Jijie, it means "seasons" in Chinese and it sounds cute.

hngg Jijie is insanely cute what

(also its pronounced Ji Ji-eh but i aint faulting anyone for wanting to say gee geeeeee)

sheit hoLD UP a friend told me that the latter pronounciation is slang for penis so ITS JI JI-EH OR NOTHING GUYS

Ooh, I like this!

I would offer:

Gaiwan - for some tea based spirituality. Reference info HERE

Osmanthus - further tea based fun. Reference info HERE

Trumble - its cute, its weird. trumblephant? trumble, trumble. seems like a sound effect for an elephant walking. Usther, Ustherant - Musth is a period in bull elephants with heightened testosterone. Uniolle - playing with union since elephants are super sociable and tight knit Uvorin - union and ivory Uliphan / Ulidan - variation on the french oliphant edit: working with above, oolidan - oliphant + oolong tea

hephaloong? like heffalump (the pooh equivalent of elephants) and loong like... dragon in chinese/common chinese surname

i'm gonna voice my support for 's suggestion of Qiangxi. or, in a similar vein, perhaps Qiangla - a mountain range between Tibet and Nepal.

dhorus.

Ulonaari

• oo-loh-nah-ree - Wanted the word to sort of look and sound like it was inherited from a dialect born in a far-removed, mystical place. I somehow ended up with this. I began by restructuring the word oolong for a starting point. Beyond that the word is based on nothing, and therefore relies on no lore separate from whatever Subeta has in store for it.

rosakemono

Rosa is the Latin word for rose and kemono is the Japanese word for creature. Sorry if it is not a rose, but it looked like it from here.

Snuffatuskalump! Google has nothing xD

My suggestion is Tythian.

I'll throw in Qikang, a shameless portmanteau! Just based on what we know about Shengui Guo and our new mystery bud, I wanted to find a way to tie the two together.

(As a heads-up, these are all things I studied very briefly in college, and as I have very limited knowledge of these topics, I'd love corrections or input from anyone with more knowledge on the topic! ^^; )

The first syllable is derived from qi gong, a type of wellness exercise that focuses on physical motions and the movement of internal energies that borrows heavily from Daoist, Confucian, and Buddhist principles.

The second syllable comes from Kangiten, Japanese Buddhism's equivalent of Ganesh, who you've probably heard of at this point. ;P He's historically been associated with wisdom and overcoming both internal and external obstacles.

YBOTEH where the Y is because we do not have a pet with this starting letter and boteh is the drop shape persian design that in ancient Mesopotamia identified the bud of the palm datter known as the tree of life. Also known as Paisley.

suggestion; Willsprit

explanation; Spirit of the willow. Willow trees are where aspirin come from originally. Sleeping under one would remove your headache - and therefore improve your dreams.

If we're going with Y or Q, here's an adorable "Y" elephant that lives in freedom in sanctuary in Thailand, saved from abuse of the tourist industry.

Yindee: Look at the pleasant character, of course he is baby Yindee whose name is mean "Pleasure". Yindee was born with freedom and never get any ferocity, he lives joyfully with warm love from mom (Mintra) and all other members in his family. It is wonderful to see he is growing gorgeously.

Alternatively, Hanako, in memory for the elephant who recently passed away in Japan after living a life of suffering and solitude.

Of course, I still vote for little Navaan ("Gold" in Cambodian), the most adorable elephant calf around. (https://www.facebook.com/TheElephantNaturePark/photos/a.10151329215120543.816359.302049855542/10156848375110543/?type=3&theater)

based on just the description, I'd go with something like 'Liophant' but not sure what I'd go with for the Q, Y or U letter.

I really like "Puerh", myself.

Remember: baku aren't elephants! They're mythological chimerids that include elephant tusks in their getup, but they traditionally have tapir faces, tigerlike markings, and lots of fluff. ;o

Qhanae/Quanae (Qwa-nae) : HaNae is an actual kanadiga word for elephant!

i have never seen a chinese word spelt 'erh' - is this a english-fied version of pu-er maybe? (though the actual pronunciation would probably be closer to aer or ehr but without the soft 'h' sound arghhh i have no idea how to pronouncify chinese or grammatify and spellingfy my english)

either way, as pretty a name Puer/Puerh is, i think its too narrow a scope to name a pet entirely on one facet. thats just my thought. T-T

but yknow what its gonna be a name for a fictional pet so i dont know im so fussy over this. someone slap me if i do this again. ;3; /grumpily slaps self

Maybe ;P

Essentea- essence + tea

Sprifurtea- spirit + fur + tea
