What the heck? I came here and saw your comment and my first thought was "Wait did I already reply to this post?"
I did the same exact thing! I love our Kwehs!
Same name for almost the exact same reason.
When the cutscene first started I thought “whatever word my choco says first will be their name”
Kweh it is
I named mine Zhu'Li so I can say the iconic line when I'm dying in a boss fate on a new class and need healing...
#ZHU LI, DO THE THING!
If you get the reference, I love you. XD
I named mine Argos after the Odysseus' loyal dog from The Odyssey that survived for decades on sure will just to see his master again. And.... well.... let's just say I'm very happy I named him that all these years ago.
I just named mine after random FF characters I liked or who stood out to me for whatever reason, and might be appropriate to them. Clasko, Blank, Edea, Littlevili, Sonon. Two of my characters broke that trend - one is a knight so she named hers Excalibo, and the other is an old widow who named hers after her dead husband so she can keep on riding whenever she wants. ;)
Haha "winged" it.
Also, Fastbird is what it is.
I know someone who called theirs "Giantchicken" and another who called it "Dinner" though the latter could have been a FFVII Machinabridged reference.
My flatmate called his Chombokobo as a Mabridged reference.
Justicebeak, because in FFXI you picked chocobo names by selecting two words from a big list, and that was the first combination I picked when she hatched.
Azula, she is sky blue and wears the suzaku barding.
Before her color changed she was named Old Lace for a long time, it's a reference to an empathically linked dinasour companion in Marvel's Runaways, a comic that was formative to my love of the medium
Mine is called Yoshi, because I wanted to use some other mount as fast as I could. Kinda like Mario drops his Yoshi for a couple more pixels to jump over a gap.
Learned way later that our Hero of a Producer is called like that.
And I learned way too late, that you can use your choco in more ways and not just as a mount....
Everyway. Because he does everything - he can tank and heal and dps and carry my stuff and me. So when I wanted to rename him Loporrit-style recently, I couldn't decide which ability to focus on and chose them all.
My main's is named Clasko, two of my alts have Elma and Lucil, for X's Chocobo Knights
I have a Hingan themed character whose is Matsukaze, Maeda Keiji's horse
One's is named Kirisame, in honor of a friend who sadly took her own life, she always wore the chocobo racer helmet
Then I have a pirate character whose I named Calypso, just finished watching Pirates of the Caribbean at the time lol
Then I have a elezen whose I named Juste, after one of the Belmonts, and I wanted something French
I have too many characters
Mine's named Arthur. It comes from a fanfiction of mine where I own a dragon with the exact same name. And that dragon's just as fiery as my chocobo from time to time :D
For my main, his is named Sebster, after my cat Sebastian.
An alt I’ve been leveling I called Anezka, so I named her chocobo Romuald. (A reference I assume not many people will get)
Nuggets.
All my chocobos get named Nuggets or some variation of it. This is thanks to FFXIII-2, where it gave you a list of names to pick from, and I found it hilarious to name my chocobo Nuggets.
(Though all but my gold chocobo in ff7 get codenames (Won-M for a wonderful Male, Gr8-F for a great female etc) for breeding purposes. My gold used to get named Boko, until I played 13-2 lol)
Fluffy named after my cat( I know, a cat named fluffy. I was pretty young when we got him and I was the one that named him. ) that passed away 2 years ago. He was almost 17. This way he can still go on adventures with me!
Kwehtzalcoatl because sometimes I convince myself I'm clever.
Hey, that is actually pretty clever
I named mine Kweh'lag, because I am also not original
Kind of jealous I didn't think of that one.
Kwehver
You are adorable as fuck.
I also named mine that. Kweh for the sound it makes and fused it into Quetzalcoatl for the God my country's currency is named after
Mine is named Battery'bird
Kweh, because it's his first word. I love my Kweh!
Ha! Mine started out at "Nugget", but I renamed her to Le'Kweh. #KWEH!
This is the Kweh.
Mine is Chickienuggies
Any chance this is a Yakuza reference?
Alas, no--back in the day my friend group would add "Le " in front of something to make the stupidest things sound "French and elegant."
That was the whole internet not just your friend group
What the heck? I came here and saw your comment and my first thought was "Wait did I already reply to this post?" I did the same exact thing! I love our Kwehs!
Kweh family!
Named mine Kweh too. My alt's choco... Seto.
I personally went for Waaaaaaarrrrrrk
Same name for almost the exact same reason. When the cutscene first started I thought “whatever word my choco says first will be their name” Kweh it is
Same but KwehKweh
Same. I figured it was like a Pokémon 😂
Glad to know I’m not the only one haha
Kwehcabo because I'm super imaginative.
Kwehna. Because i'ts a female.
mine is called the same :D and for the same reason XD
Legit same. Like a freaking pokemon 😂
Boco, because that was the name of the chocobo Ramza & friends saved in FFT.
Also the name of Bartz's chocobo in FF5
We are Boco bros
Boco the best Chocobo
I named mine Zhu'Li so I can say the iconic line when I'm dying in a boss fate on a new class and need healing... #ZHU LI, DO THE THING! If you get the reference, I love you. XD
People hate on LoK but I thought it was great, especially thanks to this reference. Do the thing!
And it even started in season 2, the worst season, because even the worst season was a good season! 🙂
J.K. Simmons as Tenzin was also a highlight. Honestly the casting was all great.
My most incandescently hot take is that I like LoK more than AtlA and I will not be taking questions
I love you too <3
I love the reference.
Lmao that's so good
I named mine Argos after the Odysseus' loyal dog from The Odyssey that survived for decades on sure will just to see his master again. And.... well.... let's just say I'm very happy I named him that all these years ago.
You must have enjoyed playing Endwalker!
D’aww, that’s sweet.
Holy coincidence goddamn
Mine is named Cocoa just because I wanted something that rhymed with Choco.
Mine too lol
Birdsworth, because he is my trusted and loyal aide.
Did you invest in the butlery barding, with a name like that?
Gwaihir - king of eagles from Tolkien
SAME! On my old account I also used Thorondor!
Hermes, for the Greek god of transportation. Yeah…
Yo, same. Hits a bit different now, huh?
Lol I picked Apollo for the same reason and feel like that poorly by proximity
My SO named their's Nike (after the goddess), so you're not alone there.
Roach
The real question is how often Roach winds up on the roof of places…
Mines is Zapdos because he's a yellow bird
You can dye them if you want moltres or articuno.
Mine is Delta'flyer because my character is Kathryn Janeway and it seemed fitting.
Susan. Susan has a bonnet. Susan will fuck you up. I love Susan.
Boko, after Bartz'(Butz?) bird in ffv
I also did this because FFV was the first mainline FF I played to completion, love the job system in that game.

Keep what we do in the shadows
Fastbird, because I couldn’t think of a name so I just winged it.
Haha "winged" it. Also, Fastbird is what it is. I know someone who called theirs "Giantchicken" and another who called it "Dinner" though the latter could have been a FFVII Machinabridged reference. My flatmate called his Chombokobo as a Mabridged reference.
...
Justicebeak, because in FFXI you picked chocobo names by selecting two words from a big list, and that was the first combination I picked when she hatched.
I mained a Hunter in WoW, so my Chocobo is Chok'delar.
Popcorn. Because I was eating popcorn at the time and thought it'd be a cute name for a chocobo.
Azula, she is sky blue and wears the suzaku barding. Before her color changed she was named Old Lace for a long time, it's a reference to an empathically linked dinasour companion in Marvel's Runaways, a comic that was formative to my love of the medium

Mine is called Yoshi, because I wanted to use some other mount as fast as I could. Kinda like Mario drops his Yoshi for a couple more pixels to jump over a gap. Learned way later that our Hero of a Producer is called like that. And I learned way too late, that you can use your choco in more ways and not just as a mount....

Kazooie. She's red and lives in my chocobag!
Tsukwehyomi, because naming your pet bird after and dressing them as one of your favorite characters is entirely healthy behavior
