Yet another naming thread...

So I have chosen names for all of my new snakes and the explanations are -

VPI Male - B-Dub was chosen because he is black and white, or B and W, or B-Dub. I liked this because Buffalo Wild Wings, or BWW, is my all-time favorite place to get wings, especially when I was in college, and I call it B-Dubs.

het VPI Female - Vanilla was chosen because she is the only ball that I have with a normal phenotype and vanilla is used to describe things that are plain. She does have a kick butt black back that is about 95% free of any pattern.

Hypo/Orange Ghost Female - Bella was chosen because there is a variety of Orange that is called Bellavida and Earth to Bella is a favorite Incubus song of mine.

Lemonback male - Einstein was chosen because the variety of lemon found for sale most often in grocery stores is called a Eureka lemon, and Eureka made me think of Einstein.

These names are in keeping with my naming method of using a twist on the morph name. My female Cinnie is named Nutmeg, another brown spice. My male Pastel is name Gypsos, the Greek word for gypsum, which is a mineral used in the making of pastel paints. My Spider is named Serine, which the primary protein used in silk making by spiders to wrap prey and egg sacs.

Does anyone else use a similar method for naming, or at least use the same method for all of their names? I know that all of LGrays' snakes have something to do with serpent or snake in their names.

Thats pretty interesting. I dont really name my snakes but I like to name my animals like they are people... But I like how you put some thought into the naming process. I dont really think outside the box like that. Maybe I should start...

Skade got her name because her previous owner likes to use Norse mythology. Skade is referred to as a "cold beauty". Skade was also a hunter. Fitting for her. But most of my animals, if I name them are named after mythology anyhow, so she would probably have wound up with another goddess name.

Ludo is a temporary name, after Ludo from Labyrinth. He's a big guy and I can't afford for him to stick around so he couldn't have one of the typical pet names for the household so I can't get as attached. LOL

My two mojave girls are named after rum: Bacardi and Malibue mojave reminded me of mojitos. I dont know what to call my pastave yet i want to keep the same theme going though.
I also have a spinner that my girlfriend named sandy because it reminded her of the color of beach sand

i named my normal female Zilla like snakezilla because she is getting big already at 932g

my Bumble bee male is named big hungry because he seems to have a big appetite.

my black pastel female is minnie. as in minnie mouse.

my ghost is named casper because he is really friendly.

and i still havent came up with a name for my cinny.

Snuggles for my male spider.... he likes to climb in my shirt

Lady for female pastel... she is very nice and docile

And working on female lesser name.... possibly caramel or cookie, shes a sweetie

Hmmm... Maybe you should have named your spider horn-dog instead! LOL

i've always named my snakes as if they were people. my little female carpet is called "mean helen jorgensen. lately i've an moved to an old school blues singer style as blues is my favourite music. my ball that recently passed was called "left foot louie" and my male pastel is called "crazy legs douglas"

my other pets names have been named as if they wee people in the past but as of late it seems to be getting more obscure. our leopard geckos are "meathook" "turtlepants" and "fruit bat". also we have a border collie called "charlie looselips scissorhands", an aussie shepherd called "peter lemonjello" and a cat called "nigel figgus"
