Just so this is .. on the books:
PC pet names should be distinct per class. I think. Research will verify, but I'm including this as it's a completely external research project. Necromancer pets should be named from a different list than Magician pets. The same likely goes for Enchanters and Shamans. i.e. Ever seen a necromancer pet named 'Laser' ?
I increased the known pet name list on eqemu prior to p99 launch in 2009. Nothing has been done since.
Code:
const char *GetRandPetName()
{
static const char *petnames[] = { "Gabaner","Gabann","Gabantik","Gabarab","Gabarer","Gabarn","Gabartik",

If we had different lists for the different pet classes, we could distinguish them upon summoning.
