Mount Names - Current and Future

[Gramul]

According to the lore, and this is explained when you get your Goobbue horn, that the reason you can't name your Goobbue is because the horn calls the nearest one to you from the wild, so it's never the same one.

So every time you mount a Goobbue it's always random one from the wild that you're controlling with your horn, and they aren't really tamed to begin with.

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

chocobo is named Denilvort, a Yuke name (Life as a King).
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
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."
