Pet names from drops and quests

I think we all find it pretty annoying when we get a pet as a drop from a battle or it's a reward for a quest and it's name is like "lady Sebastian" or "sir Amanda" or anything were the gender for the name and what ever is before the name don't match(which has happened all but two times for me). So I was hoping kingsisle could make it so certain beginnings and endings couldn't go together when the name is randomly selected. It's not a very good change but it's just a simple thing to fix that could just make the game a bit less annoying sometimes.

You can go into the Dye Shop and change your pet's name there.

I know but it's a bit annoying having to always go back to change the name it would be much easier if it came with an ok name. Maybe you could go back and change it to something better but at least you wouldn't need to take a brake from questing and go all the way to wizard city so often because the pet name is horrible.

Yes, but it's a pain to have to do that practically every time I get a new pet. We should be able to name pets when they hatch instead of the game giving us a random name for the pet.

I've never seen it being too difficult. KingsIsle can't really make pets come with a 'decent name,' because that's entirely based on opinion. What might seem like a dumb name to you may seem like an awesome name to another.

it is a little annoying to get gender confused pets where the prefix doesn't suit the suffix. I have often thought there could be a way to stop it, maybe if they just left the prefix off entirely with new pets then at least it wouldn't be as annoying. It isn't a major issue but it is quite annoying.
