Nameology Thread

Yes, that is a Boondock Saints reference!

What are the names of your animals and how did you come up with the names?

I like to name my animals something that goes back to what they are either as a species or a morph.

Nutmeg - Female Cinnamon - Another brown spice.

Serine - Female Spider - Serine is the prmary amino acid found in the silk of spider's that is used for wrapping egg sacs, wrapping prey and constructing web attachment lines.

Gypsos - Male Pastel - Gypsos is the Greek word for gypsum, which is a mineral that can be used in mixing pastel colored paints.

I'm thinking about naming the male VPI axanthic that I'm getting when I get home Oreo (black and white, get it?). Don't know what I'm going to name the female fire that I'm getting.

So how about everyone else?

Bacardi, Corona, Skyy, Gin, Tequila, Cosmo, Amaretto, Stoley, Kahlua, Midori.... The list goes on and on. As you can tell, I name my snakes (the ones that have names) after booze. Why not name one love after the other? I've been considering naming all the male snakes from here on out after Hall of Famers though.

"is it dead?" yes that's a boondocks saints reference as well.
Hypo-Yoda, it's greenish and I like star wars
Lesser- Antilles, lesser Antilles islands
BCI- Bob the boa. Actually my son named him after sponge bob.
Mojave-Mackenzie, its my daughters middle name and has a nice ring to it Mackenzie the mojave.
Spider- wobz.....spider wobble
Albino boa- Princess.....because she's my princess damn it!
Normal- Gator, after one of my favorite will Ferrell characters.
The rest don't have names .....I'll have to come up with something for my Pastel tho.

I have always enjoyed Norse mythology, so I named mine Loki (Although everyone will think it was after the Avengers :( (Great movie though))

He is a trickster and mischievous, kind of like my BP.

Vimes (bp)- aka Commander Samuel Vimes, the badass leader of the Ankh-Morpork police force in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett
Mort (crested gecko)- also a character from Discworld
Mr. Darcy (bp)- from Pride and Prejudice, because I fell in love with a boy when I wasn't expecting it
Pippin (dwarf hamster)- from Lord of the Rings, because Pippin the hobbit is tiny like Pippin the hamster
Saphira (leopard gecko)- from the Inheritance cycle, a super cool dragon that I always pictured having eyes like my girl
Albus (syrian hamster)- aka Albus Dumbledore.. my sister named him :rolleyes:
Andariel (tarantula)- the first Lesser Evil you fight in Diablo 2

Names are fun :taz:

I prefer to name my snakes after gods, heros, constellations, and major literature characters.

Big names for little snakes!!!

0.1 Normal- Indy bc i bought her the day that the 4th indiana jones movie came out
0.1 Cinnamon and 0.1 Pastel- Bella and Chick. (Suggested by Rob^^^). Named after the Pats head coach bill Belichick.
1.0 Cinnamon- Chumlee, named after the fat dude that always is talking about food in the show Pawn Stars. My cinny boy is a piggy so the name fits.
1.0 Fire- Ifrit- Named after a fire god in Final Fantasy. The person i bought him from said that was his name so i decided to keep it since im bad with names lol

Hopefully I'll be picking up a Legless Lizard this summer and I'm naming it Legolas :D And my pinstripe I'm getting in 3 weeks will possibly be Arwen.... I love me some LOTR :cool:

I like to use names from Roman and Greek mythology. I'm currently running through the planets, which were all named for gods anyway. I named my latest addition, Jupiter. My next one will be named Saturn if it's a Pinstripe combo or Pluto if it's a Pied combo.

I realize Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but it was a planet for most of my life, so I still count it:D
