Nameology Thread

Blaine- he's a normal ball python, and my first snake ever. I named him after a character on Glee (yes, the show about showchoir and dancing). I think hes a sweetheart and totally fits his name :)

My first BP was named Nero - Since it was a regal name (going off of the Royal Python Name)

...And since it was Roman so it kinda reminded me of Cleopatra, who was fabled to wear a BP about her wrist. (I know they weren't directly related or anything, but I liked Nero better than something such as Mark Antony or Julius, etc)

1.0 pinstripe-Cupid because the whole top of his head is a heart
1.0 pastel-Charmer because he puts on his little adorable hold me charm and I cant resist
1.0 ghost-Casper...he's just a friendly ghost lol
1.0 black pastel-Screamer because his colors just pop out at you
0.1 GIANT normal-Abby because the previous owner named her that and she was his first ball python
0.1 normal-Wild One since she is the one who will let you pet her but hiss when you pick her up
I used to name my balls after Indian names like Ahalya meaning she who is beautiful but ran out of words I knew...lol

My first one I named Reggie, for Python Regius. After that I've gone with my favorite female names from sci-fi for my girls, and my girlfriend seems to end up naming my males. Hence: Stormy "cause he's kinda grey" for my male mojave, Lemmy "He's yellow like a lemon" for one of my Pastels.
for my females:
Zoey, River, and Kaley: from Firefly
Aeon: from Aeon Flux
Marry: Marry Gay Potter from The Forever War. my favorite book
Leela and Amy: from Futurama
Sil: from Species

We've been naming ours based on personality traits they show within the first day or two - we'll normally hold off on definitely naming until we feel like we've settled on an appropriate name.

Therefore...

0.0.1 Normal - Houdini - We got him from a pet store, and I fell for him when he played peek-a-boo with me for about 5 minutes, and then did everything in his power to escape from the cage. And then from everywhere we've put him since. Therefore, he's our little escape artist!

1.0 Bumblebee - Recon - He's very skittish so far, but what he'll do is poke his head out of his hide, look around, go back in. Poke out a bit farther, go back in. Poke the first third of his body out, hover in mid air, go back in. Make a lap of the tank, switch hides, and hide for a few hours. Rinse and repeat. He likes to recon his tank.

0.1 Normal - Prada - She's a 2129 gram adult we picked up at Repticon CenTex this weekend, and while I ran back inside to ask a question and use the restroom before we headed back to Dallas, Jarred and a friend took her out in the parking lot to give her a chance to get some fresh air before being in a pillow case for 3 hours. Jarred handed her to me while we were getting in the car, and she immediately wrapped her tail around the strap of my designer purse and refused to let go of it - she apparently wanted a purse of her own. :P Therefore, she got a designer purse brand as a name (and because Jarred didn't find Coach acceptable for a girl).

I named my female normal bp Gypsy.
Honestly for no other reason then i think its a pretty name for a pretty snake.

Long story short I bought my female pastel in 2005 we named her Twilight and I would show her to everyone and then then the vampire crazy hit....long story short all of our snakes are named after Twilight characters because we got so Sick and Tired of telling people she wasnt named after the book/movie that we just gave in!!

I named my snake Gemma after Sons of Anarchy. I found it pretty befitting.

Leviticus - is the third book of the Hebrew Bible and my third ball python.

Love it when old threads get resurrected.

I'm not too clever in the naming department so I went with Greek mythology for most of the names.
Fire = Hestia
Coral Glow = Kraken
Mojave = Athena
Butter =Dionysus
Super Pastel = Asteria
Enchi = Hera
Spider = Morpheus (from the Matrix, my first morph so I wanted something with morph in the name)
Normal = Ekans (Pokemon snake character or Snake backwards, my 8yo son named it)
