About sky bison names

A sky bison is the six-legged, flat-tailed flying companion of the Air Nomads in Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. In the shows a young airbender bonds with a bison calf and the two stay partners for life, so the name is one a child might pick: short, soft and affectionate. The canon bison prove it. Appa, Oogi, Pepper, Lefty, Juicy and, in the Kyoshi novels, Pengpeng are all pet names, with no titles and no warrior flourishes.

This list of 1,000 keeps to that spirit. Those six canon names are included as style anchors; every other name is a suggestion for your own bison and is not offered as a canon bison name. You will find soft coined names (Oomi, Bappo, Loomi), doubled syllables (Bobo, Lulu, Kiki), cloud, wind and weather names (Windfall, Mackerel Sky, Tailwind), food and sweets (Bao, Potsticker, Moon Peach), and jokes about fur, size and those six legs (Shaggy, Whole Village, Six-Step).

There are also calf names (Little Loaf, Wee Rumble), dignified names for the elders of a temple herd (Elder Frost, Grandmother Gale), names an Earth Kingdom or Water Tribe child might choose (Cabbage Cart, Mukluk), a handful of pair names such as Huff and Puff, and herd names such as The Nap Committee.

How to choose sky bison names

  • Keep it short and soft. One or two syllables with round vowels and gentle consonants, like Oomi, Bao or Drift, sit next to Appa and Oogi without sounding out of place.
  • Name the bison the way its rider would have as a child. A calf is usually named by the kid who bonds with it, so food, weather and whatever the calf just did (Big Sneeze, Ate My Hat) are all fair sources.
  • Say it out loud before 'yip yip'. A bison name gets called across a courtyard or a canyon, and Noodle or Bobo carries where a five-word name does not.
  • Save the dignified names for elders. Elder Cloud, Patience or Grandmother Snow suit the old leader of a temple herd; a calf with a name like that will need a nickname.
  • Match the name to who chose it. An Air Nomad child reaches for clouds and fruit pies, an Earth Kingdom farm child for Mudpie or Cabbage Cart, a Water Tribe child for Snowball or Mukluk.

Frequently asked questions

Which sky bison names in this list are canon?

Six: Appa, Oogi, Pepper, Lefty and Juicy from the shows, and Pengpeng from the Kyoshi novels. They are included as style anchors, and the franchise may name other bison that are not listed here. Every other name is a suggestion for your own bison, not a canon bison name, though a few borrow words from the setting, such as Yip Yip and Cabbage Cart.

How are sky bison usually named?

The stories give no formal rule. The pattern in the canon names is that bison are named like beloved animals: short, soft and a little silly, with no titles or family names. That is why this list leans on names such as Bao, Noodle, Drift and Lulu instead of grand warrior names.

Are Momo and Poki sky bison names?

No. Momo and Poki are winged lemurs, a different Air Nomad companion animal, so they are not in this list. If you need a lemur name, the short doubled-syllable names here (Bobo, Kiki, Lulu) suit one too.

What is a good name for a baby sky bison?

Calf names in the list are small and affectionate: Little Bao, Wee Puff, Itty Bit, Short Hop, Half Loaf. A name that jokes about size ages well, because the calf called Tiny or Small Fry will one day carry a whole family.
