Finding a New Wolf and Giving it a Good Name

Those are my top three choices. The pet connoisseur will notice that none will be level 80. I'm going with classical wolf appearances and staying away from the outlandish. Or perhaps I should say "staying away from the northrendish." If you're in a pinch, you can always go grab a level 80 wolf a short two minute flight north east of Dalaran. I just feel like they're missing something that the above models have in spades. And to be honest, I'm leaning toward the last wolf model. The middle guy is nice (and a Rare I might add), but the light brown eyes of the last model feel right.

Picking a name is next on the agenda. I'm thinking something classy. For a dwarf, classy means old. My dwarvish name generator makes names that sound right for a character and not a pet. The same applies to my elvish name generators. However, I have an elvish word generator that does very well with pet names. Here are some of my top contenders with their meanings:

• Aranroth ("king" and "wolf")
• Belengwaw ("great" and "howl")
• Himrothehtelë ("cool" and "wolf" and "spring")
• Himaroth ("cool" and "great-wolf")
• Hadhodroth ("dwarves" and "wolf")
• Lossarothntur ("snow" and "great-wolf" and "master")
• Lossaroth ("snow" and "great-wolf")
• Lossrothluin ("snow" and "wolf" and "blue")

For the record, my generator is pretty old and clunky. I wrote it in the pre-dawn era around 1995. However, the "language" is inspired by Tolkien's Sindarin. I'm not a linguist, but I gained a healthy respect for the field.
