How to pick the right name

Fit the name rules first

WoW character and hunter pet names must be 2 to 12 letters with no spaces, numbers or symbols. Every name on this page already fits, so it will go straight through character creation.

Match the hunter to the pet

A hunter and pet with linked names make the joke land twice. Try a pair from the list, or name a cat Mittens and the hunter Pettiness.

Check your realm type

Roleplay realms do not allow names stitched together from several words or names based on modern references. On those realms, pick from the best hunter names; save the puns for normal realms.

Say it in voice chat

Your group will shout your name the first time you pull early. Pick one that is easy to say and fun to yell.
