Herp Names

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

RIKKI:

I name all my pets and the collection, I feel it gets to to see each as an individual and more connected to each. My sound corny but each animal I care for actually does get individual time, care, and respect.

I name all my animals from old culture and mythical legends and Gods.

Egyptian
Roman
Norse
Greek
Incan
Mayan
Chinese

Are just some I look up in google, I just type in Roman Gods, get a list read the details and see which animals best deserves that name.

For the most part, we tend to get our animals from people who no longer can keep them, so they're generally already named. Our male iguana was named "Acid" by the previous owner, but we changed it to "Sid"......close to the original, but not as dumb.

Everone has a name though. Just picked up a baby beardie today at the show, named it "Quizzno" because thats where we went to eat after the show.

My guys do. I try to do some type of theme. Like my balls are called Adam and Eve and my Columbian is called Cartell.

all mine are named.. i want them to have names but ive only come up with 2 so far.. so my g-friend comes up with the rest.. and it takes a long time.. shell ryme off like 100 names then i say,"what was that one i liked again" and she has to go through them again..

my leos are Mad Max cause she is physcotic and tiny tim cause she is smaller than max.. and yes i know there boys names but i like them..

my veiled is Loghan or Logan or something.... i only pick out a name i dont spell it. but he usually get called Mr. Pissy Face..

my cent. amer. banded gecko is Gilbert, my g-friend's frient named it.. i dont know why but it kind of suits him.

and i haven picked a name for my new beardie yet.. but im thinking Auron, Tidus or Wakka if male, and Yuna, Lulu, or rikku if female.. there charcters from one of my favorate games...

but all mine usually get called little buddy or little man or something along that line

Some of ours are named, others aren't.. we've tried naming a lot of them, but sometime the names just don't take.

one is officially named "Kara's Neighbour" because she sits next to Kara on the shelf. My male Sav is named Fluffy, but the female is just refered to as "the female sav". Others are named after temperment. I've got a "fire", "grumpy", "squish", and "stinky". The ones that had names when we got them kept the names. I'd say 1/2 of ours are named and the other half aren't.

I also agree with chas*e, there are a few that occasionally get called something with a profanity or two thrown in.

I name all my animals also. I still remember my first pair of leopard geckos. I named them "Shagme" and "Shagwell" because that's what I wanted them to do!

[LISA127]

All my pets are named. I name my reptiles just because I like to. My dog and cats have names because they are intelligent and social animals that respond to their names. And because they are important to me...my fur babies.

I had a friend who had 2 chickens when she was a little girl and she named them Shake & Bake...which later she found out they became!!!

[kpugh]

I too name all my pets - herps and otherwise. Can't say they're real original though - my redfoot tortoise is Red, and my tarantula is Spidey, and I had a cat named Mouse...sad...but we used to have piles of critters, and picking names gets hard...I usually use one of the baby name websites now...I like the ones where you can enter a meaning and it gives you a list of names from around the world that have that meaning...works for me 'cause I'm just not creative. For example, my newest cat is orange...and got the name Flynn off a website 'cause it means orange haired one...

[Brock]

I name most of mine from games I play:

Cenarius is my male veiled chameleon, Cenarius is the demi-god of the forest in Warcraft.

Quel'Thalas is my snake, a region of undead territory in Warcraft.

Elune is one of my blizzard leopard geckos, the goddess of the moon for the Night Elves. etc etc.

I name all my animals. It takes me some time. I really like to get to know them first - I'm kinda fussy about picking something that fits. I also agree with Marisa, it's a lot easier to tell somebody to feed 'Horatio', than to be quoting #'s.

I get my names from books, movies, t.v. and my son helps with some - he's really into Lord of the Rings and Warcraft etc., so knows a lot of the greek mythological names etc. - he's recently named a blood male dragon Imotep the Pharoah.

Only a few of my reptiles are named and when they are named it's because of certian traits they possess. We have Spaz, Mr. Snow, Lumpy, and Tuna (she only ate when her pinkies were scented with tuna juice), and Stumpy (the 3 legged bearded dragon). The rest just have numbers. When i talk to my bf about any particular snake we usually just refer to them my morph, size and sex.

[exotic_66]

All my animals are named .... i think they deserve names too my ball python is named Eeyore (from winnie the pooh)
