My Girlfriend is a hunter and has had her bat (From Uldaman) since Around Lv 38 and do you know what she called it.... Batty... so from Lv 38 all the way to 70 (and beyond) she has had a pet that is pretty much what you see is what you get... and it has caught on, I have seen so many Batty and so many wolfy etc on the server it's unreal.

I have that exact same pig in the picture on my Tauren hunter.

I named him Bacon. That way, if he ever gets unruly and starts to have thoughts of rebellion, he remembers his place.

My gorilla's name is FuriousGeorg.

I named my ravager Orkin, and my panther SAF (strategic attack feline).

I'm surprised I've never seen any pigs named Porky or Petunia, or even Wilbur.

I was just going through this yesterday. I decided to tame a raptor who I then trained up to level 70. I kept trying to come up with a name for the thing... But was failing. Finally, I did what I've done with many, many of my previous pets, as well as my other two current pets. I went to mythology.

Now, unlike my cat and scorpid, there is no god or goddess that has anything to do with a raptor. So I expanded outwards, and none of the dragon or lizard ones seemed to fit. It almost got named after a figure out of Japanese mythology who could turn into a dragon, but I decided that would be a name better saved for a dragonhawk.

Finally, I just let myself wander through Wikipedia and a couple websites on mythology... And then I found the name. Alecto. One of the Greek Erinyes, or Furies. It was sufficiently original enough that I doubt I'm going to run into too many characters with names similar, it stands out, and has some deeper meaning if you actually want to know what the name is about.

Alecto has joined my cat, Artemis, and my scorpid, Serket (Who is actually named after an ancient Egyptian goddess.) and followed in the traditions of several long-gone pets like Fenris the wolf and Aegis the bear.

So is it reportable if you name your gorilla "Porch"?

My hunter's pets are Omichli, which is greek for Mist, since he is the white lion who's Tauren name means white mist from the quest. And a wolf Cadfael, which is actually a joke carried over from a text based game. My friend plays a character who has a dog named Cadfael who he takes hunting with him. So, my hunter named my wolf Cadfael, so when I play with my friend (who plays a paladin with the same name as his character in the other game) he gets to 'hunt' with Cadfael in WoW too.
