I'm not sure of the word for it) of a name like that, since most people don't value normals as much as the other morphs.

She's pretty. How about Sunrise? Maybe naming her after an orange or yellow flower like Peony or Black-eyed Susan?

Brickle. That's amazing. XD Bubbles is killing me too!

I personally love taking historical names! From Plato over Queen Victoria to Mozart, it's fun to do ;)

Ya i like the idea of historical names or royalty since they are royal pythons

There's also something hilariously ridiculous about naming a shy, retiring, and harmless little creature after tyrannical or bellicose historical figures. Napoleon, Alexander, Genghis, Caesar anyone? Of course there's always Julius Squeezer.

Although since it's a female, your powerful aristocracy choices get more limited. Eleanor of Aquitaine, Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, Elizabeth I, Victoria, Marie Antoinette, etc.

For historical classical composers and musicians, there's Anna Magdalena Bach, Anna Amalia von Preußen, Barbara Strozzi, Clara Schumann, Elisabeth-Claude Jaquet de la Guerre, Hildegard von Bingen, Marie de France, Francesca Caccini. Some of those were nobility, too.
