I have 4,000 Un-named Pets, I want names for all of them.
This is where you come in. In return for naming my poor nameless Sylesti, you receive prizes.
Please read all of the rules and be aware I may not pick all or any of the names you suggest. Don't be offended or discouraged if I don't pick your names, It doesn't mean it's bad, I'm just picky sometimes.
Do not clog up my thread with anything unrelated to the threads purpose.
This is a remake of my old thread Name a Pet, Get a Pet.

Rules and Instructions
Rules:
1. Remember to ping me when posting.
2. Link to the Sylesti you are trying to name.
3. Try not to spam posts, you can edit or wait for my response to your post.
4. I don't name for sale pets. (I also prefer not to name most PBs)
5. Pick up your egg before it becomes an adult or you forfeit it back to me.
6. I'm not obligated to choose any names you suggest.
7. You only receive a prize if I choose a name you suggest, just suggesting them does not qualify you for a prize.
8. If you wish to accumulate prizes, keep track of the form you receive. The way you wish to do that is up to you, but must be verifiable.
Extra Info:
You can post multiple Sylesti and multiple names, there is no limit.
You can post the names with no particular Sylesti in mind, but that's not preferred.
I might use the name you suggested for a different Sylesti, or I might be inspired by your name and choose something related; In both cases, you will still receive your prize.
Only Sylesti with "Un-named" as their name can be given a name.
If you want, you can ask me to try to explain what I do and don't like about names you have suggested but I can't promise it will be very helpful or that I will always do it.
Some name Dislikes (If these are suggested they probably won't be picked):
1. Names that are kinda...obvious. Such as naming a Vul with tiger stripes and an orange-ish coat tiger or a purple Sylesti violet (Especially if it's not even violet.)
2. Please do not make up your own words or names.
3. Repeat names. I don't like having two or more pets named the same thing. It's less annoying if they are from different species.
4. Anything mean-spirited or in reference to something bad.
Some name Likes (These are more likely to be picked):
1. Names from or inspired by mythology, history, anything like that.
2. Names with a meaning or story behind them or why you chose them for that pet.
3. Food Name. Meals, Condiments, Sauces, Candies, etc.
4. References to things like Games, Shows, Books, Podcasts, anything like that. (Feel free to give recommendations.)

Frequently Asked Questions Please check to see if your question has already been answered.

A: PB stands for Purebred. The offspring of two Sylesti that share a theme. You can tell if they are a PB by the blue star and the name of the theme under the names of the parents and above the traits.
Q: How do I ping someone?
A: You can ping someone by clicking the blue @ at the bottom right of their post or by putting their username in the box under "Ping Users". If you want to ping multiple people, separate their names in that box by a comma.
Q: How do I link a Sylesti or a Post?
A: You can link either by copying the URL and pasting it in your post. You can make them clickable by highlighting the pasted URL and clicking the blue button that says URL. It should look similar to this [url]https://www.sylestia.com/forums/?thread=103182&page=1#5[/ url] but without the space.

Notes:
New players (less than a month) can have one free egg. To collect, PM me, but don't post about it on here.
I need to organize my stables better to make this (and my life) easier.
Might add a prize wheel or something at some point.
Generally want to improve the quality and balance of the prizes.
