How do you name your animals?

The tree pythons would be named after famous composers, like Bach, Vivaldi, or Mozart. It would seem adequate for the rattlesnakes to be named after rock icons, like Jagger, Presley, or Berry. And let's not forget about the mambas, who should probably receive names like Dahmer, Bundy, and Gacy...

But instead of all that, my animals just receive boring ID numbers.

The upside is that I can actually remember those IDs...

A good Excel program, or less so an Access-like program. Then you just link the nickname with the ID number. :P

I can understand not naming all your animals, though, you've got a nice handful.
