I've started with naming them alphabetically. So my first regular and wild girl and boy knuffles would all have names that begin on the letter A, and then B and so forth. I don't know how I'll do with the event knuffles though. And I also like to give my knuffles unusual names.

Usually the first thing that comes to mind, is what works for me. :D

Some I just picked names I liked (the earlier ones). Then I started characters from books. I have the 9 Bright Shiners from the Abhorsen series, a lot of the characters with the Dragonkin series, some of the Chronicles of the Warlands series (both of those are cheesy romance books, but whatever, they're at least unique-ish names), and also some of my friend's and my RP characters.

Something related to, or just random name that come up to my mind xD
But for some wildies, I named them just exactly how the creator named them. That, unless I have some other name in my mind~

By the shop ones the moment I see them I usually have a name popping in my mind. With the wild ones I have no idea it's a different method every time. :D

if i had knuffels i would name then by Japanese name meanings hehe x)

I usually go to a babyname site and pick a name with a fitting meaning or sometimes some name that "sounds like the knuffel". Sometimes I pick a word in a foreign language (like Spanish, Latin, Elvish, ...) and change it a little bit so that it sounds more like a name.

I usually name my knuffel based on their element. For this, I go to a baby name site and pick one that I think fits the knuffel. Sometimes I just come up with a name that's related to their appearance. If they remind me of a book character, I'll name them after that character.
