Name him Mephistopheles and have him speak in Abyssal.


You could also give it the name of a dragon like Ashardalon and have him speak Draconic.

1. Pick a language that is not your native tongue.
2. Google a translator between that language and your native tongue.
3. Translate words such as bird, raven, feather, etc.
4. Pick one.
5. ???
6. PROFIT!!

This is how I name all of my characters, familiars, etc.

Thoth. I know he was an ibis, but come on.
The Egyptians credited him as the author of all works of science, religion, philosophy, and magic. The Greeks further declared him the inventor of astronomy, astrology, the science of numbers, mathematics, geometry, land surveying, medicine, botany, theology, civilized government, the alphabet, reading, writing, and oratory. They further claimed he was the true author of every work of every branch of knowledge, human and divine.
Huginn or Munnin. The ravens in service of Odin. Their names means "Thought" and "Memory" respectively.

I have a tradition of sorts of naming the familiars of my characters after archfiends or similar powerful evil beings. Examples have included Hasitaal (deity of lust and corruption, basically), Orcus, and one of Sauron's lesser known names - can't recall which, though.

NEVERMORE....

Actually he was probably simply referencing Haley's name for V's familiar from OotS...

The last time I had a character with a Raven familiar, it was named Kunguru, after the Swahili name for the pied crow. Mainly because I really like the look of pied crows.

Make yours albino, and have it arrogantly hate Nevermore. The name doesn't matter as much, then. :smallwink:

Also: "Morrigu", from Celtic mythology ... "Lady" or "Murgen" from the later Black Company books ... "Eyeplucker" for general creepiness.

Currently the Raven I use is named Trevor. Not really sure why, it just seemed to fit.
