I love this, lol!

My dogs name was Leo (short for Leonidas).
We rescued his brother from a friend who could no longer care for him, he had already been named Spartacus (funny coincidence right?).
We adopted my Great Dane from my fiance's grandfather after he passed.
I have four jones armidillo lizards I just call the Titans.
And my breeding pair of BP's I just bought are named Hades and Persephone.
I have a huge colony of African Cichlids, to many to name. So I just call them all my little bastards.

Mr.Biggles is from Austin Powers.
Godfrey is from the 1940s movie My Man Godfrey.
Skelator originally came from the dog on the movie 50/50 but most people assume its He-Man so I just go with that.
Gir is from Invader Zim.
Star is Firestar after my dads revolver.
My mom named her corn snake Abby because she"s a normal so now she's "Abby Normal"

Bacardi, Corona, Tequila, Skyy, Midori, Mojito, Gin, Kahlua, Stoley, Amaretto and Cosmo. :gj: Kinda self explanatory. My wife's snakes all have random names.

I think I am going to start doing this with all the (snake) offspring I produce! I use this in general, everyday conversation (telling people reference numbers) and everyone assumes I was in the military. But no! My dad was a pilot and this is what they use for referencing other planes in the area (by their tail numbers). What a great idea!

I named my Leucistic Texas Rat snake Luna in reference with the moon. The moon glows a bright white, and so shall my snake when she hits adulthood. :gj:

Oh wow, an explosion of replies since I posted haha.

Just finished reading them all, and gotta say... Love all the names I see so far!

Other than herps, I also have two Betta fish - Neptune and Ghost. Neptune got his name due to how large he is and his bright blue and green coloring. He definitely reminded me of a mini sea god. As for ghost, he is albino and looks almost translucent. I can see through his fins and the name just seemed to suit him so well.

I also have a rather portly wiener dog named Rusty. I was three when I named him, mainly because that's what color he was haha.

well basically i named him Azrael after archangel of death.the name has been with me since i was 15 and as he arrived to me i noticed his designs and said to my wife thats him.. Azrael

these r my buddy's at home
baby map turtle=snappy
my american rednose pitbull=diamond
my emperor scorpion=damien
my miami corn snake =zeus
and of course my normal bp=azrael

I havent yet purchased my snake, but I will be naming it either Mozzy or Mrs Suit. These names are inspired by the tv show White Collar, which I am obsessed with!!!
