I've named all my favorite pets (and some that aren't favorites), so I have a lot of names. But I'll just name a few.

I named my Shardhorn Runt - "Ben Dover." I think people can guess why. But I got the name from one of the Fletch movies with Chevy Chase where they throw him into the jail cell. He asks the guy in the cell what his name is, and the guy answers "bend over," to which Fletch replies "Nice to meet you Ben!"

And I named my Stormwind Rat "Alliance Suks." I always have him out when I'm playing my Alliance toons. I'm not sure people know what to people think (I'd probably get reported having him out on Horde). 8-)

The one you'll see me with on my Rogue, all of the time, unless I'm in PVP, is my Disgusting Oozeling named "Dark Matter." He makes my rogue look dark and sinister. MUAHAHAHA! :twisted:

Here are some others. I know they're not all funny. And some of them you may not get the reference to unless you google them. Lon Chaney Jr comes to mind. If you understand the reference it makes perfect sense.

Anubisath Idol: "Sandman"
Ashleaf Spritling: "Sweatleaf"
Arcane Eye: "Big Brother"
Baby Ape: "Dinky Kong" (dinky as in small)
Black Ram: "Baa Ram You" (From the movie Babe)

I only named a few, but a few favourite ones I named are also among my favourite pets so I felt I had to name them:

Anubisath Idol - Nasus (Obvious, but Leage of Legends reference there for his resemblance)
Sen'jin Fetish - Aku Aku (Idol mask from Crash Bandicoot also for the obvious resemblance)
Fetish Shaman - Rakanishu (Named after the named mob from the Diablo series, another obvious one I guess)
Macabre Marionette - Raul Tejada (Fallout: New Vegas - Ghoul companion of the same name, though he doesn't dance as much lol)

I named [pet]Nuts[/pet] bully because he throws nuts at people, my Unborn Aerith, and tend to name my other pets the names of ... well, other pets in their family. So my Son of Animus is Clockwork Gnome.

I've seen some that have some kind of message like U for the first pet, Gunna for the next, and Die for the third or some such. My favorite so far as been the [pet]Frigid Frostling[/pet] that was named EverybodyFreeze.

Would have thought it more well-known than that. The pet's in-game journal description even references it; "Quoth the raven: the last word you said. It gets old." I don't know the whole poem, but I thought most people knew that line. :)

I think I might have posted this but I named my Rapana Whelk - Lawrence Whelk, after the Music Director/TV Host my parents made me watch as a kid.

Then I discovered on Warcraftpets that both my whelks are girls (the second one is Larry Whelk jr.)

So the other day when discussing pet names with a newbie pet collector - I said this of my Whelk - Lawrence Whelk was the name of my transgender whelk. That's why the whelk that is a 'girl' has a boy name.
