I'd affectionately named my Chocobo "Launcelir" as a play on the name of a knight in a story that Reima enjoys.  I wanted the name to have a San d'Orian feel for the sake of my FFXI nostalgia.

So me and Nailah's chocobo is a good example of how, when you have English as your second language, you're not always so savvy on the slang. The option to name your chocobo was unknown to me until the prompt was in my face, so I never took very long to think about it. I'm not so good with names. I asked myself, how does a bird attack (Because a chocobo is pretty much a bird) and came to the conclusion that they peck with their beaks. So I decided that the glorious name should be... Pecker. 
With great pride I announced this to my BF, after having hit confirm, and he burst into laughter.
And then revealed to me what that word also means. 
I decided not to rename Pecker when it came to it, and fortunately I haven't had any complaints about it either. Just a whole lot of giggles when the following text rolls into the game: Pecker has joined the party. 
Needless to say, Pecker is entirely OOC. 


I named my racing chocobo Evil Spark, perhaps it is because of the likes of me that they do not allow you unrestricted access to names. :3 

My alt Thala'to's chocobo is called Mittens, because there was a pair of mittens in my vicinity at the time (Namely in his inventory). That chocobo is IC. I haven't gotten him a racing one yet Smile

Well... Eleni has a female Snow White chocobo named Mimi. Where did I get it from? I have a whitefaced lutino female cockatiel Mimi, and for some reason, I always associate to cockatiels as the closest thing to real life chocobos. I mean, come on! They look so alike! Surprise

No racing chocobo yet, still have to download the latest patch. xD

The fact that you can NAME your Chocobo definitely seems to catch a lot of people off-guard. Gogon's Chocobo actually had the unoriginal name "Vanilla" until I gave Gogon his proper Lalafell name and decided she needed a more fitting one as well. Blush

I'm actually rather glad it's so easy to change your bird's name, compared to things like the original number of GC seals required for resetting your class stat spread (they nerfed it GREATLY a couple patches ago) or obtaining that food item that resets the chocobo's ability tree choices.

Yeah I can imagine xD I have decided not to rename the poor thing because it's been so long now - more than a year - and it just seems a part of the deal now, if you understand what I mean. That and I can't really think of another name xD 

I think the best combo of names I've ever seen is a player called Suddenly Spiders and then their chocobo was called Spiders Big Grin

Ilwe had a Chocobo named Anduril.. Because it's the name I pick for every single mount I use in every single game since.. Dunno.. Almost 10 years ?
But Anduril got killed during one plot and so I renamed my chocobo Diavhal. Beside the fact I do like Diaval in Maleficent movie, I love how it sounds and I added a h because I liked the "form" of the name more with it (without h it looked uncomplete to me).

RE: What did you name your chocobo(s)? - Dogberry - 02-24-2015

I'm thinking, if it's possible, I want to name my racing chocobo "Mistake Not", which will be short for "Mistake Not My Current State of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas of Ire That Are Themselves The Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath."

My chocobo doubles as a ship from The Culture.

Chonoco ...Yeah I'm not so original... However, I utilize the whole -o or -a thing to indicate masculinity or femininity.

So, if it's Chonoco, it's me naming a male... If it was Chonoca or Chonaca, assume that it is female from me X3

Quote:Regular Chocobo:

K'nahli -
Suna (Pronounced: "Sue-Na" with a soft sound)

Andre -
Blaze

Alex -
Cimmerian

Lulani -
Ni Ni  (Last two letters of first and last name so that it pairs with Nonopi Nopi's - Pi Pi & Ni Ni)



Being that I wanted to accompany Clover's character on my hyur, I didn't get to first experience Gold Saucer with my main, so Andre is the only one with a racing chocobo so far. I will likely get one for K'nahli but I might not end up levelling it since Andre's is already rank 16 last time I checked.


Quote:Racing Chocobo:


K'nahli -
To be decided

Andre -
Brave Biscuit
