This is where you come in, my fellow Petoholics. I need your name ideas for all these new and wonderful pets that Blizzard has given us. I need at least 10 for each family before I can add them to the Namerator. So please do flood my inbox with your suggestions!

So what are you waiting for? Get on over there! To make a suggestion, just use the handy suggestion form on the Namerator page.
