50 best names for Minecraft pets

Minecraft has a wide variety of mobs, ranging from hostile mobs that will attack the player at first sight to others who are passive and will not attack unless provoked. Many of the mobs are tameable, meaning that players can keep them as pets. Every pet in Minecraft deserves a great name, and so we have assorted 50 great names that are unique and fit the animal's personality.
