My name ideas come from baby names! my decade dragons’s name is Claire, Drizzle, and Aquafina
well, my most famous pet is Leb Globber, a midnight monster, who became famous for a series of images i made showing him eating and growing during the #onewebkinzworld challenge. his name was inspired by the word slobber, but i didn’t want a name that people would read and say ew. i also have a schnauzer named Merlin Graybeard bc he’s as brilliant as Merlin and he’s, of course, got a gray beard. i have a white rabbit named Hippity Hop. i have a rockerz raccoon named Ratsy Raccoon – she’s sooo cool. and i have a cocoa lab named Coco Chanel after the famous designer and she’s a big time fashionista. and my decade dragon is called Cadie which is kinda like my real name. love to all! :D
I really like all of the names posted here. Delancy is creative and Myron is an awesome name too! Victoria is really pretty and Akina is so unique. I might name one of my new real life kittens Akina. I just love it. My favorite names are from my real life pets. One is Jester and another is Squeaks. Also have Slinky, Jazzy and Mac.
I’ve named most of my Webkinz pets after my friends, relatives, my favorite holidays, places I’ve been, my favorite colors, flowers, and characters from TV shows. When I name a Webkinz pet after a friend or family member I do it based on my friend or family member’s personality and interests. I have 145 Webkinz pets and their names all have special meanings. And by the way I wanted to say I absolutely love Podkinz and hearing from the Podkinz hosts.
My little sis likes to combine names and make up sorta funny ones. Like she has a couple of toys she named cindora… :D
@bepoodlepal, Cinderella and dora?
Before I adopted my decade dragon, I was trying to think of a really good name for it so I looked up names that mean “forever” because I thought that would be the perfect kind of name for a decade dragon! After looking through a few names I found the name Dakota which means “Forever Smiling” I think that’s the perfect name for my decade dragon because webkinz has always made me smile! ~*JaneOfAllTrades*~
Oooh I like that name! Cool! -BT
I gets name ideas from my mom sometimes she has to think about it and sometimes she’ll come off the top of her head with name. And when she’s got her thinking cap on l’m like mom can ya hurry? I like to use my pet.
I get most of my pet names from websites that are made for naming cats and dogs! They have super creative and unique names :) Also, sometimes when I get a new pet, I just instantly know it’s name! Like my Himalayan Cat, Laya or my White Tiger, Romeo. As for my favorite names, Mr. Snuffles (my googles :P) and Fluer (pink poodle) are my top two.
I have three favorite pet names for my webkinz pets. I have a dog named Lovely, a rockerz raccoon named Alejandro(the ultimate glam rocker), and a decade dragon named Dauntless.
I mostly name my pets by what they look like or by what pet type they are. For example: My Fennec Fox is named Fenneca, my Midnight monster is named Oogly, and my Sassy Skunk is named Kiera just because she looks like one. Very rarely do I name a webkinz off of their personality, But I did name my Signature Border Terrier Newton simply because his personality is he’s smart.
