How to choose a unicorn name that lasts

The names people keep tend to follow a few quiet rules. These are worth applying before you commit.

1. Match the coat, not the mood. A name drawn from what your unicorn actually looks like, such as Frostmane, Emberly or Opaline, still fits after you have changed saddles four times.
2. Say it out loud. If it is awkward to shout across a lobby, it is the wrong name.
3. Two syllables travel best. Luna, Pyra, Zephyr and Nova all stick immediately; five-syllable names get shortened by other players whether you like it or not.
4. Leave room for a nickname. Seraphina becomes Sera, Constellation becomes Connie. Pick a name whose short form you also like.
5. Avoid the trend of the month. Names borrowed from whatever is popular right now age faster than names borrowed from folklore.

Build your own: the two-word formula

If nothing on the list is quite right, most great unicorn names are just two ideas welded together. Take one word from each column and try the combinations out loud.

Column one: light, weather and element

Star, Moon, Sun, Frost, Snow, Ember, Storm, Dawn, Dusk, Mist, Rain, Cloud, Flame, Silver, Gold, Shadow, Crystal, Aurora.

Column two: body, motion and feeling

wing, mane, hoof, heart, song, dance, fall, light, dust, whisper, bloom, chase, glow, drift, spark, crown, wish, veil.

Stormwing, Moonwhisper, Emberdrift, Frostbloom, Dawnchase, Mistcrown. The formula holds up. If a combination sounds slightly odd, swap the order: Whispermoon works as well as Moonwhisper.

Naming your unicorn in Flying Unicorn Simulator

If you play Flying Unicorn Simulator 2024, these names have somewhere to go. The game lets you customize a unicorn with its own wings, horn, saddle and accessories, give it a name, and save it to the My Unicorns page, so you can keep a whole stable of named, themed builds rather than overwriting one.

A practical approach: name each build after the map you fly it on. Something frost-themed for Frozen Heights and Snow Trails, something celestial for Sky Island and the Moon Map, and something fiery for your Dracorn. It makes the My Unicorns list readable at a glance when you are switching between them.

The game is free on iOS and Android, rated 4+, and the naming and customization features are part of the base game.
