About Palico names

Palicoes are the Felyne companions who cook, heal, trap and fight beside every hunter in Monster Hunter, and naming one is the first real decision in World, Rise, Generations Ultimate and Wilds. The series' own Felynes give plenty of cues: the Meowscular Chef, Purrgatory the guild receptionist's cat, the Grimalkynes, Bugtrappers and Plunderers of the Ancient Forest, and Rise's Bushi-style buddies. Capcom loves cat puns and Japanese food words, so a good Palico name usually sits somewhere between those two poles.

The most popular approach is a pun that swaps a syllable for meow, purr, paw, nyan or claw: Meowzart, Purrlock, Clawdia, Sir Meowsalot. The second is naming the Palico after a monster you love or hate, so Rathalos Roux, Zinny, Nergi and Arkveld are all common in-game. Japanese cat words and snacks (Neko, Tama, Mochi, Daifuku, Katsudon) nod to the series' origins, and heroic or military titles (Captain Paws, Commander Nyan) fit a Palico who has saved your run against Fatalis more than once. In Rise you also name a Palamute, and short food or fluff names like Biscuit and Chonkers work for both.

Felyne food skills (Moxie), hunt items and fish (Sushifish), hunter slang (Bonk), villages (Pokke) and coat names (Tuxedo) round out the list. Most names fit the in-game character limit, and none uses an apostrophe.

How to choose Palico names

Keep it short: the Palico name field allows a limited number of characters and other players see it in the hunt lobby, so eight to twelve letters is ideal.
Say the pun aloud before you commit; Purrlock and Meowzart land instantly, while three-layer puns are hard to read at a glance.
Name your Palico after the monster you plan to farm most, since you will be looking at that name during hundreds of hunts.
In Rise, give your Palico and Palamute names that pair well (Mochi and Dango, Neko and Inu) so your buddy roster reads as a set.
Avoid apostrophes and special characters, because the in-game filter and some region settings reject them.

Frequently asked questions

How many characters can a Palico name have?

Monster Hunter World allows up to 12 characters for a Palico name and Rise and Wilds allow a similar limit, using letters, numbers and spaces only. Names longer than that are truncated or rejected at the character creation screen.

Can I rename my Palico later?

In Monster Hunter World you need a Character Edit Voucher to change your Palico's name and appearance. Rise lets you rename buddies more freely through the Buddy Board, and Wilds offers a similar edit option.

What are Palicoes actually called in the lore?

Palicoes are Felynes, one of the Lynian species alongside Melynx and Shakalaka. Named Felynes in the games include the Meowscular Chef, Purrgatory and the Grimalkyne tribes, all of which are fair game as inspiration.

Do these names work for a Palamute or a real cat?

Yes. The food names, Japanese words and shorter puns work for Palamutes, and much of the list makes a good real cat name too, though titles like Sir Meowsalot are best kept for the game.
