one that has influenced English a lot so that the names have a familiar feel to them.

    Shadow is meant for Humar, and Fade for King-B. Perhaps “vanish” or another synonym could be used instead.

    lol, i named my ghost saber ghost also, i named my humar onyx which is a black quartz i think

  20. Allei - July 17th, 2008 @ 9:17 pm EDT

    I named Humar Arya. I tend to go after characters from books. I had Bangalesh on an old hunter and named him Kipling. Sawyer is a favorite of mine as well. I’ve also had cat pets named Killian and Guinness.

  21. cloudmonkey - July 19th, 2008 @ 5:02 am EDT

    Ebony and Ivory

  22. Corvyn - July 19th, 2008 @ 7:11 pm EDT

    I called my Humar “Onyx”. Not because of Onyxia, but because of the black stone. Here a picture:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Onyks_grudka_polerowana_Brazylia.jpg

    Onyx is also Greek for “Claw”

    I think it’s the perfect name… my black claw ;)

  23. Torgen - July 19th, 2008 @ 11:27 pm EDT

    i have the white lion and have named him Geist german for ghost.
    and i have named my cat on my pvp server Knightfall

  24. Akyo - July 24th, 2008 @ 8:38 am EDT

    Ebony and Ivory =)
