I am not fond of giving creations "names." It would be saying that I actually care about them, which is exactly the opposite of what I'm really trying to do.

So no, I don't name my creations.

I like giving my creations names relative to their species if they can survive for a while.

Clawbug - Stinghunter
Drayk - Fyrewyrm
Eyebeast - Chaoseye

Whenever I make creations, which is not often, I give them names. I play as a Shaper, but I usually just start out with one Fyora that I level up until it can handle on it's own. Then I make an Artilla or a Searing Artilla.

Think the last time I made a Fyora, its name was Hrath. I don't know where I got the name.

The Artillas I make usually have acid somewhere in their names, sometimes only the letters. Katanacid, Searcidth, etc.

The last Drayk I made had the name Sorath, maybe because it had wings.

I sometimes name my creations according to their perfomance on the field. If they did badly in their first fight i name them "loser" or "slacker" but if they do good then I give them postive names like "God of all" or let them keep their original names like they want.

Wait its not like you can talk or interact with your creations so why would you want to give them names anyway. huh o well.

Well, I give them names so that I can tell my seven fyoras/drayks apart.

Mine die too quickly, there's no reason to give them names. I basically use creations as cannon fodder.

Actually, come to think of it, I used to give them names before I realized how nice they work as cannon fodder. I always named my most powerful creation "Brutus", or "Brutilius", or something like that.

Why do you need to tell them apart, Drakey? Isn't the highlight thing good enough?

You need to have 3 of the ability to get those skills. 3 to fyora will get you a cryoa and 3 to drayk will get you cryodrayk.

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't "Godzilla" fit to a Drakon better than to a Fyora/Cryoa? :P

I just realized that this was GF 1, not GF 2. That is all.

It might, but the Fyora is so small and cute...

EDIT: Godzilla doesn't fly, actually, so I think it suits better to a fyora anyway

I always name my creations :) Naming them and keeping them alive is quite important to me. Naming them depends on my mood. Usually I give them cute finnish names. Some sort of virtualpet-syndrom I guess, lol.

You're really into this virtual-pet thing... :P

I sometimes name my creations. But only fancy names with "von" and "af", mind you.

TGM once told me that his clawbug was named...Edvard? Edmund? I can't quite remember. Anyway, that's about the coolest name you can give to a clawbug. No, seriously.

I have a problem that I treat my creations more as my compatriots than the cannon fodder they are. I always name them.

I give my creations names based on one of three things:
1. their species (artila=Shai'Hulud)
2. their master's name (master named Aragorn, creations named after hobbits)
3. if I have a few different species, I name each group after a duo or trio (my first fyoras were named Bill n' Ted, my artilas Jay and Silent Bob)

I always alliterate my creations' names with their species... and since the first time through G1 I kept the same creations all the way -- nothing died, nothing reabsorbed -- I became very fond of Fred the Fyora, Fud the Fyora, Dax the Drayk, and Chris the Clawbug.
