Hawn, maybe?

And yes, like Goldie Hawn.

Considering that in game birds are actually categorized as their own species of wyverns, it would make more sense than naming a flightless bird after the 'King of the Skies'

On the other hand, the Rathalos is extremely bad-ass. Maybe go with Rathian, Queen of the Land? c;

Haha, now you got me thinking of all flightless wyvern species in 'Monster Hunter.' Tongue

Then again, I could just use the name of a dragon... hm... think, think, think.

I really do hope we'll get a rainbow of Chocobos when breeding comes out. I so desperately want my black S-ranked guy and his lovely blue mate.

Their children however were disappointing.

I think everyone who ever saw that comic remembers it when "chocobo breeding" is mentioned.Â Smile

Haha, that was great! I had a good laugh! This is why we don't do chocobo inbreeding ladies and gentlemen! Laugh

Teveriel's chocobo is named Eclair, following the Elezen's "almost French" naming conventions. It also seemed a suitable name for a swift steed.

Yeah, but for arguments sake, birds aren't dragons. Fafnir, Ryujin, and Gorynych are all cool names, but it feels 'claimed' by imagery of giant scaly bastards. Chocobos are rotund and fluffy. Also, there's plenty of equally bad-ass birds out there.

Like Ninkasi, goddess of beer, who is a giant fire breathing eagle, conceived from the mythological equivalent of the big bang. There's also Aquila, the aspect of lightning in Greek mythology. Altair is the Arabic name for Aquila's constellation, and the namesake of the more infamous Assassin's Creed character with a strong tie to the imagery of eagles. Alkgnost, a bird of eastern myth that flies out of hell during thunderstorms to eat souls of those stuck out in the rain. There's the Lovecraftian Shantak, a great and terrible scaly bird that commands the skies bordering the dream realm of the gods. Oh, and the Roc/Rohk, which was probably actually a real giant fucking death bird that could carry away small cattle.

And these are just a few of the ones with cool-ish sounding names that aren't already spoken for in universe, like Garuda and Phoenix. Just for your consideration. We all know dragons are immensely awesome. The insanely OP'd birds in mythology get so much less credit!

Really was just trying to be helpful, not pushy. I utterly lose my mind and everything comes to a grinding halt when I need to think of the perfect name, so if I saved you a headache by cracking out the old dictionary of mythology, I'm glad.

Yeah. I never did get my gold chocobo though :c This was all way back before you could just google that though, so maybe I was just doing it wrong. Those darn strategy guides are never right!

Nothing wrong with Anzu!Â I just decided I was going to wait for the chance of a black chocobo for that name myself.

I'm thinking Caladria for a white chocobo, named after Caladrius of Roman mythology.

One could also spin the phoenix naming and use Feng, Huang, or Fenghuang.

Or Benu (Bennu) the Egyptian equivalent of phoenix (and possibly true origin of the more widely known phoenix).

I'm leaning towards Hayai, Yuki, Meiyo, or Kiroh as the official name for my chocobo. I think Kiroh may win as K'iroh sounds apt for a miqo'te name, but I really like Meiyo and Hayai as well.

Damn you, decisions!!!

I like Quigley!

K'nahli · **09-27-2013, 04:34 PM**

My miqo'te called hers Suna(Sue-nah) which means 'desert' in Japanese. That has no purpose or intention ICly though, I just looked through other languages for inspiration and I liked the Japanese pronunciation of it.

My Paladin hy'ur named his 'Blaze' which I think is both typical and suitable, nothing special ^^

[Image: zngj.jpg]

My Warror hy'ur named his Cimmerian(Sih-mare-ee-an) since I figured he'd name his something darker. I think I'll use parts of Odin's barding for his chocobo, hoho~

I told a friend to name it Menchi.
Those who get the reference will find it amusing.Â =3

Daishi, I don't think that would fit...would the name be Iwoij?Â Hehehe

Think I'm going with K'iiroh from Japanese Kiiro which simply means.....yellow.Â Nothing special there, but it sounds best from the choices I was thinking of.

I like Suna, though. Very fitting for a miqo'te.
