Naming Your Animals?

[Melt0s]

Are You Just Boring Or Strange, Personally, Quite recently I have been forgetting to name my animals, But when im really bored or makin a zoo for somebody (then saving and them downloading) I liek to make names up, Let your imagination go. I always seem to call a Chimpanzee "Pogo" and Tiger "Tiber" xD Anyway, I Suppose this could be a poll, but ive gone to far now. Sorry If this is in the wrong place Mod's/Staff, I looked for places too place this topic, and this "seemed" suitable.

I never name my animals. I'm too lazy. They die too fast.

[Melt0s]

Your Nice arnt you. lol. "They Die To Fast", Well they most die fats if u carry on playign the game, your choice anyway, Lazy Person! xP

[mitzibear]

I did name a few of my animals once but usually I don't. I wish the months didn't go by so fast as they do on the game its like wow really where did the time go lol.

[Melt0s]

WolfX; Thats Just So Anti-original. I like it It's liek callina dog "tigger" and yes i have seen it before :|

[Zoo]

Wow, I never name my animals................

[Leveler]

i've tryed naming animals but they always are so dumb like wierd made up one or calling a gemsbok one horn even thought their all the same

[mo15]

I usually just name then when I'm doing a small zoo or something, or when I get bored at the end of a scenario.  And I'm no good at thinking of good names, they are usually animal tv characters. (lions-simba, nala, etc.) :blush

When you start to make really large zoos its hard to keep track of, especially when the animals start to breed really quickly.  (When you have a zoo with like 30 exhibits and over 100 animals, then you get a message that says "Tina has given birth" it gets really confusing and for me, often out of control.)

[D.J. Ali]

I always name my animals!

[Lord of Ninetales]

I usually name my Lions stuff like Lion 1, Lion 2, Lion 3... gives it a more... hmm... heartwarming feeling... lol

[lamna]

we really need a forum for things related to both zt/zt2 general discussion, as this would be better off in there

[Sugar Glider]

Mine are named like after TV shows and their characters, like if a person is an "butt", you name the donkey after them. Or like video games, like Yuna, Paine, Rikku, Rinoa, Fayte, uhhhh, Halo (woo hoo), and a lot more.

Great idea... I thought you wer a mod, not an Admin.


nope im an admin thats why it says admin under my name :rofl

[bballprincess]

I always get my old school pictures. Its easier to name them.

[Tigeress_10]

I like to think up weird names is foreign languages, like Anadora, from 'Nas que anadora!' which looks remotely :rofl like the chorus of a Russian song. I'm creative with names.
I'm creative with females at least-:sweat not males. :sweat I use this system: (this may help mo )
Anadora Zebra 1
Jack Tiger 4
And so on. Easily controls population. And if they are names that could be male or female (i.e Kendall) than just go on what the message says; you wouldn't have a male giving birth would you?  :erm  So that works.

[TapirLover]

i just name them normal names, like jake, jack, molly

[Scientist George]

I only name them if they're a solitary animal, or one that doesn't like to breed. Trust me, naming all the animals in an exhibit full of Thompson's Gazelles and zebras is a PAIN.


I only give names to things like Great White Sharks, or Tyrannosaurus Rexes, or Loch Ness Monsters, or something.

Yes, I have Complete Collection. And it has Nessie. I pwn you!

[genkicoll]

I usually have soooo many animals in my zoo that I rarely name them.  I DO however name staff and maintenance workers, and sometimes exhibits something besides "Tigers"  I'll name my croc keeper "Steve Irwin", my great white shark tank "JAWS!", my first maintenance man is usually "Grunt", and the tour guides I tend to name after TV characters

[Ada]

I usually don't name my animals, though when I'm bored I name all the animals of a particular species, usually Elephants, Tigers, Walruses or anteaters.
Sometimes I just give them silly names like "Billy Bob" or "Mary Sue", but usually I name them after music stars, my friends, gods of different mythologies (yes, there WAS Odin the Panda, Leminkainen the Fallow Deer and Apollo the Emu), famous politicians ("Mr W. Bush you sure are a pig!") or famous philosophers ("Now Aristotle, you be nice and procreate or I'll trhow you to the Wittgenstein exhibit!").

Ovearll sometimes my mind is plain old twisted.

Geek post ahead.

I feel so unhappy when my animals' names are so average, like Ivory or Ebony, and not all exotic and stuff. So I made up a nifty system [Okay I have a lot of time on my hands and I am a nerd now stop making fun of me oh noes :>< ].

First letter of a name
X - Powerful (An animal with a strength 15 or more, such as a Hippo)
Y - Graceful/ Pretty (Such as a zebra, I find them cute :happy )
Z - Large (Like an elephant)
Q - Strange-looking (Such as a Camel)
J - Small (African Warthog)

Last letter of a name
Vowel - Female
Consanant - Male

Syllables
1-2: Birthed in the zoo
3-4: Purchased

Stop making fun of me for being a geek! It's really fuuuun
