Hi, everyone!

I'm an animal lover and a student of names. Combining my two loves, I'm curious - what are the names of your animals? I did a search for a similar thread and didn't see one :) I hope this isn't redundant for you guys!

My snakes: [current] Jinx (BP), Riddle (BRB), [past] Nellie (Corn), Tallulah (Corn), and Nanashi (Eastern Milk Snake).

My other animals (past and current): (dogs) Dakota, Bo, Milo, Ruby, (turtles) Turtle, Hercules, Moss, (parakeet, cockatiels, and a conure) Gordie, Cinnamon, Spike, Tango, (mice) Rusty, Rose, Daisy, Sarah, Todd, (hedgehog) Riff-Raff.

Lay 'em on me! ;)

My snakes' names are in my signature. I'm getting another bull snake soon so I'll be adding one more serpent. I also have a cat named Isis.

Currently I only have three animals. I'm graduating from college this year, so I'm waiting for that before getting any more. But I have Figment, my boa (female) and my two ferrets, Gadget (male) and Sonic (female, and named for the screwdriver, not the hedgehog).

I have had way too many animals in the past to list their names.

Hi! I'm new here. I recently acquired a red tail boa, about two years old. I named him Rumplestiltskin after one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite TV shows, Once Upon a Time.

In our house we also have two cats, Dely and Patches, and two dogs, Chika and Daisy, and a bunny, Mochi, all named by my kids. (don't worry, the bunny and snake are nowhere near each other lol)

The dogs have random names, and the Reptiles are all named after serial killers. Don't ask why, cause I'm not sure haha.

My 2 rats are named after fictional serial killers, Dexter and Kira. Idk why.
My snakes i used to not give names at all.. But since nobody (friends/family) knew which one i was talking about without having to give unnecessarily accurate descriptions, i just gave in and named them. I like Matching names, like Renji and Rukia. (both from same show and the characters even match the animals in color) Still unsure what i would name Xena's future mate though, perhaps Hercules or Ares.. My dog is named Senna, because i love that name and we had to find a sound she would respond to (we did not know her name)

My dog's name is Sid and I'm still trying to come up with a name for the Costa Rican Boa that I'm getting tomorrow. Maybe Vince.

Many of my pets came with names and we tend to leave them.

Former pets:
Beau Justice - horse (Came with the name. Tennessee Walker, hence the...very southern name)
Chance - dog (Brittany-came with the name)
Kevin - cat (I don't even know, I was 14)
Vesta - cat (came with the name Venus, which caused my BIL to immediately say "rhymes with *****!" so she got another goddess name instead...damn it Mat)

I'm pretty sure I accidentally stuck my only current pet, the MBK, with the name Noodle. I didn't INTEND to stick him with a goofy name, but there you go. Noodle.
