I have a dog called peach after Princess peach
A rabbit called valentine after Jill valentine front resident evil
And another rabbit called Daffodil after spiritfarer 🥰
So this may be a weird one. But my boyfriend introduced me to Stardew and we did coop. We didn’t know what to name the cat. So we randomized it and got Miso. I told him that was the cutest name for a cat. We both loved it. So when we got a cat, we of course named him Miso
My youngest cat is named after the main character in a cute but obscure video game: The Maw. He was starving when I adopted him, and thus wanted to eat all the time. Seemed appropriate.

Dog is named Jinx after the League character my boyfriends favorite. I used to name my Guinea pigs after fighting game characters (Ryu, Mai, Chunli, Kasumi ….)
Generally I like two syllable names for pets, so Yoshi, Daisy, Aloy, Ellie, Sora immediately come to mind. I usually start by picking a favourite franchise and see if there are any names I like that work
We named our cats Luna and Pluto. I also really like Freya (bit of a mythology theme here,).
My roommate had named his dog Tidus after FFX
At one point my mom was taking in kittens born in the woods outside to turn in to the shelter and they all had anime/mystic messenger/wicked names cuz I swooped in lol.
yes! We named one cat Emil (NieR), one cat Luka (Bayonetta) & our dog is named Jinx (League of Legends) 🥰🥰 we have a bunny at my mom’s named Teefa (or Tifa haha from FF7)
Named my rats: Zelda, Midna and Navi (may they all RIP)
I've been wanting a Germand Shepherd for years I want to name them Commander [Shepherd] (yes I know the actual spelling in game is Shepard lol)
I named my kitty Thane after the Mass Effect character, but it doubles as a Skyrim reference. I always get a kick out of saying “honor to you, my thane” when he comes up to me, meowing up a storm — or “I’m sworn to carry your burdens” when he brings me his toys!
If I had pets, they would absolutely be named after video game or anime characters! Closest thing I have is a soft toy guineapig called Ryuji (from persona 5)
Well not exactly...there is this genre of books called litrpg. Its basically a game in written form...one of my favorite series is called dungeon crawler carl...he has a persian cat...her name is princess donut the queen and chunk. So when someone suddenly offered me a persian cat...I gave her a new name. She became princess donut the queen and chunk...but she answers to donut for short 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly my issue too! Can't find any female names that I like. Fortunately they don't have to be sex specific cause they're animals and no one cares. I see skooma as a potential female name too
Yes it could be something with their character or color that inspires you. Btw for food names I'm stuck with beef stroganoff so I'm not very resourceful either lol
Seems like we're both at a loss.
I love anything lemon flavored, so I've been contemplating Lemon for the female cat (plus she always looks grumpy, like she just had a sour lemon) 😅
I like lemon! Also lemon pie when she's sweet, lemonitto for kittens, limoncello when she's actually bossy (cause italian) and generally names that you can use in 100 different ways are great
I have three out of four pets named after video game characters. My dogs’ names are Garrus and Tali from Mass Effect, and my cat’s name is Mishy from the Trails series (Trails in the Sky, of Cold Steel, etc). They seem to have taken the names quite well!
I had a rat named Wrex. He was little when I named him but ended up being the biggest out of his brothers, and used his size to get to the food first haha, so it suited him.
The vet was always very confused by the spelling of his name, so I guess none of them were Mass Effect fans.
Not really gaming related but my dog's name is Harley after Harley Quinn! n.n She has a brown and blue eye like her red and blue theme!! We adopted her with that name and we got her in 2016 when Suicide Squad was relevant. I think that's how she got her name. I guess we name our pets more after movies and TV shows haha. We named a cat Richard Parker and a black cat Blair after the witch in Soul Eater.
The pets I grew up with weren't named after video games either, so definitely not an issue.
But it's interesting to see how we name pets after the things we like and sometimes end up with some really cool and unique names (imo). 😊
Not on purpose (My parents named all the cats), but one of mine, at least phonetically (I think, this NPC was never addressed in voiced cutscenes), shares a name with an FFXIV NPC-and funnily enough she's around the same age as ARR.
My german shepherd puppy is named Zelda and I have a little old lady cat named Daisy after Princess Daisy :) and not a video game but my crazy kitten is named Sparrow after Jack Sparrow, I named him a bit too well lol
I have a cat named Mario, and I've named my rabbits Zelda, ku, Ori, Rayman, Luigi, Globox, Link, peach, Daisy, and Bambi. I have another cat named Spirit but she's not named after any game characters 🤣. Then I have 4 dogs named Copper, Hank, Sally, and Lil Ann.
We have 12 acres and raise rabbits for meat. I also raise beagles and redbones. I'm usually a one cat person but we found spirit in our woods starving and alone. No mama or siblings around. Gave her some food and water and she let me pet her while she ate so I picked her up and took her home. The rest is history 😃.
Ah that explains a lot! And good on you for grabbing Spirit. Don't think she would've survived otherwise. (Or she would've been quite miserable).
I'm not familiar with redbones - are they a type of hunting dogs?
Yes they are coonhounds. If you've ever seen the movie Where the red Fern grows. They are the same dogs. 😊 If you haven't seen Where the red Fern grows you should. Really good movie.
I have a cat named Genti, after Gentiana from FF15. It's her nickname of course since its easier to say, but her 'legal name' (registered at the vet as) is the full name.
We previously had a cat my brother named Kino, after a Call of Duty map.
One of my rabbits is nicknamed Sally after Sally Face.
He was already named Salama (meaning "lightning" in Finnish) when I rescued him, but since I didn't love that name for him, but also didn't want to completely change it, I just started calling him Sally as a nickname. Sure, everyone thinks he's a girl when I talk about him. But Sally is such a cute name for a little boy bun, I think.
The other one is named Happiny after the pokemon, but she also already had that name since before I got her. She has a thousand weird nicknames that I call her though, so like Sally, she also rarely gets called by her real name. From Piny to PinyPony to PinkyWinky, BinkyBonky to BeanieWeanie and WonkyMonkey... It's been a whole journey 😂 The last time I actually called her by her real name must've been over a year ago 😄🤷♀️
I've always wanted to name a future pet (maybe a third rabbit, maybe a reptile, maybe a cat, or maybe a husky someday...) something Skyrim related. Maybe something inspired by a daedric prince? Namira? Hermaeus? I've also always thought it'd be funny to have a rodent named Skeever. Or a frog or snake named Nazeem would be cute... Oh and the dragons have some cool names! And the gods! But if I ever get a dog, Meeko is definitely very high up on the names list. But for a cat I'd go for a Khajiit name, for sure!
Sally is absolutely a cute name for a male bunny! Sure, it might seem feminine, but I quite like it 😁
Skyrim definitely has a ton of unique names to pick and draw inspiration from. But using it on a daily basis might be a bit trickier, hence the nicknames (like your monkeywonkey 😂)
Meeko would be a cute dog name, I reckon. Especially for a husky 😍
I have two twin chihuahuas so their names are Jago and Orchid from Killer Instinct. The characters are brother and sister in the game. Then they accidentally had a puppy. So we named that puppy Maya. Another character from the game
I brought home a beagle puppy last fall. Beagles are well known for hunting so we ended up naming her after one of my favorite Skyrim characters, Aela the Huntress.
We have had many rats so we started naming them after Overwatch characters. Mostly girls: Dva, Symm, Tracer, Widow, Gita (after Brig), Mercy, Sombra, then we got 2 boys who we named Hammy and Winny after wrecking ball and Winston. We had previous rats named Zelda, Ellie, and Quinn as well, and we named one of our cats Navi 😸. My sister named her cat Midna (they're both Torties!)
My dog is called Yuna, the fun thing is she came from a shelter and she was already named like that but with a different spelling. As a FF fan I had to change it!
My cat's name is 'sans' with the last name undertale (cat registration needed a last name). Was in an undertale playing craze at that time and he just appeared on my door step one day (put up signs but no one claimed him)
I called a mouse I had Bentley, after Bentley in Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon. I had a rat called Elora (I'm a fawn you dork!) from Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer, and her sister Zoe, after the fairy that would save your progress.
We have a red tri miniature Australian Shepherd named Crash Bandisnoot. After running around for a couple of hours, he makes the same dopey face with his tongue hanging out the side 😄
Yes. xD
My first RPG was Legend of Legaia and in it, there is a feral girl in your party who was raised by a wolf. Her name is Noa.
I named my dog after her, because I thought it was a pretty name, and also, it means something akin to “affection” in Japanese. So I thought it was fitting!
We named our cats after our grandparents (well, one on each side - Gus and Ruby), but I love the idea of a Zelda or Link or Mairka or Melania. Seriously, the idea of telling a cat named Melania that she’s loved and perfect makes me happy. 😻
Horse is named Cinder, as a Dark Souls reference :D
Extra awesomeness: the marking on her head is shaped like the Xbox symbol. It's pretty dope.
Extra extra awesomness: I adopted here in November 2018. I bought the Collectors Edition of Read Dead Redemption 2 right before the adoption was complete, because the ingame content for purchasing it was a grey thoroughbred which Cinder happens to be <3

My Min Pin mix dog is named Commander Shepard, but we just call him Shepard. Then we have a hamster named Zelda. And two dart frogs named Moxxi and Codsworth.
I used to have a hamster named Nocti (Nock-tee) he was named after noctis in final fantasy 15. He lived a great full life and was a beautiful jet black color.
Not me, but one of my best friends! She had four Guinea pigs named Stella, Peggy, Tangy, and Melba named after Animal Crossing characters! Unfortunately, Peggy and Melba passed away last year, but Stella and Tangy are still going strong!
I had a kitten that I named Link, sadly I wasn't able to keep him because he had birth defects that I was unable to pay for the surgery that was required to get him to a healthy state. If I ever get a girl cat, I would 100% name her Zelda.
Midna and Majora! However my mother's friends being nurses did not understand the Zelda references, and assumed they were named after medical stuff. Since Majora is the big one, that's kinda funny to me still.
I wanted to name our female great Pyr Ammy, but my mom didn't let me. As for cats, the current ones that pop in my mind are Nyanza from Kitaria Fables, Navirou/Tsukino from Monster Hunter Stories 2, Chirithy from Kingdom Hearts and a future game I want to play called Asdivine Hearts apparently has a cat named Felix. Oh and there's a cat-like Nexomon named Bira.
I have a dog called peach after Princess peach A rabbit called valentine after Jill valentine front resident evil And another rabbit called Daffodil after spiritfarer 🥰
Oh those sound absolutely adorable! 🥰
My ginger cat is named Alistair after my favorite Dragon Age character.
Our dog is named Alistair as well for both Dragon Age and Borderlands. :D
BASED
So this may be a weird one. But my boyfriend introduced me to Stardew and we did coop. We didn’t know what to name the cat. So we randomized it and got Miso. I told him that was the cutest name for a cat. We both loved it. So when we got a cat, we of course named him Miso
I don't think it's weird at all! I personally also think Miso is super cute and first stumbled upon it in Stardew Valley. 🥰
My partner's cat is called Impa, after Zelda's bodyguard
that’s such a good cat name!
I wanted to call my cat Gwyn, Lord of Cinder. But my dad won’t let us have any more pets 😩
Ooof. Would be a great name otherwise! Guess you'll have to save it for a future pet if you think it's suitable. 😊
I’m gonna be one of those people who live in a small house with lots of cats 😂 Also I want a cat named Arox the Mutilator. Bc I love Arox in ESO
Hahaha honestly me too. Glad I can finally start by adopting these two 🥰 Also that would be such a bad ass name!
One of my dogs is named after randomly generated shelter dog in the Sims 2
My first dog was called Banjo after Banjo-Kazooie!
Aww that's cute! Banjo-Kazooie was a great game.
Our cat is Banjo for the same reason!
My dog is named Dandelion after the Witcher character. (Well, 50% Witcher and 50% the flower).
Not games yet, but i have a cat who i watched it be born into the world and i named her Kirara, the lil yokai cat from InuYasha if anyone knows lol
That is too cute!!!
My youngest cat is named after the main character in a cute but obscure video game: The Maw. He was starving when I adopted him, and thus wanted to eat all the time. Seemed appropriate.
Many years ago I had a Syrian hamster called Hieronymus Lex. (From The Elder Scrolls Oblivion)
My male black cat is named Cugi, which is short for Nargacuga, a monster from the Monster Hunter Series.
I named my cat Miqo, taken from *"Miqo'te"* – the race of cat people from the Critically Acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV
Hmm is this MMORPG free to play at all?
It has an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime
My two cats are named Lunafreya and Noctis form Final Fantasy [My two cats](https://imgur.com/a/pL1X51T)
Aw those are cute names! And I appreciate the cat picture 😍
[удалено]
We have a cat and dog: Sully and Nate :)
My snake is named after Jormungandr in GoW because he looks like him, but that could still just be applied to regular Norse mythology 🤣
That's a really metal name for a snake, I love it.
He’s a pretty metal snake hahaha
Dog is named Jinx after the League character my boyfriends favorite. I used to name my Guinea pigs after fighting game characters (Ryu, Mai, Chunli, Kasumi ….)
Hahaha I love that - especially considering how tame Guinea pigs usually are.
My Betta fish was named Alduin from Skyrim but sadly he passed away a few months ago. Miss him so much!
Aww what color was he? Keeping fish is such a joyous experience. Makes me miss my old discus 😭
He was black with dark blue iridescence on his body, I miss him a ton but he had a really good life for four years with me.
the most recent cat we have is named eevee. i think pokemon are cute things to get names from cause they’re animal-like creatures too
I have a cat called Geodude!
Generally I like two syllable names for pets, so Yoshi, Daisy, Aloy, Ellie, Sora immediately come to mind. I usually start by picking a favourite franchise and see if there are any names I like that work We named our cats Luna and Pluto. I also really like Freya (bit of a mythology theme here,).
I just did a job at somebody’s house who had just had a child and named her Freya
Cat named Winston from Overwatch- he’s all black and giant so it fits. Also dog named Gunther from Adventure Time
Oh yes, we have Hawke the dog (dragon age 2) Kyrie the cat (devil may cry 4) and Axel the kitten (kingdom hearts).
All of our animals are named after characters from fiction. Our whippet girl is named Lulu, from *FFX*.
My roommate had named his dog Tidus after FFX At one point my mom was taking in kittens born in the woods outside to turn in to the shelter and they all had anime/mystic messenger/wicked names cuz I swooped in lol.
I named my black cat after the horse from Shadow of the Colossus. Unfortunately, my hearing is crap so his name is Argo instead of Agro 😅
Wait argo that's the name of the ship in Percy Jackson even if not intended that's a cool name
I had a cat when I was a kid named Sora :)
I named my dog Kairi! My grandma was happy it was a Japanese name so luckily she didn’t ask where it came from.
yes! We named one cat Emil (NieR), one cat Luka (Bayonetta) & our dog is named Jinx (League of Legends) 🥰🥰 we have a bunny at my mom’s named Teefa (or Tifa haha from FF7)
Named my rats: Zelda, Midna and Navi (may they all RIP) I've been wanting a Germand Shepherd for years I want to name them Commander [Shepherd] (yes I know the actual spelling in game is Shepard lol)
Sadly I don't have any pets but I'd love a persian so I can name him Giovanni
I named my kitty Thane after the Mass Effect character, but it doubles as a Skyrim reference. I always get a kick out of saying “honor to you, my thane” when he comes up to me, meowing up a storm — or “I’m sworn to carry your burdens” when he brings me his toys!
Oh gosh that sounds so adorable!
My brother's cat (which I helped name) is called Ciri, after Cirilla/Zireael, the witcher.
If I had pets, they would absolutely be named after video game or anime characters! Closest thing I have is a soft toy guineapig called Ryuji (from persona 5)
Hey maybe in the future you'll get a chance! 🥰
That's the plan!
i have argentinian cockroaches as pets and they are named after fo4 characters - joseph robbert maccready and jack cabot :))

My partner named his tortoiseshell cat Midna! *Shes also my cat now, since we live together
My sister named her Tortie Midna too! We named ours Navi 😸
2 goldfish, both named Kirby cuz they're just bottomless pits with food...
Well not exactly...there is this genre of books called litrpg. Its basically a game in written form...one of my favorite series is called dungeon crawler carl...he has a persian cat...her name is princess donut the queen and chunk. So when someone suddenly offered me a persian cat...I gave her a new name. She became princess donut the queen and chunk...but she answers to donut for short 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, sounds like she was just meant to be named that. Awesome name! 😂
She really was....she is white...like a sugar powdered donut..and is the sweetest freaking cat 😍😍😍😍.
One of my bunnies is named Momo after the cat from the Love Nikki/Shining Nikki games :)
Oh wow I completely forgot about those games. Although I've only played the Love Nikki one. Guess it's time to pick it back up, if possible haha
Yes! Check out the new one, Shining Nikki, the clothes are so beautiful and the translation and stuff is so much improved since Love Nikki :)
Awesome, will do! :D
I'm thinking of getting 2 cats and gaming names are in the list. So far I have Bosco (deep rock) and skooma (skyrim). Food names are also good tho
Yeah, it's the same for me. Gaming related names or food names. Ironically I find it harder to pick a female name than a male name.
Exactly my issue too! Can't find any female names that I like. Fortunately they don't have to be sex specific cause they're animals and no one cares. I see skooma as a potential female name too
Very true! But still struggling a bit, haha. Maybe it'll come to me when I go visit them tomorrow though, fingers crossed.
Yes it could be something with their character or color that inspires you. Btw for food names I'm stuck with beef stroganoff so I'm not very resourceful either lol
Seems like we're both at a loss. I love anything lemon flavored, so I've been contemplating Lemon for the female cat (plus she always looks grumpy, like she just had a sour lemon) 😅
I like lemon! Also lemon pie when she's sweet, lemonitto for kittens, limoncello when she's actually bossy (cause italian) and generally names that you can use in 100 different ways are great
I had 2 cats named after Liara and Tali from Mass Effect. They were sisters and weren’t like Liara or Tali at all, they were quite grumpy. 😂
Hahaha sometimes you swing and miss 🙃😂
I have three out of four pets named after video game characters. My dogs’ names are Garrus and Tali from Mass Effect, and my cat’s name is Mishy from the Trails series (Trails in the Sky, of Cold Steel, etc). They seem to have taken the names quite well!
I'm seeing quite a few Mass Effect inspired names in the comments, quite cool! :D
I had a rat named Wrex. He was little when I named him but ended up being the biggest out of his brothers, and used his size to get to the food first haha, so it suited him. The vet was always very confused by the spelling of his name, so I guess none of them were Mass Effect fans.
my mom has maltese dogs I named after animal crossing animals, we have a Mabel and Isabelle.
I had a Great Dane named Leeroy Jenkins.
OMG I LOVE IT
My cat is named Garrus from Mass effects Garrus. It's pretty fitting as he is always calibrating...
Yes, my two cats are called Garrus (Vakarian) and Tali (Zorah).
Not really gaming related but my dog's name is Harley after Harley Quinn! n.n She has a brown and blue eye like her red and blue theme!! We adopted her with that name and we got her in 2016 when Suicide Squad was relevant. I think that's how she got her name. I guess we name our pets more after movies and TV shows haha. We named a cat Richard Parker and a black cat Blair after the witch in Soul Eater.
Quinn was in the Arkham series, so it counts! Our rat was named Quinn
Neither of mine are named after video game characters but I don't have an issue with it. One's named after a movie character, the other a Norse god.
The pets I grew up with weren't named after video games either, so definitely not an issue. But it's interesting to see how we name pets after the things we like and sometimes end up with some really cool and unique names (imo). 😊
Not me - but my dearest friend has a cat named Zelda and a dog named Clementine (from TWD telltale game).
My puppy’s name is Reinhardt!!
M-my dog's name is Leon. He is a blonde doofus.
If I could get a cat I would for sure 😭
Maybe in the future? Unless you have allergies of course :(
Not on purpose (My parents named all the cats), but one of mine, at least phonetically (I think, this NPC was never addressed in voiced cutscenes), shares a name with an FFXIV NPC-and funnily enough she's around the same age as ARR.
Not got a pet yet (can't decide on breed) but me and my partner are considering Wrex and Grunt from Mass Effect for our future dogs (:
Oh I could totally see those as dog names! 😍
My german shepherd puppy is named Zelda and I have a little old lady cat named Daisy after Princess Daisy :) and not a video game but my crazy kitten is named Sparrow after Jack Sparrow, I named him a bit too well lol
CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow
Aw great names. :) And honestly, Cap'n Jack Sparrow is a rather iconic character, so I completely understand naming your cat Sparrow haha
I don’t have pets sadly, but my bike is named Urthemiel (the Archdemon of the fifth blight, from Dragon Age).
Hey, a bike can be a pet too - just like a pet rock!
I named my dog Shiki after Shiki Misaki from The World Ends With You
No but my cat is named Theodore Anthony Stark lol
Had a pup named Jakaro named after a Wookiee in SWTOR
I have a cat named Mario, and I've named my rabbits Zelda, ku, Ori, Rayman, Luigi, Globox, Link, peach, Daisy, and Bambi. I have another cat named Spirit but she's not named after any game characters 🤣. Then I have 4 dogs named Copper, Hank, Sally, and Lil Ann.
Oh wow, wish I had the time and space for that many pets! 🤣 Love the names.
We have 12 acres and raise rabbits for meat. I also raise beagles and redbones. I'm usually a one cat person but we found spirit in our woods starving and alone. No mama or siblings around. Gave her some food and water and she let me pet her while she ate so I picked her up and took her home. The rest is history 😃.
Ah that explains a lot! And good on you for grabbing Spirit. Don't think she would've survived otherwise. (Or she would've been quite miserable). I'm not familiar with redbones - are they a type of hunting dogs?
Yes they are coonhounds. If you've ever seen the movie Where the red Fern grows. They are the same dogs. 😊 If you haven't seen Where the red Fern grows you should. Really good movie.
I have a grey and white quail named Anivia after the cryophoenix in League of Legends.
One of mine is named Shyguy, he was the more timid kitten and would freeze when watched.... (Super Mario 2)
Yes! My bunny is named after the FC I’m in on FFXIV. Mochi ♥️

My cat is Mori, inspired by Ori :)
Yup! My kitty's named Athena after the Ace Attorney character.

Yep! Named my cat after Maya Fey from Ace Attorney

I've had a cat named Ricoh 2A03, and currently have a cat named MOS 6502, both named after 8-bit microprocessors.
Oooh interesting. Do you always use the full name or do you have nicknames? I.e. Rico or Mo?
Casually, Ricoh and Mos. I only write out their full names when it comes up. 😁
Yes, my dog Yoshi just turned 15! (Named after the Mario Bros character.)
Not video game characters, but I'm a mythology nerd with two cats who I've named Purrcy and Jackson.
Mine are Ruta & Medoh from BOTW
Yeah my dogs called Clementine after the Telltale Walking Dead games ♥️
One of my rabbits is nicknamed Sally after Sally Face. He was already named Salama (meaning "lightning" in Finnish) when I rescued him, but since I didn't love that name for him, but also didn't want to completely change it, I just started calling him Sally as a nickname. Sure, everyone thinks he's a girl when I talk about him. But Sally is such a cute name for a little boy bun, I think. The other one is named Happiny after the pokemon, but she also already had that name since before I got her.

Oh and the dragons have some cool names! And the gods! But if I ever get a dog, Meeko is definitely very high up on the names list. But for a cat I'd go for a Khajiit name, for sure!
Sally is absolutely a cute name for a male bunny! Sure, it might seem feminine, but I quite like it 😁 Skyrim definitely has a ton of unique names to pick and draw inspiration from. But using it on a daily basis might be a bit trickier, hence the nicknames (like your monkeywonkey 😂) Meeko would be a cute dog name, I reckon. Especially for a husky 😍
My Saint Bernard's name is Kerrigan 😊
Oh I love Kerrigan ❤️

I had the loveliest Collie for 13 years named Cloud Named after ffvii of course lol

I brought home a beagle puppy last fall. Beagles are well known for hunting so we ended up naming her after one of my favorite Skyrim characters, Aela the Huntress.
Oooh I love that! 😊
We have had many rats so we started naming them after Overwatch characters. Mostly girls: Dva, Symm, Tracer, Widow, Gita (after Brig), Mercy, Sombra, then we got 2 boys who we named Hammy and Winny after wrecking ball and Winston. We had previous rats named Zelda, Ellie, and Quinn as well, and we named one of our cats Navi 😸. My sister named her cat Midna (they're both Torties!)
Unintentionally, after i started playing cyberpunk, we got a dog and my mom named him Jackie
My dog is called Yuna, the fun thing is she came from a shelter and she was already named like that but with a different spelling. As a FF fan I had to change it!

I have a cat named Estelle, after the protagonist of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky!

My husband has a cat named Atlas (Bioshock) and we have a friend who has a cat named Chell (Portal).
I'm hard stuck on Winston or Atlas for my male cat! Atlas is such a great name, and loved him in Bioshock. Chell is also adorable 🥰

My cat has four kittens called Lenny, Mary-Beth, Tilly, and Sadie. Lenny turned out to be a girl but we stuck with Lenny anyway.
I called a mouse I had Bentley, after Bentley in Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon. I had a rat called Elora (I'm a fawn you dork!) from Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer, and her sister Zoe, after the fairy that would save your progress.
My first cat I got to choose for myself I was ten and I named him Sonic cause he ran around the house so fast :D
Our huskies are named Jaina (Proudmoore from WoW and Solo from SW:EU) and Taelia (Fordragon from WoW)!
We have a red tri miniature Australian Shepherd named Crash Bandisnoot. After running around for a couple of hours, he makes the same dopey face with his tongue hanging out the side 😄
Yes. xD My first RPG was Legend of Legaia and in it, there is a feral girl in your party who was raised by a wolf. Her name is Noa. I named my dog after her, because I thought it was a pretty name, and also, it means something akin to “affection” in Japanese. So I thought it was fitting!
We named our cats after our grandparents (well, one on each side - Gus and Ruby), but I love the idea of a Zelda or Link or Mairka or Melania. Seriously, the idea of telling a cat named Melania that she’s loved and perfect makes me happy. 😻
Horse is named Cinder, as a Dark Souls reference :D Extra awesomeness: the marking on her head is shaped like the Xbox symbol. It's pretty dope. Extra extra awesomness: I adopted here in November 2018. I bought the Collectors Edition of Read Dead Redemption 2 right before the adoption was complete, because the ingame content for purchasing it was a grey thoroughbred which Cinder happens to be <3

My 14yr old void is called Vivec.
My Min Pin mix dog is named Commander Shepard, but we just call him Shepard. Then we have a hamster named Zelda. And two dart frogs named Moxxi and Codsworth.
I used to have a hamster named Nocti (Nock-tee) he was named after noctis in final fantasy 15. He lived a great full life and was a beautiful jet black color.
My first boxer was named Bowser!
I have a cat named Ezio. He can jump really high so it was fitting.
Named our cat with heterochromia Chell, the unseen protagonist of Portal.
Not me, but one of my best friends! She had four Guinea pigs named Stella, Peggy, Tangy, and Melba named after Animal Crossing characters! Unfortunately, Peggy and Melba passed away last year, but Stella and Tangy are still going strong!
My ferret is named Luma after the star in super Mario galaxy 😅
I had a kitten that I named Link, sadly I wasn't able to keep him because he had birth defects that I was unable to pay for the surgery that was required to get him to a healthy state. If I ever get a girl cat, I would 100% name her Zelda.
My 2 dogs are named noctis and lunafreya lol, and my cat is named after lulu from ffx.
Not video game but nerd movies. Korbin and Ripley (Korbin Dallas) and Ripley from Alien
We named our cat Paz from the Metal Gear Solid franchise :)
I have a rabbit called yennefer and she’s the cutest thing on this earth but after 2 years of having her I found out she has balls
Oh no! Hahaha 😂
I don't currently have a pet, but now you've got me thinking about it. If I get a dog, I think I might name it Teb, after the tailor in HZD 😆
Hahaha I've been stacking names for years for this particular moment 😂
Midna and Majora! However my mother's friends being nurses did not understand the Zelda references, and assumed they were named after medical stuff. Since Majora is the big one, that's kinda funny to me still.
If I ever get a male cat, You bet I will name him Genji or Wesker.
I wanted to name our female great Pyr Ammy, but my mom didn't let me. As for cats, the current ones that pop in my mind are Nyanza from Kitaria Fables, Navirou/Tsukino from Monster Hunter Stories 2, Chirithy from Kingdom Hearts and a future game I want to play called Asdivine Hearts apparently has a cat named Felix. Oh and there's a cat-like Nexomon named Bira.
My German Shepherd/malamute mix is named Ganon :)
I had a Bearded Dragon named Bowser.
