I take forever to name things. I even name my houseplants, but I wait until I can come up with the right one so sometimes it takes a while. I thought I'd post a list of names I've come up with for anybody to use or add to. Some are even names I'm using right now. I don't mind somebody else using them but I'll mark them with an * in case you do. I'm editing this periodically to add in new ones.

I also like using names that come in pairs so I can give them to paired animals like siblings or mates. I have some dogs in Minecraft named Pride and Prejudice.

  • Abbott & Costello
  • Arrival & Transformation (composition by Max Richter)
  • Blue & October
  • Bonnie & Clyde
  • Cease & Desist
  • Drifter & Shapeshifter (in song Wolf by First Aid Kit)
  • Grave & Grim
  • Lockne & Malingen (two meteorite craters in Sweden, and/or Death Stranding reference)
  • Phobos & Deimos (the moons of Mars)
  • Pride & Prejudice
  • Thing 1 & Thing 2
  • Turner & Hooch

Fun fact: my mom had a dog named Frog when she was a kid.

Those are helpful.  I'm sticking with Native American/ indigenous people related names due to the theme of my pack.  If I can't find one, I'll look for a name that looks like it would fit with the culture even if it isn't specifically related to any tribe that I know of.

This is a great list! I like a lot of the names there :) I don't have any specific ones to add, but I will share some methods I have used on other games!

angelfire.com - "elven" style name generator, allows you to mix different prefixes and suffixes to create names, works well if you want your whole pack to have a similar vibe to their names, and has enough options to let you come up with a wide variety of names, plus they have meanings! You can roll dice or just go down the list yourself to put names together.

  • Example: "Malwyn" [war music], "Arilan" [silver son], "Felyntyrr" [pale dagger]

Obscure words - Lists of obscure words can have a lot of interesting name options - just look up any list of obscure words and find some that sound good to you. Works well for inspiration if you can't think of anything

  • Example: "Nimiety", "Kyrielle", and "Aileron"

Keysmash - Open up a blank document and go wild on your keyboard, then go through and find combinations which are vaguely pronounceable..... 

  • Example: rbgaerjyanpieuto;evnbfblfgbnja;ebfmefjksvn zdnvd,skvkhvbalrbhvaeveaitoaufia;vnbitqnaflreagkjvn = "Gaer", "Pieuto", "Veaito", and "Aufia"

I take naming seriously too. Sometimes it takes me ages to name a thing. As for wolfs and other forest themed stuff I go for welsh names. It sounds mysterious for me. 

Usually I take all word if it sounds good for me or changing some letters. For example: 

- Coedwin - from word 'coedwig' which means 'forest'. 

- Tylluan - means 'owl' 

- Doethin - means 'wise' 

It takes some time to find nice word but it is worht it. Effect sounds beautiful and magically.

This Wikipedia page listing meteorites by name may be helpful.
Also there's this list of named rocks on Mars. They're mostly goofy.

UPDATE: The Sojourner rover found two rocks in 1997 and they were named DILBERT AND DILBERT'S BOSS I CAN'T
