Names






I suppose names are inevitably going to end up being of value on a site where all names are unique and cannot be duplicated. It's happened on nearly every pet site I've been on that had a similar mechanic. In this case, the urls don't even seem tied to the unique names, so it doesn't even really make sense for them to have to be unique in the first place, but I digress.

Basically, 'real word names' or 'real world proper names' don't hold any value to me here.

Even the pets I have now that I had adopted (currently, Armorie and Jerkie) that have names based on real words (but aren't without an s at the end) I plan on changing to something else probably more like a letter garble.

The names I have for most of my pets probably have no value to anyone else, but that's fine with me, since I'd never trade them anyway. c':

Xsaiavlairnn = one of my favorite OCs, and an active personal character of mine. Yes, their name looks like a keysmash, but it has its own meaning from the universe the character is from, where certain sounds and combinations of letters mean different things. ... They're also an eldritch entity of The Unknown, so it's not like their name is supposed to make sense anyway. c':

Severonn = another one of my OCs. The double n is on purpose for both of them, and not just something I'm sticking on because the name with a single n was taken. From the same universe as Xsaiavlairnn, the double n at the end of their names denotes the equivalent of being 'strong with magic'. A single n would mean that they are weaker, or mean something else instead, depending on the letters in front of it. So even though it might look odd, the weird double letter things are on purpose, in regards to my own nonsense.

Vaneth had this longer winded explanation that no one would probably care about, but they're basically also an OC.

TheOrb and TentacleEntity were because I had no idea what I wanted to call them. LAUGHS fdhjnkkjfndg TheOrb was for a progress completion thing, where you had to put a pet up for trade, but since I couldn't do that with my only pet at the time (Vaneth), I needed a second one. So I made TheOrb. They're now my portal pet; I can't wait until they end up no longer orb like, so their name stops making any sense.

TentacleEntity is because... I just... like tentacley things. I wanted one of the Ushundas. I didn't have any plans beyond that, thus their name was entirely because... tentacles.

And that's the explanation no one asked for.

Basically, any pet I get that I want to keep, sooner or later, will likely have any real word name peeled off of it and replaced with Something Weird. ... which probably means I'll never have anything to trade, but also means if I get any RW pets, their names will go back into the wild! o/
