Is in the same vein as the username question, what does your Neopets' names mean? How did you pick it? Jakerth- Pernese dragon name I made up Masurao5- Japanese for warrior, 5 because Masurao was taken Seeker_of_Song- Just kind of made it up because I love the word Seeker and I'm a band dork Dankin9- Japanese for friend, 9 because Dankin was taken Koudai_Okami- If I remember right it means Great Wolf in Japanese Din_Coire- Elvish (Tolkien's Elvish, forgot whether it is Sindarin or Quenya ^^; for Silent Awakening Hanya_Aete- Japanese for Midnight Dare

Alizabella - I knew a girl in school called Elizabella and I fell in love with the name. Unfortunately the name was taken but I decided to start it with an a instead. I was sure the name would be taken but it wasn't.
Candy_SugarSweet - Gross name. I decided to have a Baby Peophin so I thought up the most sickly yet cute name I could think of. I liked it at first but now I hate it. And Candy is my lab rat and at one time he was a male Mutant Jetsam with the name Candy_SugarSweet...
Eylora - I love the name Elora but since Elora is the name of a character in Spyro the Dragon I knew it would be taken. So I decided to add a y to it to see how it looked and I just fell in love with it.
Jenniola - I saw a name in the storytelling contest which I fell in love with so I decided to base the name on it. I actually meant to call her Jennoila but I mispelled it and it turned out I liked Jenniola better.

Half of my pets are only named through what I like the sound of, but: Hoshiki_Dust: Litarally translated, Hoshiki means 'Star Tree', but I use it as 'Tree star' (it sounds cooler) with dust added on the end. Tree Star Dust. Draven_Park: Named after Draven Bennington, Chester Benningtons son (he's the lead singer of Linkin Park, my uber favy band) Tako: Named after Takoto, my cartoon character. Dont know what it means. Harmony: Named after my cartoon character. Its a technical term for music that isnt the tune (Im not very discriptive today) Pebbles: My best friends old nickname. Star: It sounds cool

Well... for Wolf and Krawk, I pretty much just added "stone" to the front and "3x" to the back to make stonewolf3x and stonekrawk3x. Wolf is obviously what a Lupe is.
My Meerca, reallyconfused, started out as a lab ray pet. I figured he was going to go through a lot of species, color and gender changes so I named him "reallyconfused". Of course, when I started my comic, I stopped zapping him.
I named my Draik missfyres because I saw her as a magical, British sort of housekeeper-- a sort of Mary Poppins meets Mrs. Doubtfire. It's appropriate because Draiks are dragons (hence the "fire") and because it is also a play on the word "misfires".

Well...pretty boring actually... Razzmatazz2002: Actually I found the name 'Razzmatazz' in a...CATS fanfic, yes, nerdy I know. Of course, Razzmatazz was taken, so I had to put 2002 at the end (Random numbers >^u.u^<) Brucy2341: Ok, I had NO part in naming poor Brucy, Brucy is actually a girl, and Brucy'll get mighty angry if you call her Brucy, call Brucy 'Feather', for all our sakes... Dagonzi: I got this name off of a 'Pet Names' sticky at Neocolours, nice name, ne? -Snugs Dagonzi- Daggy: -Growls- Step away from the Bunny, you are TOO CLOSE to the bunny, I am authorized to use force, -sprays pepper spray in Tarra's eyes-

I adopted all of my pets from the pound, so I'm really not sure why the original owners named their pets how they did.
Maybe I was adopting them to be nice, or maybe it was just a lack of creativity on my part.

My pets names are all a load of crap. I call them different things anyway.
Courogyay - Kinda made it up on the spot. I think it started as something like 'Couray' or something, but I just added in letters untill the name wasnt taken. I call him Cory.
Ferternit - I dunno... I think I modified a random name. I call him Johnny.
My other two pets were adopted.

Well... Haramis_trixi: My chistmas gelert, my personal favorite too. probably because it's very close to a dog. Well Haramis was taken, so was Trixi, so I combined them. I think it's a quite pretty petname...
Cheekje1: Uh-oh, total lack of inspiration. Cheek comes from Kacheek of course and the 'je' at the end is just the dutch thingy we use to design smaller. And I don't know where the 1 came from.
Mysterytje: A wocky, apparently I thought she was mysterious so I named her Mystery again with 'tje' also to design a smaller.
Tree2001: I had met a really nice person on Neopets and her anme was Tree something, so I wnated to name my kougra, who then became a poogle, Tree(2001) The tree part fits better with a kougra I think, but i wanted a rare pet.
Too bad we can only have 4 pets per account, 5 or 6 would be ideal...

Ferternit - I dunno... I think I modified a random name. I call him Johnny. I think thats the french word for Brothership or somethig... don't remember. Learned that from History... 1992_ - Bleh, the year I was born in... Cyanbunnyer - I just wanted a Cybunny O.o Karemeko - A name after my best friend. She always used the account KareNeko. She helped me alot, so I made Karemeko. Senny_Songs - Senny rhymes with Lenny, and most birds sing ,so I added Songs. Boring, ne?

Starseek- just something cool I came up with... kinda fitting for a Lupe, I suppose. Nibbles_the_Cow: Again, just a random name, it sounded cute. Nibbles was taken, and I couldn't bear the thought of adding numbers to her name, so I just added _the_Cow. Jhonen_C: Named after Jhonen C Vasquez, the creative mind behind Invader ZIM and JtHM. He's hawt too. xD GenkiGenki_Neko: Named her during my Japanese phase... her name means something along the lines of "Happy-go-lucky cat" or "Super Happy Cat". It's kind of ironic, considering what an embittered sourpuss she is. xD But actually, when I first made her, I was thinking she'd be a sweet cutesy Aisha... oh how I was wrong... xD DarkVoltaire: named after French enlightenment philosopher Voltaire... added the Dark because it sounded cool :B thetuskanraider: named after Tuskan Raiders from Star Wars, because they rock. (I can do a good impression of one ) Fawn_of_the_Night: Haven't developed her personality, but it just sounded like a cool name. SweetieAngelRainbows: I created her as a joke... I was sick of stupid pet names like "Sugahbabylove3000" or whatever, and so I created this Skeith, one of the least cute pets, and gave her such a girly cutesy name. xD Actually, I've grown quite attached to Angel. Nailbunny_thm: Short for Nailbunny the Homicidal Maniac, a combination of two characters from a Jhonen V comic. She's actually less psycho than her name would suggest. Lykokantzaroi: the greek word for werewolf Joss_Vampire: I plan on making him a Halloween gelert, hence the vampire... the Joss part is an homage to Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Indara_wocky: a character from an upcoming NT story I'm writing. Indara was taken, so I added _wocky to it. General_ripclaw: another character from said story. suikoden6775: I didn't name him... I got him from my friend ^^;; Sprinkled_with_Doom: It sounded cute. Kharnige: an alternate spelling of carnage. diabloofdestruction: Diablo means devil. My acara's very chaotic evil, so that name kinda fits. ^^;;

I made all of mine up...
Foxnix: Badeeks/Kacheeks look like foxes so I took the word "fox" and added "nix" to it XD
Kamix: I lke words starting with "k" and ending wit "x" so I just made this up...kinda sounds like Kamek though O.o
Wulfire: Kindof sounds like "wolf" and "fire"
Sulikseven: Totally pulled this one out of nowhere...
Camiko: It's the name of my Raichu in Pokemon Blue XD
Minka_Kiki: I dunno, I just think it suited an Acara
Zafi_Tyo: Zafara - ara + i = Zafi and the Tyo is completely random
Tata_Tyo: Tatsu - su + a = Tata and the Tyo is because she is Zafi_Tyo's sibling
Marity5: I adopted him with this name
Katix: The name of one of my characters.
....and I know I'm missing some but...I can't think anymore...it hurts my brain XD

Erylian_ : Named after Erylian, my first pet whom I had lost to a scammer with a cookie grabber last Easter. I made it up.
Loraul : Such a nice name. I also made it up.
Hycla : Adopted
Kaetesea : Sounds like Katie C. which is my real name and last initial.
Elle_Chante : Means "she sings" in French
El_Canta : Means "he sings" in Spanish
Elle_Danse : Means "she dances" in French
El_Baila : Means "he dances" in Spanish
Faxil : Made it up
Fyxla : Made it up to compliment Faxil
_Uryan_ : Nayru backwards. Nayru is my favorite goddess in the Legend of Zelda series.
Buteo_J : Short for Buteo jamaicensis which is the scientific name for the red tailed hawk (and partially named after my boyfriend who is a red tail fan). Yes the pet in question is a brown Lenny.
_Cyanna : Named after a fictional character I have been working on for most of my life. This name is also my personal alias. If I had to Neopify Cyanna....she would be a mix between the white and faerie kougra if you can picture that. Even more so with the new faerie kougra makeover. But as she stands now...she's white.

Chiastovsky: Chia with a suffix at the end (Where else would a suffix be?). Need I say more?
64587465874368767: Adopted. Don't ask me.
Groucho45: I looked at the pet profile things and got the idea that techos love laughing, so I named Groucho after Groucho Marx, which is obvious enougha name, but not to obvious.
Skyhawk1010: Adopted. Once again, don't ask me.
I'm unimaginative and tired, not necessarily a good combinppotgsdeydtyfjkuoheuoh...

TennRuby- I added "Tenn" to the names of the four pets on my main account, tennmagpie, although I always leave it out when I'm talking or writing about them. As for the other half... it's a gemstone... and it's also a color... and, erm, that's it.
TennHobbes- Named after Bill Watterson's Hobbes, although he's not much like his namesake. He's always called Ace, which I got from the strectchy Ace bandage that I had on my ankle.
TennIceblue- I just thought it sounded cool. That's all.
TennLilabelle- Pronounced "leela belle." If you read it as "lila belle," then it means "bluish beauty." If you read it as "lee labelle" (which is what I intended) then it's "the beauty of the meadowlands." I didn't know about either of those when I named her. I just like the sound of "leela" (this is before I got hooked on Futurama) and I knew that "belle" meant beauty.
Anataliaza- Always called Liaz. It doesn't really mean anything.
SupremeEvilness- You'd have to be really literate to understand it, but unknown to most people, SupremeEvilness means "supreme evilness."
stonewolf4x, ALWAYS called Flex- It's a pun off of stonewolf3x. I got him in the pound. Flex is just a cool word that you can kind of get out of the "f4x" at the end. Well, kind of. (Flex got really close to being nicknamed Oche, for reasons I really don't remember.)
Agua_Estrella - Spanish for "water star." She was going to be "ocean star" but I liked the sound of Agua Estrella more.
Ta-da! **pant pant** Also, a little bonus:
Destacter- Well, OK, he's my brother's but I write about him as part of my pets' family. He came from the pound and I really have no idea what it means, if anything. My brother just decided that it sounded like a superhero's name and built the Lupe's personality off of that.
