Snake names

We name our pets and were wondering how many of you do the same. Here's the names and explainations:

2008 Bell Pastel Female (our first snake!)
Name: Dora Belle
Explaination: My wife wanted to name her "Dora the Explorer" because she is always in motion when she's out. I wanted to name her "Belle" because I thought she was very pretty (i.e. southern belle) and because she is from the Bell line. We compromised and came up with Dora Belle. (also when a new visitor comes to the door, they ring the door bell, and since she was our first, she would be the new visitor!)

2009 Spider Male
Name: Peter Parker
Explaination: aka spider man (my wife has a sense of humor)

2009 100% Het Pied Female
Name: Pretty Penny
Explaination: She has beautiful copper/bronze colors on her sides, and her babies will hopefully produce some "pretty pennies"!

2009 Graziani Pastel Female
Name: Lucciola
Explaination: Since "Graziani" is Italian, Pastel is a bright color, and she is shaped (a little) like a worm, the Italian word for "glow worm" is Lucciola! My wife worked on this name for D-A-Y-S!!

Are we nuts?:rolleye2:

I've also got 2 more poss het clowns with no names, two dinker females with no names, Joliff Tiger female, and a YB female with no name yet, and another possible phantom/mystic female with no name yet.

Aspen -- my first snake (normal BP, female)
Franky -- striped normal female, she went though like 5 names before i found one that "fit"
Isis -- female spider
Icharis - male pastel
Prestor -- female integrate carpet python, her full name is Lady Prestor from World of Warcraft (for those of you who dont know the game, Prestor is actually the black dragon Onyxia)
Dragon -- my female 66% het joliff snow who really is a dragon..she likes to bite me every time :/ sometimes i think shes got a treasure chest that she guards that only she can see, and she must stop me from getting into her tub at all times.
and one more who needs a name... *<3* (pics and stuff coming soon for him)

I haven't been able to post pictures of our second BP, so I won't tell about "it's" name yet ;)

My Lemon Pastel was named Snickets after the books A Series of Unfortunate Events. The character is Lemoney Snickets, and that's how she got her name :) I wanted to do something with Lemons, cuz I absolutely LOVE anything lemon, so we stuck with that.

The only ones here without a name are those for sale. ;)

Patriot is so named because we got him/her a few days before July 4th. I wanted to name my first snake "Pretzel" after a BP named "Mrs. Pretzel" that captured our hearts a few years ago, but "Patriot" was so perfect, so "Patriot" it is. Named by our 9yo. :)

Hershey is one of the POss Het G Stripe (I went with a chocolate theme for those girls ;))

I love the name morgan (I guess when I get a male I will name him Merlin ;))

Well I have ....

Elizabeth Isabella Bell...my son's normal BP that he got for his B-day from his grandma....the first thing he said when he saw her was Elizabeth...you are so beautiful...so the name stuck.

He use to have a corn snake named kicker...(great sense of humor that child) Unfortunately it got out at his fathers house....and was never found. He STILL talks about that snake. (stupid drunk girls should not be allowed to play with snakes)!! ugh...don't get me started...


Henry Reptar Bell is our Bee. My daughter named him and depending on what child you talk to it is either Henry Reptar or Reptar Henry. What ever...my hubby calls him King Henry.

Pickles. NAmely because the first time I saw him (was massively afraid of snakes before that) he was put on my shoulders and he laid there for about one second. then he decided to leave. I was standing up. After he hit the floor, he just looked up at me and I would like to believe his thought process was a little like: Hey...youkno....dawas a drop......yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh....is....iscold....pick me up.....you knoooow?

And I thought it sounded like pickles the drummer off of metalocalypse. Yes, I recognize my slight insanity. :oops:

So far all of mine have names, but I might have to give up if the collection gets huge. ;) I decided to go with a theme for the BPs, just to make things easier... all but Delilah (she was the first) are named after Shakespearean characters, which seemed appropriate since I'm a librarian. He also used some beautiful Italian & Latin names, which gave me a lot of good ones to use. Here they are:

Delilah (normal) - Only non-Shakespeare name, picked because of the meaning, "dark beauty" in Swahili - seeing as she's dark, beautiful and of African descent.

Toby (pastel) - At first I thought of going with a Hebrew Biblical theme, and found Tobias in a list of bible names. Then I switched to the Shakespeare theme, and this name happened to be on that list too (from Twelfth Night). Perfect!

Desdemona aka "Mona" (normal) - For some reason she looked like a Mona, the first time I laid eyes on her. Desdemona is from Othello, which also happens to be my favorite Shakespeare play.

Rosalind & Orlando (het albino pair) - Since I bought them as a pair to breed, I picked the Shakespearean lovers from As You Like It.

Pedro (Mojave) - I wanted a Spanish name for him, and "Don" Pedro is a character from Much Ado about Nothing.

Vincentio aka "Vinnie" (spider) - My roommate actually said he looked like a Vinnie, the first time I showed her his picture (from the breeder). There's a character named Vincentio in Measure for Measure, so I went with that. :gj:

Sunny (SHTCT Leopard Gecko) - She's not a BP, but I'll include her anyway... since she's a super hypo tangerine carrot tail, I immediately thought of bunny rabbits. I had a toy bunny growing up named Sunny, which also matched her orange sun-like pattern.

Sahara (LV Albino leo) - My other gecko, who was just adopted by my roommate when I discovered she was a HE. :D I originally named "her" after the Las Vegas Sahara Hotel, since the morph is called Las Vegas Albino.

And just so the mammals don't feel left out...

Rudy Valentino, dog (40lb mutt) - I adopted him 2 weeks before Valentine's Day, and he charmed me with his big brown eyes... I thought of "Rudolph Valentino" while holding him at the pound, which combined those two thoughts perfectly.

Cyrus, cat - Since he's a Persian who thinks he's king of this castle, I named him after the Persian King "Cyrus the Great" (559 BC-530 BC). Another bonus is that I'm Jewish, and this king released us from slavery under his reign. :gj:

Bindi, cat - She's a little black & white tuxedo cat, and has this perfect bindi-like white mark on her forehead... at the time an Indian woman was working for me (at the library - where I actually found the cat living outside), and she suggested either Bindi or Shanti. She has NO idea what her name is, though, and only responds to Kitty. :D

I stick with famous leaders or foreign words for royalty, "royal" pythons...

I thought of going with that theme (royalty), but liked the sound of Shakespearean names better... royalty/leaders is a great theme, though!

I dont have any names in stone yet... but for my normal female I kinda want to name her sheep. She has a mark on her sides that reminds me of a sheep. You can only really see it from the side, the part thats the ear actually goes all the way across the back so it doesnt look like a real sheep. But its good enough for me

Its the best thing ive come up yet.

or " ! " because she has a mark on her back of one. lol. idk how id say it though. "Exclamation point/mark!" - or maybe just the :O expression. No verbal name. The pastel that I should be getting by the end of the week I already have a name picked out I kinda want it to be sunshine. cause shes nice and yellow. :banana:
