No racing bird yet, but Shukarah's companion is named appropriately for her current lifestyle and his easily distracted nature . . . Random!
RE: What did you name your chocobo(s)? - Gegenji - 02-26-2015
So, is there any place where I can see the full list of Racing Chocobo name options outside of that moment you're actually naming it? I've tried Googling for a written list or screenshots or something, but it keeps trying to replace "racing" with "raising" and all the content is about the actual racing and breeding aspects rather than what I want.
...I just want to be able to plan ahead and have a sort of... bank of names to pull from if/when I start dealing with breeding and such (and to see if some of my name ideas are actually feasible ahead of time instead of getting there and having to fumble for a replacement name).
On the plus side, I found out the coloring of the birds comes from the breeding, it takes about 9 hours for a new racing burd to hatch after breeding, and that all the stats modified by feed don't get carried on to the chick. The latter one is probably the biggest find for me, so I know not to waste MGP on feed and the like until I have a bird I want to go all the way with.
Also, apparently the higher-ranked races have enemies in them and give pretty minor increases to the MGP reward payouts.
... but all I wanted was a list of the name options. So I can see if Lovely Chunk or something can be a name.

Saelzbroda which means "salt brother" in the Roegadyn old tongue (character is a Sea Wolf)

Kujah is Hawu's beloved white riding bird and Captain Impulse is totes my OOC racing bird, I couldn't really pick a name so I went with something silly. I love it!
RE: What did you name your chocobo(s)? - Y'lani - 02-27-2015
My racing chocobo is named Odyssée (you'll find me a lot in the Costa R-60!) and Y'lani's in-character riding chocobo is named Y'kaan, in honor of her tribal heritage.

I named my original chocobo in 1.0, Truffles which is also the name of my current GC Chocobo.. Truffles shall always live on! My racing chocobo is Crown Ivory. A bit of an FC Plug.

Mine started out as Hikari before I changed her name to Pure Melody...Which may or may not have been the closest thing I could get to Cure Melody.

I just wanted to be able to plan ahead when I was bored at work. Ah well.
Chachan got his racing bird yesterday. It is named Hardi Wark.

Anyways, Hihimi's personal chocobo (Currently Lavender Purple, hopefully soon to be Snow White) needs a new name. Any suggestions?

I named Hibito's chocobo Gysahl Biscuit.
I don't know yet for Yvelont's. I know a lot of people are RPing their racing chocobo being their companion bird, but Goliath is a destrier, not particularly speedy but quite large and sturdy. So it'll be a brand new bird bred for the races whenever I get around to doing the quest as Yves.

Oscare and his aptly named "Alpha Stallion" stallion.

I'd say that we need to organise a racing tournament on the RPC (OOC or IC!) but having to put up with 8 players in every match isn't as fun, even with "dummy racers" who just hold back while the real competitors go for it.
RE: What did you name your chocobo(s)? - Purpshuk - 02-28-2015
Sounds fun, I like it (even though I suck at racing.) On my Zalera account I named my companion Popcorn and my racer Vega Nova.

Best Bester! Even the best can be bested! NYAHAHAHAH!
RE: What did you name your chocobo(s)? - Kizari - 02-28-2015
My racing chocobo is named Groove Biscuit...because why not?
