Re: your snake's name?

I have a few favorites....

Cleopatra the purple sunfire retic was named by someone on anther forum. I call her Cleo for short.

Nunu my sunglow boa was named this because people kept referring to her as the new new snake since I had so many additions at the time.

Vera the black milk was named after Jaynes gun in Firefly.

Roy my albino chinese beauty was named after my favorite character in Fullmetal Alchemist.

Lucky my first boa was named that because I was 12 and damn lucky according to my mother to be getting something that was going to get so big.

Re: your snake's name?

I'm thinking some re-naming is going to be in order as my POS ex named most of mine.............but...my male lavender corn is affectionately called "Omnom" (I named him and my rubber boa) because that's what he does lol...my rubber boa is called "Mimizu" which is Japanese for earthworm, my snow stripe corn is "Kiyohime" which is a Japanese snake demon, my bloodred is "Kuraokami" which is a Japanese dragon, my western hognose is "Hogwort", and my ball python is "Nile" because they are an African species.

I personally am HORRIBLE at coming up with names...it took me a week to name my dog Lucy "Lucy" rather than calling her "little girl" lol. I'm having a hard time thinking of a name for my new little boa :O

Re: your snake's name?

My sister named her cat Nahla after the lion king with different spelling on purpose. I adopted her and have kept the Disney theme ever since.

Re: your snake's name?

Most of my snakes are named after gods, warriors, and cartoon characters.

Re: your snake's name?

Apollo after the sun god, because well he's orange red. Plus I know a big red horse also named Apollo.

Re: your snake's name?

I name mine based on their outstanding characteristics and what I think fits them at the time. It makes it a bit easier when I tell my wife about what one of them did etc.

Re: your snake's name?

Ghost because of her pink eyes and relation to Jon Snow in GOT. She's not white yet, but she'll be later.

Re: your snake's name?

All of ours were named by my daughters and as a result are all Disney characters.

Re: your snake's name?

My Saharan Sand Vipers are named Apep and Wadjet after Egyptian snake deities (with cute names). My false Water Cobras are Deedee and Joey after my favorite Ramones. My Gila Monster is named Feleena for Marty Robins.

Re: your snake's name?

My little boy usually has last say on pet names hence why we have a female cat called Ben (after Ben elf). He also named the snake after his favourite nursery teacher (Auntie Rachel) and our yet to be acquired dog is going to be called Marshall.

I'll have to be more firm when naming my new snakes as and when I get them...

Re: your snake's name?

Most of my animal names comes from hours of just looking through different and unique baby names and finding ones I like. There is no theme or anything, though the snakes I do want to breed, most of them were paired (2 S names, 2 J names etc). Only a few of my snakes were named after their colors (Rory--he is reddish), personalities (Sparky--he was a bit of a pain in the a**), and my favorite season (Winter--first snake I owned).
