You don't understand. Every Goober is named Mistomeanor.
That is, every one that isn't used by someone else.

My first and last names are major Yuke characters in Ring of Fates and The Crystal Bearers respectively.
My path companion is (was?) Jegran, the main antagonist and a Lilty (but looks more like an XI Galka) in Crystal Bearers.
My retainers are Waltrill (Yuke name, a Roe in XIV) and Meeth (A Lilty name, Lalafell in XIV), supporting characters in Echoes of Time and Ring of Fates respectively.

Oh how could I forget to include these since we're talking about names?! I guess this is a bonus round for those who have posted already haha.

My Path Companion's name is Brosef. I chose the rather cowardly male Lalafel gladiator. I named him thus because I figured being a Path Companion and all he'd grow to be strong and brave (umm...that didn't quite happen...) and would be my Lala bro. It is also a reference to my D&D game that I named my character after as Brosef was the totally stoked tour guide for the Yummyberry Jelly Factory.

My retainers are a female Lala named Tippi (named after another one of my D&D NPCs who was a gnome always digging around for something - so appropriate for what she is!) and a big, green Roegadyn named Rabka (same reason as Tippi though this NPC was a general (as oppossed to Admiral Akbar) in search of something powerful so he is my weapons/armor guy where Tippi is my misc. stuff holder).

Choco was Hidalgo and Path Companion was Ulmia.

Chocobo: Kui

Chocobos remind me of Yupa's (later Nausicaa's) faithful companions in Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa so I named my chocobo after one of them.

Holy shit they are everywhere.. (I've seen this before.. just a long time ago forgot about it XD)

Is there an animal in Japan that has a chocobo esque shape? Or just too damn cute to pass up? lol

I had to look up (and I mean look UP towards the ceiling) for the name of my chocobo.
It's "Starmex".

It's actually the brand name of my Mitsubishi air-conditioner :o
It's also the name of my bands in Rock Band 2/3....

I didn't know you could name the Goobbue...

I thought they look a bit like dodos (not the more plump FFXIV dodos):

And apparently the idea for chocobos came from Nausicaa (if Wikipedia and its reference are to be believed)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nausica...nd_%28manga%29
(scroll down to the last line of the Reception section)

And reference #14 from that Wikipedia entry:

Rogers, Tim (March 27, 2006). "In Defense of Final Fantasy XII". Edge. "Okay, so the Chocobos -- big, yellow riding birds -- were actually stolen from Hayao Miyazaki's movie 'Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind', and Hironobu Sakaguchi freely admitted that way back when."

Yoshi said we will get it during one of the main quests - even talked about it possibly having special features during that portion of the quest.

I named my Chocobo Ganymede. After Jupiter's moon, rather than the Greek mythos. I was huge into astronomy while I was in school, and I've liked naming things after the planets' moons.

Square's a bunch a thieeeeeeeeeves.

Named my Chocobo Thor.

No real relevance to a character I like, just thought it sounded nice.

I named my Chocobo FingerLikn cause it seemed so right......

Chocobo: Pointbreak
Retainer 1: Sciencebros
Retainer 2: Billionaireplayboy

Notice a pattern? :)

those look more like ostriches which could have been taken from reality since people actually ride ostriches.

I actually had the chance to ride one myself once, but they freaked me out too much.

My chocobo's name is Albatross--
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...-Albatross.jpg


Path companion's name is Grantham (cause everyone in Downton Abbey's got swagg, yo)-- and he's an elezen.

called my horse bird redrum cos i could

My Chocobo is named after Marduk, to go with the name flow!

I like to call my Goobbue, goby pls.

My actual character is Rjain Midnight, this account doesn't have a chocobo, though I'm only temporarily using it anyway. My chocobo's name is Mjolnir. I wanted to keep the second-letter J thing going. "RJ summons MJ!"

Named my Chocobo "Cosmo" and when I start breeding, I'll get me a female one and name her "Wanda" u///u
Didn't name my Goobue, but I guess "Bob" would fit him.

Current (Male): Prenuncius
Future (Female) Meyneth

Your Delta Tau Chi name is.... I mean,

My Chocobo's name is: Marvin

He's always telling me how heavy I am, and what a burden his job is.

There are a lot of great names and even better reasons for them!
