Aha The Ghost and The Darkness! I am so happy to see I am not the only one to have seen that movie. As for a name for your striking cat, if I had tamed him, I would go with Chernobog (Slavic “Dark god”). Sounds awesome. I own a frostsaber myself, named Tjilpa.

Happy trails.

Deimos? I think that means “terror.” Appropriate.

On one of my hunters, I have both Echeyakee (white lion) and Humar (black lion), and I named them ‘ghost’ and ‘darkness’ from the movie “The Ghost and The Darkness” about maneating lions in Africa. Seemed fitting.

I just tamed Humar myself last night and I’m going to borrow Tsavo for his name.

Guess that name’s double-win for ya, since it IS a name from Greek mythology. ;) He’s one of the sons of Ares and Aphrodite (which is why one of Mars’s moons is named Deimos).

He’s more obscure, though, so you should be okay on the RP front. :)

Hi guys! Thank you so much for your suggestions, it was hard going through them to pick only one.

As much as I like greek mythology (The original Atayah was modeled after an Amazon of their myths) I try to avoid that in WoW (There may not be much RP on my RP server but I do try). Tsavo would be a nice in to the story of the man eaters, which not too many people know about, but its not quite what I had in mind.

Deimos ended up being my name of choice because when I imagine it as a name its a word that speaks of power.

Again thanks so much for your suggestions, I only wish I had enough pets to use them all, and thanks to Mania for posting this!

“Shabekavir”: means desert night in iranian apparently. Maybe a bit long tho.

I named my Humar, Dis, god of the underworld (Or the underworld itself). The name seems to match you and your Humar as well. =]
