Ok, starting to get the hang of posing. All I want to know now is, how do you all come up with your show names? Plus, how will I know if someone is already using that show name? (Thought it seemed better to ask this under posing than general help since it is posing related)

Haha, I always have a hard time coming up with shownames for my petz as well. There's no way to be 100% sure about someone else having the same showname as yourself, but that shouldn't really matter anyway, because the prefix wouldn't be the same. So if two petz with matching shownames were to end up in the same show, you'd still be able to know the difference from looking at their prefix. As for coming up with shownames...sometimes I'll use a title of quote from a movie/ song or something of the sort. There are also some sites out there, that could help you out, if you're looking to find a fitting showname. Here's one that I use from time to time www.freewebs.com/horse-show-names/Hope this helped a bit=) happy showing!

For my petz, I'll sometimes pick show names that go with their regular name (ex Blitzkrieg for Blitz). I also come up with show names based on the look of the pet. I have one cat that looks a little crazy so I picked Twisted as his show name. Hopefully that could give you some ideas also.

A lot of the times, I use a quote from a show, or the name of an episode from a show:
Insanity/Gotham's The Man In The SUV Gotham's Matchmaker
Gotham's You Want Fun? Date A Cop Gotham's Hand Me That Foot, Would You?
And then once in a while, their name will inspire me:
Krik/Gotham's Cinnamon Pretzel - Cin Gotham's October Sky - October

I generally go from the petz' name, especially if they already have a fandom name.
Discworld's Knotching the Arrow Alonwin ^ this one just flows really nicely with the name.
Discworld's Mayor of Can Town Vagabond ^ that one's a homestuck reference.
Discworld's Aluduin Attacks Helgen ^ Skyrim reference!

I try to have the show name and call name be related and also try to have the name match the pets look. I have a ton of show dog magazines so I often skim through there to get ideas and inspirations for show names^^ or sometimes, I'll randomly pick a name/quote from the top of my head xD
