Name That Pet: Kaliska’s Raptor
Final Name: Kemuri
Today’s Name That Pet request comes to us from Kaliska, a troll hunter from the European realm of Arathor.

My name is Kaliska, I’m a Troll from the Arathor (EU) realm. Been a troll means I’m handsome, funny yet volatile and fatal. So in light of this I decided I’d find a pet to match me.
After trawling your site for hours on end and testing out a whole host of pets from Ghost Sabers to Sarkoth I stumbled across Goreclaw…. And wow is he something. I instantly ran over to Dustwallow and tamed him. I then tried to name him…. But I couldn’t. Unlike my other pet Gensou (a Ghost Saber whose name means Illusion in Japanese) I had no inspiration.
As it was your site that lead me to him I thought it only fitting that it be your site that find me a name. I’m looking for something cool, not silly. I wouldn’t mind if it suited the pet. Like how the Ghost Saber is sort of an illusion hense Gensou. So something along them lines.
Also I love the Japanese language.
Japanese sure is a popular language for pet names! But that’s good — it means we’re building up a knowldge base of great names. Or something .. *grin* At any rate, I’m sure we can think of something perfect for this raptor. So .. what do you guys think?

Kuroshi (“Black Death” in Japanese)
Ryuha (“Dragonblade” in Japanese)
Kamisori (“Razor” in Japanese)
Apato – Meaning Deceptive, as I see raptors as the Deceptive type because of their hunting patterns. Hunting in a pack and using singles to lure their prey into a trap.
Cera – Meaning Horned, Hey these raptors have a horn on their nose so why not XD
Nycho – Meaning Clawed, they do learn Claw and they have those huge clawed hook toes ^^
Rex – Meaning King, could be considered a ‘king’ but he’s not a Rex XD
Veloci – Meaning Speedy, Dash… and a Raptor what more could you want.
You could also try combining a few names from http://www.mantyweb.com/dinosaur/dinosaur_names.htm and see what you get like Velocera which could mean something like Speedy Horn *shrugs* I’m random and I fail at dinosaur names XD
I had Goreclaw. I named him BobRex
What about Onitegu its 2 words together i created its Oni(japanese for Troll) and tegu is a fierce lizard from Argentina a tropical place which is what Sen’jin home of the trolls is…see i did research and was creative!=D
Here’s a couple names I found for you…
Tatsu : Japanese for “Dragon”
Kyonshi / Jiangshi : An Asian vampire-like creature. They’re said to have razor-sharp black fingernails, which can be compared with raptor talons I suppose.
Karasu : “Crow” in Japanese. The name kinda suits the colour of your raptor’s skin – dark, like a crow’s feathers.
Kaze : “Wind” in Japanese. Not much really in common with raptors…just a cool name.
I also second Kamisori and Onitegu!
Good luck!
Kemuri and Kemutai (“Smoke” and “Smokey” in Japanese). I had once tamed this raptor on one of my hunters and noticed that his coloration is more like that of a smoke or charcoal color :-)
Nirami (“Fierce Stare” in Japanese).
Kyoumou: “Fierce” in Japanese
Togatta: “Sharp” in Japanese
Tsume: “Claw” in Japanese
Yaiba: “Blade, sword” in Japanese
“Zar’roc” was the name of Eragon’s sword in the Inheritance series. It means “misery.” It would have to be spelled “Zarroc” in WoW though.
One more…
Supaiku: “Spike” in Japanese
Supaiku sounds like a romanization to me, or an english word spoken in a Japanese accent.
@ Liet: I thought so too, but I liked the spelling and thought I’d suggest it anyway.
Name him Sake like the disgusting Japanese beer. Or Ginzu like the cheesey knife that never dulls. LOL Either way you get both Japan flavor and comedy.
My vote’s with “Kuroshi” – Black Death.
I take it Godzilla isn’t on your list. :P
Gojira – Original japanese name of Godzilla (and the name of my raptor :)
Btw, Godzilla isn’t allowed as a pet name
Keep em coming guys. So far I like Gojira and Ryuha but lets see what else you can do!
Why don’t you just leave Goreclaw as a name? I always leave their original names to pets i tame, if they have one to begin with, of course. =P
i like romanizing japanese pronunciation of english words for name. Like i have a rogue named Naifu (knife).
So you could do Kuraa (claw) or Baito (bite)
Kiru- to cut or slice with a knife.
Chigatana- bloodied sword
Akaishi- red death
Well, a personal favorite name of mine is Satsukoi, meaning Murderous Intent in japanese, and it just sounds plain cool =D
hi Kaliska i would like to say taht youre on my realm ^_^ but i’m allicane :P mabey we shall meet ina bg :P? so if u see a person named Sapphires wave to them ^_^ hehe
anywyas makes umi or somthing like i think it means little hill or wave or dip or soemthing ^_^ it sounds cute tho that or purple, purple is a dead cool name ^^
Umi means sea in japanese, but I vote for Kyoumyou.
“Tsaagan” means raptor in chinese if not japanese
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsaagan
The species name, Tsaagan mangas, is derived from the Mongolian word for “white monster”
thats on the page but it was worth highlighting
Kuneechewa Lol i dont even spell it right
Bipass the name restriction: Gawdzilla
This was the exact ‘Name That Pet’ that I had done a while back, actually. ‘Kuroshi’ was the winning name for me. There were a few other good suggestions in there as well for this gorgeous obsidian raptor.
I have goreclaw on my hunter, i named him Belzac i dunno just seem to fit.
I too, looked for months for a name for my lion. I wanted Guardian, but I couldn’t use it and so chose Gaidin which, in the Wheel of Time books, means brother to battles. If you want to find something to name your pet, try thinking of a word you like the meaning of and find it in a language you like, ie, Japanese. Or perahps something else will sound cool. I don’t know Japanese and I’m sorry I can’t help, but I figured I’d give you something. :) Good luck. And my current favorite, btw, is Ginzu. :)
I had Goreclaw once, and named him Akashi, with no particular meaning or reason :P
Kuroshi, the first suggestion from Niabi, had me from the start!
Good luck naming! ^_^
Well after much consideration I settled on Kemuri, a suggestion from Niabi.
Thanks too all who helped. Happy hunting.
Woohoo! I am honored that you chose one of my suggestions Kaliska. Thank you.
For fun, this is how your pet’s name would look in Kanji: 煙
i had goreclaw for about 30 lvls, i had him named WalterMeego after the band. Then i got a Devilsaur named RonJeremy. I just tamed a Daggermaw Blackhide and i dont know what to name him…
peachykeen
Im glad i found this site I am going to use Kamisorikaze (razor wind) for my raptor’s name.
