I'm finding it nearly impossible to name pets anything short of a single letter because anything that even remotely resembles a name is disallowed by the filter. Either this is a bug (accidental reverse logic) or the developers here have a pretty aggressive stance on what is an inappropriate name.
Ease up on the pet naming filter

I have a dark green dragon and white wyrm and wanted to name then Ying & Yang. Inappropriate apparently, so had to call the Yingg &Yangg. Not sure where they got their filter from

Interesting topic, I've always been annoyed by this too, and wondered how the filter is determined.
I can use relatively vulgar names, but a lot of normal ones i can't, like Tuesday.
I'm sure this has something to do with not having same named pets by multiple players.

+1 to easing up on it.
I mean seriously, I don't even bother naming pets anymore.
Unless I name my pet "FORSALE", it's going to be default named until I can name them something I enjoy.

Yup. Hopefully this can be changed....
My dragon's name: a dragon
My nightmare's name: a nightmare
My beetle's name: a giant beetle
I gave up trying to name my pets...

You can't name pets after players. If the players' name(s) exist in our database, I'm pretty sure they will be deemed as "Inappropriate".

And seeing pretty much every good name is a player's name...

Oh wow! Ok, that's one logical explanation that didn't occur to me.
I literally thought it was a bug in the code where the logic was flipped to make legitimate names illegal.
Any chance you will reconsider this policy and allow player names as pet names? IMO, anyone who would be offended by a pet having the same name as their character is probably too soft for full loot open PVP anyway. AMIRITE?

What's the worst that can happen?? Someone goes around naming every pig on the server with your name?..

It may be tied into the "Player Name Unique" system.
Not sure there's a solid reason *WHY*, but we're taking a peek at it to see what we can do.

Wishing this could change too. It's way more fun being able to name your pet's whatever you want.

I wish they would let us do the trick to keep the spaces in a pets name like on OSI.

I know of a 'rare' horse with spaces in its name. Probably the only one. Friend received it a long time ago

We have a potential fix for this that we'll be testing later.

Did a small fix however you can not and will not be able to name your pets after the name of a base creature for instance. You can't name a dog "cat" or a horse "dragon. These are unacceptable names. You also can not name your pets after a player. IF someone on the server has the name "Ying" then you can not use that name for your pet. So be more creative with your names.
Will see if we can soften it up a bit more.
