Candy Mountain, Charlie, Candy Mountain!

Stormblade Blooddrinker, which is actually a bad Common translation of the Sylvan "He Likes to Sleep in Grassy Pastures During the Rain and Live Off of Sap."

I remember the Piers Anthony book series: apprentice adept there was something to do with battling wits with a unicorn, but i cannot remember the name of it.

I have no clue. I picked up the first book in the series right before I got tired of piers anthony and never read it.

Thankfully you are not. Asking for a name of a unicorn from Xanth cause then it would have a horrible horrible pun attached... and a bunch of creepy men chasing after teenaged girls while asking them what color underwear they wear.


As far as unicorn names go, here are my suggestions.

Silver
Sun Beam
Moon Beam
Thunder
Moon star
Papoose
Barbaro
Rocinante
Sampson
Incitatus
Gold Dust Glitter
Twilight sparkle
Rainbow sparkle

In fact anything with Sparkle, glitter or beam in it. Hmm... Sparkle Glitter Beam !

Nicely done. (Must wait 24 hours . . .)

Kids like to champion an underdog, so I think this unicorn possibly being the slowest and nicknamed "Pokey" by the other unicorns works on one level (it also might give some background and a reason why this particular unicorn forsakes other unicorns to be with the kids' PCs), while the name having a double meaning works on a second level. Plus, kids love silly puns.

Use donkeyhorse syndrome to your advantage-- and teach vocabulary while you're at it!
Here's a quick random unicorn name generator, though it seems to skew male. Maybe swap out "beard" for "locks" for the lady unicorns.

Roll 1d8 four times:

d8  (1st)     (2nd)     "THE"    (3rd)          (4th)

1   Silver     hoof               Dark          breaker
2   Wind       beard              Fiend         slasher
3   Moon       mane               Fear          slayer
4   Gold       withers            Sorrow        ender
5   White      horn               Woe           sunderer
6   Light      leg                Ruin          crusher

Oh, but be careful when searching for an image of a unicorn horn. You might get this:
