Character and pet name generators are still live

For those of you who are looking, here are the links for the PANDA WoW name generator and the Pet-o-licious Namerator for hunter pet names.

I think I’m getting carpal tunnel

So the word about the Pet-o-holics Namerator is out thanks to WoW Insider and Mania’s Arcania, which spread to many many other sites. Now, I was expecting some interest in it..but not this much interest! Over 4000 views in one day AND there were over 200 name submissions waiting for me in my mail box! One person even submitted names 38 times! Does everyone have a hunter or something?

However, I wanted to say a big thanks to the hunter community for your love and support of this project. My wrists may be hurting a little from entering all those names (and I’m not even half done) but it really makes me feel good to see that I’m not the only one obsessed with pet names. Some of them are very imaginative and funny. I now have it in my head that I’m going to tame the ugliest scariest beast and name him Sparkles or SimpleSensations, just so I can giggle about it every time I log in. Keep the names rolling in and thank you all again!

An aside: One day people will remember that it’s PetOholics, not PetAholics, and that I am a female, not a male. >.>

The moment hunters have been waiting for…

You have all waited very patiently for this, I know you have. So before everyone explodes from being pent-up, I proudly give you…drum roll please…

The Pet-o-licious Namerator!

You may be wondering why only 2 names appear at a time when PANDA has 10 at once. The reason? I have discovered that I’m good at thinking of serious pet names…not so good at silly ones. As a result, the silly categories for every pet name are sorely needing to be filled. Some of them only have 2 names listed in those categories. So I turn to you, my readers, once again to help me by sending in any silly pet names you can think of. Use the form below the Namerator to send them in to me. Remember that pet names can fall under more than one category so I’ve made the form able for you to choose multiple categories if it is appropriate. Once the categories have more names, I will make it so that more names appear when you press the Generate button.

I would also like to credit Fizzwidget, one of my favourite mod authors, for giving me the inspiration behind the name. It may not be as witty or inventive as some of his, but I tried.

Please feel free to make any comments or suggestions about the Pet-o-licious Namerator on this post. I always welcome everyone’s feedback.

Update: The Pet-o-licious Namerator is now here!

The poll to decided how the pet name generator would work has now been closed. I figured 10 days was enough time for everyone to get their opinions in. Thanks to the 257 of you who voted, I have been able to determine that what people want is serious and silly categories for each pet family. So that’s how it’s gonna be! Special thanks to Mania for helping get the word out, and to WOWInsider for also posting about it. I will get working on it next week…after I celebrate Canada Day of course

Here’s the poll results for anyone who’s interested.

First the poll for the pet name generator is featured on Mania’s Arcania here.

Then it’s mentioned on WOW Insider here.

I am now watching my hits sky-rocket through the air.

Because of this, I will be letting people vote for a couple more days before I resume work on the pet name generator.

…No pressure, eh?
