Help[Opinions] Re: Coyote
in reply to a message by Ani
The only one I know of is Coyote Peterson.
It reminds me of Canyon as well as other animal names like Fox and Bear.
I think it could catch on as a name if you ignore the smuggling thing. I don't think the trickster feel would prevent it from catching on, since Raven is also a trickster and that's a popular name.
Coyotes themselves are also getting more popular, along with other animals that used to be "uncool" because they're good at exploiting anthropogenic environments.
Coy is a great nickname too. (If you want a visual nickname then Coy, for a more intuitive sound nickname maybe Cy pronounced like Kai?)
The thing that would stop me is the pronunciation differences. I say the animal with 2 syllables but as a name it seems like it should have 3, but I wouldn't want to use the 3-syllable pronunciation for my kid's name since that's not how I'd normally say it.
Some other mammal name ideas:
Hare (not as a sibling to Fox or Coyote though :P)
Jackal (and if you think it's cheesy you can go by Jack)
Marten
Wolf
Castor (as in beaver, maybe usable because of Castor & Pollux?)
Hart
Pika
Tiger
Wapiti
Oryx
Hyrax?
Tenrec?
Ferret (?? rhymes with Garrett and Barrett, but is also a verb)
Eland
Sable
Nyala
Lynx
Koala
