Settling on a name

An adult male "Plasma" (lavender blood-red) corn snake is due to arrive in a week, or so. Like many unnaturally pale snakes, he has an otherworldly look to him. The novel Moby :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: comes to mind, but I'm not sure I care for most of those names - neither the whale himself, nor the character, Ahab, nor the name of the author. Queequeg... no. Ishmael... no. I do like the name Starbuck - even if it is now indelibley (spell??) associated with that *#^&$* coffee shop.

There is also the name, Graham. I am a fan of Graham Potter's bonsai, and a HUGE fan of Graham Hancock's books. Both have a bit of a cosmic bent. There is also the author Graham Greene, who got the stifileing (spell??), and clonthic, but mesmerising air of Mexico just right. (Catherine Anne Porter got it right too; the author of Bless Me Ultima got it right, albeit in a different style. D.H. Laurence (spell??) tried a little to hard, and missed with, Quetzoquatil The Feathered Serpent. ((spell?)) ) So, Graham might be a good name.

I also like the name Daniel, after the Elton John song. For that matter, Elton, would make a good name too.

Just some late night thoughts on the matter.

Hey with a name like Elton he better be real Flashy! :D

I do like the name.

You could name him Sagan, after Carl Sagan. Otherworldly could also lead you into a mythological bent, which is why my Bansidhe got his name (even though he's not a she). You could also go for star names, like Rigel the blue supergiant in the orion constellation.

I thought of Sagan too.
Rigel is a good name. Maybe should be saved for a BP, as a play on the Royal name? I'm assuming this is pronounced "reegal."
Orion would work well, also.

Thanks.:)

I had assumed that it was pronounced "rye-jel" like the character from Farscape.
