the client side
open monstertype.dat in your favorite hex editor and search for a text string for the pet you wish to change and replace it with the name you want it to be
ie: cntrl+f search [lulu] replace [lulu] with [notlulu]

From memory all monster names are obtained from cq_monstertype and monster.dat has no bearing at all on displayed names

would be annoying later if it wasnt the same in both though

It's odd because it's the only table that sends the text instead of using client side files :/

IIRC, monster.dat is purely used for odd cases, oversized mobs etc..
