Choose a name you will use
Compare the name you would use every day with any longer formal version. A good shortlist should reflect the individual companion.
Try the name in a simple introduction: “This is Bella.” Then try the shortest form you would naturally use. Compare it with Peanut before adding more candidates. If you are naming several companions or characters, keep their names distinct rather than making every name rhyme.
Names are suggestions, not origin claims. For a specific language meaning or published character reference, check the original source before relying on it.
