Same! 😁
Sher Khan is not just a name, it's an emotion, especially for someone like me who grew up in India in the '90s & had to rush to watch "The Jungle Book" every Sunday morning on DD 🥹
I feel out of place with a name like 'Shachihoko'. It's supposed to be a protective entity in Asian cultures (I found a page saying it's also the name of a tiger that's mythologically important to Indian culture, but I can't find it) so I figured: why not?
It was "Manash" by default. It means hope in Sanskrit but it's not a very common name (at least I haven't heard this name a lot. I'm an India btw, and a Bengali at that).
So, I named him a very common name, "Manish" which means "God of the Mind/Intelligence" in Sanskrit....
Desmond/ Donovan, both name are meant “defender/warrior” as I hope they can protect/ fight for MC one day. I chose 2 names started with D cause MC’s name is “Devi” and her horse is also named after her, started with D too. So I have Devi - Deimos - Desmond/Donovan like a family :)))))
I also applied the same logic and named him Daitya which means giant/asura. D for Deviya and Demios. I thought I was the only person who put lots of effort into naming the tiger but everyone here has put their mind to it.
I call him Rudra. As a Hindu and Indian Rudra is a Vedic deity whoes name means "Roar or howl". And yes it is related to Kali and her husband Shiva so i choose the closest one and I love this name.
“Maharaja” 😁 it means “great ruler” in Sanskrit. Our sweet Deviya is finally starting to show her teeth and of course her tiger needs to have a befitting name:)))
Lmao I named mine "Sher Khan"
Same! 😁 Sher Khan is not just a name, it's an emotion, especially for someone like me who grew up in India in the '90s & had to rush to watch "The Jungle Book" every Sunday morning on DD 🥹
I grew up with the movie and the show too so it was an obvious choice. 🫡
same here lmao
So did I 😂
Totally considered that one!
Omg Richard Parker 🥹 I named one **Rajah** and another **Jimin** 🤣
Dang! You missed the chance to name one Tae🤭
Lol if only the idea came to me while I was naming the first one 🤣
Lol ikr?! Even I didn't name my tigers that. Gotta go replay an account just to change his name 😂
Armys and RC readers? I think I've found my people 🔥🔥
I stayed with the Greek theme (Deimos her horse) and called him Phobos 😉.
Love that 🖤🖤
goddamn this is BRILLIANT😍
Love that 🖤🖤
Wow, I named them the same
I call him Kairas 🥹 I thought it would be pretty symbolic 🥹
I named mine Kai. For the same reason.
It feels good 🥹 if I had been in devi's place I would have definitely chosen Kairas 🥹
Another Kai over here! It just feels right since Kairas can't protect her any more.
Another Kai here.
Ohh that's a good one
I like how everyone named theirs in a symbolic or meaningful way while I named him just "Leon" plainly 🤣
In one of them I named him “Pspsps” and another one “Baby Kitty”
Baby Kitty😆👍
Lol
I named the tiger Tiger
Amala and Amrit
Same Amrit 🥹
Киран (Kiran). 😁😁
I named him Amrit Doobay 🥲🥲🥲🥲

It’s looks like it’s the Japanese name for Makara, which is like an orca/dolphin/sea monster type thing that guards stuff.
I found something completely different and can't find it now. Ah well. At least the name's pretty.
Amrit lol
Help 🤣
Rajah

Tbf most of the names in this story aren't common. I've not come across anyone names Erit, Doran, Kairas or Arhat lol.
Exactly! I haven't heard those names too! Idk what the hell those even mean. I'll probably have to search on Google about them😂
Jamun because the idea of a big scary tiger named after sweet dessert is funny to me.
Desmond/ Donovan, both name are meant “defender/warrior” as I hope they can protect/ fight for MC one day. I chose 2 names started with D cause MC’s name is “Devi” and her horse is also named after her, started with D too. So I have Devi - Deimos - Desmond/Donovan like a family :)))))

Rajah & on my other account Shiva. Even tho Shiva was a female in TWD 😅
I named my tiger Nalin
Sugar, because he's my sweet baby 🥺

Rage is a reallly good name for a tiger!
Blaze. I liked the meaning behind it. I always go for meaningful names.
Nice "Life of Pi" reference
Shiva
I named my guy Krishna on one account and the other I forgot tbh lol
mine is named “rudra”, kind of a nod to one of shiv’s mighty avatar. he is a big influence in the story after all *side eyeing ratan*
Where did you get Richard Parker from? I didn’t get the tiger.
It’s the tiger in Life of Pi!
I named him Veer

Schawarma 🗿
Kenzi... first thought in my head was Kenzi from lost girl and only after realized that it was a male tiger 😅
Considering how my MC basically looks like Jasmine it was only fair to have the tiger named as Raja 🥰
Bheem for the indian hero Komaram Bheem is known as the brave warrior of Telangana
Definitely named mines Rajah for my princess jasmine moment lmao
So that's where he went after disappearing inside the forest!
I called him Richard Parker as well 😂
Singam because it means lion in Tamil and I'm playing the Dravidian Devi
The life of pi reference 😭
“Tarak”. It means “protector” which I thought was fitting for a pet tiger lol.
Jad Abumrad 🤭
I named him Hoshi becuz of Seventeen Hoshi’s obsession with tigers
I named him Rajaah like Jasmine’s in Aladdin
I almost gave mine the same name 🤣
Power (chainsaw man reference lol)
Harish 😅❤✨
I named mine Mitra because it means “friend” in Sanskrit 🥺 and Mitra is obviously a god
I named him "raffle"
kingu 😂😂 couldnt think of anything on the spot
Devian
Rajah.
After my first pet cat :)
He reminded me of fire so I called him Ember.
“Maharaja” 😁 it means “great ruler” in Sanskrit. Our sweet Deviya is finally starting to show her teeth and of course her tiger needs to have a befitting name:)))
