Name That Pet: Brutesy’s Wolf

Brutesy and WolfYou know what I like about these posts? Sometimes hunters send me elaborate stories about their new pets, and sometimes they send me only the most basic of requests. But you can tell that they all love their pets.

My toon’s name is Brutesy. I tend to be more in your face style fighting. I duel wield and I love to BG. I really like my wolf, and I cant figure out a name for him. I would like a funny or mythical pet name. Please help me. =(

We’ll see what we can do, if only to fix that sad frown at the end! So what do you think, everyone? What’s the perfect name for this wolf?

    “Facelicker”.

    It’s served me and my non-ghosty wolf well for a long time. =D

    I’m not sure if anyone ha prowled this list yet, so here’s a link to a list of wolf names from various sources:

    Aargh (once called Aragh) from the Dragon and the George novels is another great wolf name.

    Woofer. *Chuckles* Fenrir is a favorite of mine as well, for a serious and mythic name.

    Bowwow, to go with the joke sounding name of Brutesy?

  6. Jesse - July 16th, 2008 @ 9:42 pm UTC

    ChuckNorris.

    As Paladiamors mentioned, Fenrir/Fenris is always a good option for a wolf.

    Hey Tesh,

    thanks for the weblink. I have Irish Wolfhounds and am always looking for names to use or modify for them.

    cheers,

    Brutesy and Rags

    I think Brutesy sounds like the kind of fellow who’d name his wolf Rags.

  11. Luna - July 17th, 2008 @ 2:23 am UTC

    Your wolf looks like a Loki to me. Loki was a trickster god in Norse mythology.

    For a funny name, I suggest Pizazz, meaning energy, vitality, or vigor. That model of wolf is always moving, unlike the dire wolf model, and makes me think of endless energy.

    @cloudmonkey: I have a cat named Rags! He’s a darling cat, very sweet and lovable.

    I may be sounding out your name wrong (I went with Brute-see), but what keeps popping into my head is Cutesy, to rhyme with your name. But that may be just too silly. :P

  13. Stephf - July 17th, 2008 @ 2:36 am UTC

    My friends suggested -
    Winterfang
    Winterpaw
    Wolfsong or
    Mistpaw
    I had no ideas so I just go along with my friends tee hee

  14. Danifae - July 17th, 2008 @ 3:46 am UTC

    I suggest Preypacer or perhaps Snaps :-)

    Rags is a fine name for a cat, Luna!

  17. Hypnotic - July 17th, 2008 @ 5:35 am UTC

    Nibbler, Scruffy, Puddles?

  18. Cryptography - July 17th, 2008 @ 6:40 am UTC

    Bounder!

    I have a lvl 15 dwarven hunter on Suramar and named his wolf – Wolfenstein. :o)

  20. Bobo & SgtPork - July 17th, 2008 @ 8:06 am UTC

    Brutesy and Cutesy!

    Mythology wise there is the obvious Fenrir(or Fenris) and Freki/Geri, Sköll/Hati. And this is just from Norse mythology. lol

    Fenrir(Fenris) is a gigantic and fearsome wolf. Son of Loki and his Giantess lover.

    Sköll and Hati are the sons of Fenrir. Sköll chases Sol (the sun) through the sky each day, attempting to eat him. And Hati chases Máni (the moon).

    Freki and Geri are Odin’s pet wolves whom he feeds all of his meat to, because Odin survives on nothing but whine.

    I always try to keep pet names as short as simple as possible. But still with a bit of uniqueness to it. I tamed a wolf my self at level 10 and still use him as my main pet to this day. I named him Agro. It’s gotten to the point where I call him “Agro” instead of just “my pet”. Also have a lynx named Sable.

  24. saphia - July 17th, 2008 @ 12:29 pm UTC

    You could also use the name of the wolf (Lupa) as in Lupine who suckled the babies Romulus and Remus the original founders of Rome.

  25. Wolfington - July 17th, 2008 @ 1:55 pm UTC

    Scruffy, Scrappy, cute names that people will “Awwwww” at.

  26. thekeeper - July 17th, 2008 @ 2:38 pm UTC

    how about cerberus(yes i know he is missing 2 heads)

  27. landonC - July 17th, 2008 @ 2:39 pm UTC

    rift would be a good name to me because of his long claws and furious face

  28. Tesh - July 17th, 2008 @ 6:42 pm UTC

    I’m not immune to typos, and this one made me laugh a lot. (In a great way, no offense intended.)
    “Odin survives on nothing but whine.”
    As the supreme Allfather of the Norse pantheon, I’m sure he hears a lot of whining… but to survive on that? No wonder the guy toys with the lives of his subordinates; he *needs* them in turmoil, if he’s feeding on the whining. ;)

    Fran, I’m glad that list helped. Irish wolfhounds are beautiful beasties. :D

  29. Kanaan - July 17th, 2008 @ 11:41 pm UTC

    I have to second Preypacer…. that is also the name I’ve given my faithful wolf friend I’ve had since I was young belf exploring in ashenvale. =)

  30. Wain - July 18th, 2008 @ 12:18 am UTC

    Personally, I’d steer away from mythological wolf references because I think they’re a bit overdone. Much like the number of tigers named Hobbes.

    If you like amusing names, I did like the rhyming name idea mentioned before, like Cutesy (or Bootsy, Tootsy? ;) ) But if that’s too cute for you, you could go with something alliterative to match your name, like Brutus, or something that matches by the ending “-sy” (but admittedly I can’t think of anything good right now…)

    Zahabu (means golden one) or Arjun(the white one in hindu) or Howlite(it’s the name of a precious stone used to encourage emotional expression)

  34. Niabi - July 20th, 2008 @ 12:02 am UTC

  35. jua0z - August 10th, 2008 @ 1:30 pm UTC

    judging by the look of the wolf, i would name it Ruffles

  36. Denmother - August 25th, 2008 @ 8:27 pm UTC

    RapidFire is the only name I can think of.
