My very first pet was one I tamed myself and still have though never use anymore. =(
Basil the mutant baznitch.
I tamed him way back when they were not agro and novice ch's could tame them. He was a great pet in his time. And such a cute little guy.
Cressida
whatever pops into my head which as resulted in:
first tame, female kaadu, named stupid (name due to the number of ?'s abover her head whiel i was tryig to teach her her first command)
shaupaut, called nut
peko peko called peek
female tusk cat, tusk
male kaadu loon
also got a few other unnamed in the cl10-20 range (i only name pets im sure im gonna keep)
ch 0,1,1,2
Giant Crustal Snake: Paradie'Selost
Rhoa Kwi Pack Leader: Isnogud
Blurrgs: Mahlzahn, Reisszahn, Raffzahn, Eckzahn, Einstein, Ssakcik
Wasteland Cupa : Rosinante
Kimos : Fluffy, Louis'Cypher
no real naming philosophy though

I usually name pets for an attribute or something I thought of. Before I dropped CH for the hologrind, I tried to name pets after various elements, and then after I got it again, I started naming a few after extinct animals, but kind of dropped that
Mountain Squill: AlienRaptor because I think it sort of looks like a Velociraptor, and its alien.
My two Mountain Dewbacks: Dune and Arrakis after the Dune series of books and very appropriate for Tatoonian natives
Angler: Venom, because it uses poison (venom).
Giant Angler: ImpEnvenomator, I thought of this while waiting for someone at the Rebel hidden outpost on corellia and I think its pretty funny
Graul Mauler: Rocky, same name it had when I bought it, I just thought its a nice name for a graul, so I kept it.
Merek Asassin: VenomousSpidermonkey, I just thought it was cool and a merek is a spider/monkey cross.
Thats all I can remember ATM since I'm not ingame. I haven't named all of my pets though.
This is a little offtopic, but I named my combat droid (a R3 unit) RancorFlea, while using it as a distraction against rancors and it really doesn't do much more than annoy rancors
heres the rest:
Desert Razorback: Aussie, named him because I thought of the razorback pig (feral pig) from australia, and so I named him that.
Giant Crystal Snake: JungleViper, forget why i called him that...
a CL 10 bantha mount from a guildie: Mammoth, well, its big and wooly, go figure, hehe.
I go for names that might actually be good for pets in SW, which means I avoid literary and cinema references. Names I've had that I can recall:
- Mac
- Rinyin
- Tanji
- Squonky
- Honya (I cheated here because this is bookstore in Japanese)
- Labya
- Jinx
- Moli
- Rags
- Biff
- Snark
- Laba
- Bobi
Currently, I have three stage banthas I use in my dance routine. They are named:
- Flash
- Dazzle
- Glamor
I figure it was only fair.
fav college basketball team ILLINI (bloodseeker mite)
peaches (enraged ancient flier) cause it sounds really gay
Sludge Panther - Pringles (after my cat)
Mottled Wrix - Bastet
Peko Peko - Andromeda
Bantha - Snuffleupagus
I have a couple more in my datapad that I have not yet named. I have no method, but there are a couple of pets that I have names already picked out for once i have reached that level and have tamed them.
- Freddy-Kreuger - Cowardly Gurreck (I like horror movies)
- Jason-Voorhees - Cowardly Gurreck
- Meat-Sheild - BE Ronto with good Kinetic resist
- Rosco - BE Bantha Mount (from before CH, I liked the name)
- Chewen-Jr - Male Mamien (Chewen is a Wookiee friend)
- Arokh-Jr - Kliknik (Arokh is another friend)
- Rynnn-Jr - Female Tusk Cat (Rynnn is yet another friend, and Rynnn is female)
I like to take my "friends" hunting with me so I named some pets after them so I can say that Arokh helped me take out a lair of Pikets or Chewen beat up a Gurk by himself. I have a couple Lesser Bols and a Thune that I have yet to name. I usually don't name my pets until they are full grown. I also can't wait until I get Management 3 so I can have Freddy and Jason both out at the same time.

I'll jump in...
My first pet as Dana was a Kaduu named Freckles. Not hard to see why.
The second one was a puppyish bol, with the name of Fido. Not my choice, but it fits.
Then I have Bubbles the durrni who just got a sister squall named Blossom (and yes, I plan to get a Buttercup in the future, just haven't found it yet)...
I also have a flit named Gull, as it looks like a seagull...
Floppy (heck, I'm not sure what it is, just looks like a BEM that flies)
Ubu the Gurrick (yes, I hear a lot of 'Sit, Ubu' jokes. Again not my choice of names)
Just got a mammoth bearded jax named Artemis (he looks like an Artemis)
And that is on Lowrca...
On Shadowfire, I just have a squill named Rocky (he looks like that famed squirrill) and Sedak (my first pet on either server) which is a minor sledge panther, who started life as a Gurrick til the devs got ahold of him...but that is another story for another day...
Dana Starchild-Lowrca
Arithon Kerson-Shadowfire (retired CH)
Here's a few of mine...
2 Gaping Spider Recluses - Lethal & Shrill(Lethal has saved my butt several times, and she's definitelymy favorite!)
Arachne Warrior - Arach
Rancor - Shearer (I bought this from someone else who'd give it this name, but I like it)
Humbaba - Bub
Bull Ronto - Ront
Giant Carrion Spat- Legs
2 BE Bearded Jaxes - Olga & Helga
BE Gurreck - Bruno
Fambaa - Shorty
Manigrue Screecher - Lassa (named after the nasty ebola virus strain, which is about as deadly as the disease these critters attack with)
Spined Puc - MasterOfAllThingsEvil (never has a more frightening and intimidating creature patrolled outside a starport!)
Bub and Ront were the first competent pets I used once I could pull out 2 pets at a time. I think I spent more time laughing while watching them fight together than actually helping them fight.
Something about 2 big herbivores stomping the tar out of anything we could find just got the best of me I guess.
