So I'm not sure if this already has a thread or not, I looked but wasn't able to find anything (famous last words before someone comes in with a link haha). But anyway, I am aware that tail-naming is a thing, which was brought to my attention by Raina and was wondering what people name their tails. Also maybe if you want to name your tail but are having trouble thinking of one you could probably come here too for suggestions? I don't really know haha.

Again if this is already a thread please forgive me. If it's a horrible idea also forgive me, but I would love to know what people name their tails, since right now I only know Raina with Ponyta, Rapidash, Mega Rapidash ect. and my own, which I affectionately call Luna <3

The first and second tails I made, I named it after the name of the fabric. Aloha Orange is the name of it, shortened to Aloha Tail I and II.

The 3rd tail was, Daisy Tail, like the first, named after the fabric. Something happened and I ended up with a tail too small so I had chopped off the fluke and sewed it onto the 2nd Aloha tail.

The 4th tail I made, I named it Trout Fish because I like the fins of the trout and added it to my tail.

The 5th has no name yet as I'm still undecided whether to make my own matching one piece with big dorsal fin on it. The tail has a dorsal fin on it, that runs from bum to heels.

A few words that have "green" or "jewel" connotations etc:
(Also I thought I remembered something about inspiration from a peacock?)


Ilia - Latin origin of jade
Esmaralda (Esma, Esme, Meralda) - vulgar Latin for emerald
Mya - from Burmese (emerald) and Latin (a genus of salt-water clams)
Smaragdus/Smaragdos - Latin/Greek for "green gem"
Nagina - Hindi for jewel
Verna, Viridis, Viridia, Verde - from Latin "vernus" (spring-like) and "vireo" (green, young, fresh)
Salvia - genus of sage
Icterina - type of sage with gold-green leaves
Juel - middle English for jewel
Aurea - golden in Latin
Pavo - the genus of peafowl
Taos - Latin for peacock, related to Persian "tavus"

I know it's slightly weird but your tail reminds me of the film The Road to El Dorado X3 One of my faves as a kid! Probably not a great suggestion but your tail really is beautiful like the city of gold itself!

Lothlorien. It looks elven and magical-foresty. :) Or Tauriel. If you're not a Middle Earth fan, then the gold and green looks like the Serpentine stone, which is beautiful.

So I know my tail is a mass produced finfun but I wanted to name it. It was brought to my attention that the design looks like pictures of dark matter in space 26346 so I've started to call it Dark Matter

I have a dolphin tail that doesn't have a name.
another tail I have is one with clear parts in the fins, it's called butterfly
and my last one is a rave tail, cause it's black, white and neon blue
I have one other tail design, which I hopefully will make from silicone, it will be called fairy dragon.
very unoriginal names :P

I haven't really come up with a name for my current tail. So if anyone could help with that, I would appreciate it!

All I know is that my next tail will be called "Fang" (from FFXIII)

I have some weird suggestions that came to me when I look at your tail your tails speaks simplicity to me it needs:

Evergreen - when I look at it reminds me of the ever green trees in england
Esmay - A gypsy name I don't know)
Sylvie - It means from the forest ( I really like this one)
Willow
Flora
Meadow
Ivy

​Hope this helps :P
