It shouldn't matter what your friends think of Oscar's name, as long as you like it, that's all that should matter. :)

Unless of course you also hate the name Oscar, lol

11-11-12, 06:48 PM

my parents dont like the name either though. they have both resorted to calling him snakey

promdom

11-11-12, 06:49 PM

i agree with gungirl. but if you wanna change it i like looking at names that have to do with where the reptile came from in the world. my greek tortoise - hermes (greek god for travel and commerce), when i had my IJ carpet - darwin. things like that. check out some cool african names from native cultures things like that

My grandpa once had a fish named Oscar, I like that name.

If you don't like Oscar, name him Felix..................

There is a reason why i picked that name, i'll see if anyone can figure it out:D

oscar is cute but i also care about others imput, hence the reason i am looking for a different name

Staying on greek terms, because of his (assuming gender based off of previous name Oscar) bright colors, you could name him Helios, the Greek sun god.

I pick mostly really weird names because I like them, and people can suck it. ;)Staying on greek terms, because of his (assuming gender based off of previous name Oscar) bright colors, you could name him Helios, the Greek sun god.I love that name. If my leo were male, I'd name her that.

Never let your significant other name a snake, otherwise he ends up calling your wonderfully sweet boa "Jerry Rice" >:C

oscar rocks. keep the name, if your friends give you beef tell them you dont nag their mom for giving them crappy names :P

(i realize that most of you also agree with the name, but i dont know any of you in person so i dont hear very much crap from all of you)Dude, you're gonna spend your entire life hearing crap from people because they don't like one thing or another. You better get used to it or buy some earplugs.

Personally, I'd say if you like the name, the heck with everyone else. When they get their OWN snake they can name it whatever they want. (And I would not hesitate to tell them that either if they were my friends and family ... each and every time they complain about it. Eventually it will get through all but the thickest heads that you will name your pets as you wish.)

im changing the name and im looking for suggestions. its not that hard!Do you have any idea how many millions upon millions of names are out there? Just do a Google search for "snake names" or something, or come up with something more specific than "a name," like a category that we can work with.

Naming a reptile has nothing to do with Experience.. Seeing as your friends and family are making you change its name. Ask them what you should name it, :O_o: They are the ones in control not us.

EmbraceCalamity

11-15-12, 08:22 PM

oh. my. god. its my choice!Then make the choice and stop bitching at us for not saying what you want to hear. And how does a person's experience have any effect on a name suggestion? Again, millions upon millions of names out there.

~Maggot

Wildside

11-15-12, 08:23 PM

Actually the appropriate name would be Lolrage but I highly doubt that the friends with higher authority will approve. I mean really have you guys heard "lol" pronounced in real life?

DragonsEye

11-15-12, 09:57 PM

oh. my. god. its my choice!

*sigh* Apparently it isn't since you clearly "have to have" their approval. (Otherwise, you would stick with the perfectly good name you already came up with and would tell them to "zip it" and worry about naming their own animals.)

As has been mentioned, naming a pet -- like naming a child or practically anything for that matter -- has nothing to do with experience and everything to do with personal tastes.

Continuity.. When I remove a comment, I remove the reactions to said comment with it, or the reaction posts make no sense, as they are responding to something that is not there.

But why did you remove my comment and not the pedo comment?

Wayne tends to let it ride and Alessia is more hands on. So some things are allowed and then suddenly changed.
Actually, most (if not all) decisions as to how we handle reported posts and heated debates etc etc, we discuss together and agree on a solution. Wayne and I are on the same page. Wayne is the one who did the actual pruning of this thread though. ;)

Sometimes we miss things. Report the post and we'll take care of it.

The pedo comments following my initial comment were removed. I just don't think my comment should've been removed.

Where is my post?

I went back and found I did a real sloppy job cleaning this up, your innocent post is restored, and a heap others removed.

Sorry about the mishap.

It's no problem. I honestly wouldn't have cared if you just told me to "gfy" but kudos for not doing that, makes you a good overlord ;)
