To make sure your pet really is well named, make sure it follows these simple rules. I have made this upon seeing people say their quell named Hawt_x_Buttr is a great name, or their Spiero named digm0nz is well named. So, to see if your pet is well named, read ahead.
Also, if anyone likes this and wants to copy and paste it into their blog, you definately have my permission as long as you leave this part in to say it was written by Sobolan, the giant Turnip Queen.
I hope this is helpful.
All my advice is details- it can be summed up by what a wise player once said:

**********************************************
Capitalization
First, if you say your pet is well named, it had better be Capitalized. I don't care how nice the name is, if it isn't capitalized, it's not a proper noun. That's third grade english guys. (Maybe even second or first grade.) Proper nouns are names of people or places. New York is a proper noun, city is not. Even regular nouns can become names if you capitalize them. Like stone is a thing you find on the ground, but Stone is a common first name. And last name. That capital letter makes all the difference. Your name begins with a capital letter, why shouldn't your pet's name? One last thing- the first letter, absolutely should be capitalized. But not the whole name. Stone- Good. stone-Not good. STONE-also, not good. and st0n3- is even worse.
Symbols and Numbers
They are a no-no. I don't care if you think it's cool, or it's l33t. I don't care if your favorite online anime character is named B0n3zorz. If there is a number in the name, it is not a nicely named pet. Period. Same with symbols. Including the under_score. I know you can't have spaces in the name. But that's okay, pet names should really be one word anyway. Oh, and random letters or symbols on the outside of a name? b_Johnnie_b or XCutieX? Bad. Not good. Really bad.
One Word
This is not necessarily iron clad, and some would even disagree. But I'd say that 95% of names with 2 words in it Bobby_Joe or PeggySue or SpringBreak are not to be considered well named. In those examples, Bobby_Joe already loses out because it has a symbol in it, an underscore. The other two are capitalized, and have no symbols or numbers. They're not terrible, but generally are frowned on. Most players
