Name your little ball of electricity "Sparky"? 
Your carnivorous plant thingy Audrey III?
In general, yes... just a few things that might have problems:
- Warshade Extracted Essences. Since you never know how many you'll have, how they're gained, etc.
- Peacebringer Photon Seekers are technically "pets," as are seeker drones, the FF generator in Traps, Plant control's Spirit Tree, oil slick, Blizzard, etc. I'd have to wonder if it'd goof those up somehow.

Alright. Then may the basic pets like Phantom Army or Phantasm? I wouldn't want to nitpick on every pet and have to name them like drones and such. This would be more for animate pets versus inanimate pets. |

Oh, I'm not *against* it, I'm just wondering if it's tied into the designation of "pet" vs "Henchman," and what putting that ability in might do. If they could limit it? Great.

I thought about this one for awhile now being that I have two MM's under my belt. The thing that makes this game fun is the ability to "personalize" your toons and sometimes their pets. Case in point for my MM's. With my Bots/Traps, I have Larry, Moe and Curry, for my Battle Drones. For my Protector Bots, Doc Brown and Doc Roboto. For my big guy the Assault Bot, T-1000. For my Demon Summoning MM I have Dexter, Bexter and Thyme for my Deomonlings. For my fire and ice Demons, Degoddomus and Hydominous. For my Demon Prince, Haydeus.
Now, with that being said, when it comes to other Archetypes other than MM's that can get pets such as Controllers, Corruptors, Dominators, or others that I forgot to mention. Why don't we have the ability to name those pets? Even if some pets are on 4 min toggles and then die off, there really should be no reason why we cannot name them? This would only apply to permanent pets not the temp power pets we might get in game such as on the mish "Retrieve Tobias' heirloom form Vampry Mountain" and when you get the Temp Power Warwolf Whistle to summon up to five Warwolfs. Being that they only last a short time, it really wouldn't make much sense to name them only to have them gone after a short while.
For my level 50 Ill/Rad Controller, I would love to be able to name my Phantasm and my Phantom Army. Again, it all comes down to personalization. This is what this game is and was built on. Personalize your costumes. Personalize your toons name. Personalize your Super Group Base. Personalize what your toon looks like. etc, etc, etc. So, let us continue this and have the ability to "personalize" ALL of our pets, not just some. What do you guys think?
