Anyone else name any of their pets after WoW characters? My Border Collie is named Arthas. I wanted to name him Thrall, but my wife didn't like it, so we settled on Arthas Menethil.
He's possessed by Ner'zhul! Look at his eyes! Just like the human Arthas!
Seriously though, he's adorable! I haven't named any RL pets after warcraft characters, but in-game I named my Perky Pug after my RL pug, Emmett. Sort of in reverse to what you said! :P
Thought this was about names for combat pets in the game to which i would say i name my pets after pokémons...but no i don't name my real pets after WoW characters.
