Is this allowed? I've searched round for an answer but found nothing :( It's probably easier if I just tell you my situation rather than provide a confusing example xD:

I would like to adopt a pet that's UFA in the forums, I would reeeaaaally like this pet - let's call him Jim. BUT, I'm also waiting on a name in the clearing on the 23rd June, let's call her Lola, I also desperately want this name lol. If I got lucky and my app was accepted and I got Jim, would I be able to give him to a friend to hold until I activate my gold account to get Lola. My slots are full, so I need a GA.

Ping me please :)

Yup, that's allowed and happens all the time. I've done it myself.

WOO! Thanks :)
