I'm so fickle with names! I originally liked the name Ivrina for my new female ivory BP. But now it's just...uhg...
So, I have decided to start a hunt for her 'new' name!
I am open to suggestionsbut am looking for slightly short, softer names. Extra points if your name has a meaning!
So far I have found 3 names I kinda like. All are African.
Amara (grace)
Sanaa (art)
Zuri (beauty)
What are your thoughts?

Here's some pics for inspiration. I know she's small, and most likely will grow out of her colors, but she has alot of pink and purple under tones. =)

To be honest I really like Irvina! It's something deifferent and original :D
But yeah, I know that pain, my blizzard corn female still is called just "white"...

Yeah lol.
I couldn't decide on a name for my male hognose, and just called him "the hognose" and my mom, who hates the snake, felt he needed a name since I'd had him for months, and when I told her I couldn't decide, she decreed his name is now Horus. Who am I to argue? Lol
So now I have Horus and Emma hognose. Ironically, mom also named Calypso! Lol. She's way better at naming than I am. But hey...I named Moko lol

Fluffy.. because why not?
I was looking at names for my sisters iguana and I found one I like... I think she would be good as Bliss idk. I am usually bad with naming. :/ good luck with your name hunt:)

Oooh! Artemiss is pretty cool! Wasn't that a greek god of something? I used to know my greek mythology so much better x.x like...goddess of the night or something I think....

Is there a theme or trend to anything you have already? All mine are obscure star wars refrences. Its nice because I'll never run out of names.
Did you want to stick with the African theme? If so I'm thinking the african word for pearl. not sure what the word is but it would suit her.

She is beautiful so Zuri would be a befitting name. Nuru (filled with light) is another nice African female name.

I actually had Nuru on my original list but found it too close tu Nuro which is a bit freaky to me lol.
Might wanna find out what the african name for pearl is. Or perhaps other languages as well.
No themes or trends exactly except that I don't like naming after food or famous people if I can help it. Moko was spawned from the fact when I got him he looked like a mochachino, which is a food, and also too long lol. So it got shortened to Moko. =)

See what pearl translates too. It could be a cool option.

You could name her Ariadne after the Minoan snake Goddess, or perhaps Gaia who was the mother of the Python goddess that Apollo killed in order to get the oracle.
