Original pet (and still going) - a cat (one of the NE sabre family) Caesar. When I call him, log in, etc I select him and "Hail Caesar". I think its funny! I like the look of the cats, so this tends to be my primary choice for the moment.
Next pet was a boar from Westfall, called him Razor after the vicious wild pigs in Oz, razor-backs. Dropped him, regretably. Maybe Razor might make a comeback?
Dino is a raptor from the Wetlands. I meant to callhim Deano after Fred Fintstone's pet, but it was at the end of a long session (6.5 hrs if I recall correctly) so I got my eight year old daughter to name him. She spelt it as D-I-N-O, but quick as a wink when I pointed out her mistake she tells me that Dino is short for dinosaur. So Dino it was. Maybe the next one will be Deano.
Any birds/flyers I tame get called Pillic, a derogatory term soldiers and airmen have for pilots. (As I don't intend to keep these; yet!)
As for what is the best, it is the same for what is the best pet. Call your pet what you want, not what you think others would like. You have to live with it, they only see it every so often. Then again, do you want to may people laugh, sit up and take notice, whatever? Then just ignore me.
Happy hunting!
Oz.
