names

Just curious what other people name their snakes.

mine is named AOD - angel of death :devilish: reason was when I first got him his favorite thing to do was bite, bite and bite. He has calmed down now thank god and doesnt bite me anymore... or he is just screwing with me and waiting for the right time for a good chomp when I dont expect it. :halohorn:

to the mice & rats he eats he is definitely the angel of death lol.

Thunder - Dinker normal
Orion - Pastel breeder
Bella - Pastel holdback
Sinatra - Blue eyed leucistic
Marge - Butter
Cleo - SD retic
Basil - SD retic
Houdini - male suri boa

And a butt load more that I cant come up with names for.

Past snakes were..
Archon - Albino burmese
Blitzkrieg - Columbian BCI
Bonnie & Clyde - Kenyan sand boas

Sherlock- normal male

The BP I have: Monty. Little did I know that a) Tons of pythons were named Monty b) "He" was in fact a "she", but I didn't feel like changing it.

Northern Pine Snake: Checkers, because of his white/black boxed pattern, and that he is very fast, and that he likes to check everything out (curiosity to the point of annoyance).

Boa Constrictor: Crush, most of the reasons obvious. The other reasons were his deep orange color (JimiSnakes salmon pastel), and the fact that I had replaced his humidity generator bottle with a 2L Crush bottle and it just struck me as a good name all around.

I use a couple different naming conventions.

I always wanted a "bigger" snake named Kitty, partly because it'd be funny. Therefore when I got my coastal carpet, that's the name that went to her. I hope to pair her up with a jaguar eventually and produce kittens :P

My other pets are named either after futurama characters (Morbo, Dr. Zoidberg, Edna, etc), because of identifying physical characteristics (Pongo the dalmation crested gecko, RG/Red Gecko, Sandy), or because of events (Accident).

My boys are Morris (aka. Mr. Nibbles), George, Floyd and Winston. My girls are Lois, Ursula, Shirley, Octavia, Glinda, Nancy and Mrs. Weasley.

Mostly I pick names that I find funny for some obscure reason or another. Though I figure Mr. Nibbles is pretty self explanatory.

I have Lemonade (albino), FedEx (het peid), Snow (pied), Bruce (mojave), Tax (lesser), Refund (lesser), Sunny (lemon pastel), Juliette (normal...and now 'Romeo'), Cleopatra (spider), Wilson (Bredli's), and Olivia (IJ carpet).

I didn't name most of them. My 5 year old son and 11 year old nephew claim that honor. lol. I named FedEx (because FedEx lost her during shipping...), Tax, and Refund. I rarely refer to any of them by their names except for Lemonade because she is my son's favorite.

As for the name 'Snow,' I actually have THREE animals in my care named 'Snow' currently- a python, a chicken, and a breeder rat. Apparently 5 year olds aren't original and if it is white or has white on it, there's a good chance it will get named 'Snow.'

I name mine after a Biblical theme. Things like Damascus, Abaddon, Chava, etc

I have a little bit of a battlestar galactica theme going on except for Donut and Eero. Eero is after Eero Saranin and Donut is just, well, Donut.

As you can see from my signature mine are all named from the movie Princess Monokoe. The only exception is my husbands bratty normal whom he calls Mystic, because of his odd markings.

Gale

Interesting names! Read each post, had a few chuckles along the way, feel like I've made a few friends and generally am bored right now waiting for the frozen pizza in the oven to get done. Oh yeah, names;

Charlotte - juvenile blonde desert tarantula
Humphrey - normal ball python (we use the term "gifted" around him actually)
Mr. Biggles or "Biggs" - Colombian boa (he'll answer to either name at the dinner bell)
Elvis - Kingsnake (when sexed if it turns out to be female, it's still Elvis, the King baby)
Gopher - red tailed boa
Mr. Snippy or "Snips" - blood python (one of Kara's boys and those who know bloods also know why I don't have to explain his name)

My Corn is Caesar i named him that just because his colors reminded me of him haha idk why


My Ball is named Sylvester after Sylvester and Tweety :)

Baby got named for two reasons, one, I figured that's what I would end up calling him anyway, and two, it stuck because he's such a momma's boy.

Spartacus the crested gecko got his name because the spikes made me think of a gladiator.

The three halloween moon crabs are named Lock, Shock and Barrel xD

My little girls name is Snakey Kafusu. But I call her Kafusu for short.
Kafusu means cuffs. And boy does she stand to it. XD She loves wrapping herself around my wrists. Haha. But she's an absolute sweet heart.
I did contemplate on Ormrikr, which means roughly "Great Serpent". So I think I'll use that name on the next snake I get (yes, I already want another).
But I stayed with Kafusu, because it was easy to pronounce, and it just sounds cool to. lol.

all greek and biblical, except bowser(nomral and belle( albino. gfs ideal) then we have promethous and soctates, did have a hades and persiphonie once, sold, i miss them also have beardies names, sully man, found it was WOman, and keely kiwee then a russian tort named dopy, and Water dragon, calypso

The BPs are Cu (short for Culebra) and Prospekt (as in Prospekt's March, an EP by my favorite band, Coldplay).

The BST is Sangre, the BCI is Zeezee (short for Zilveren Zalma, which is Dutch), and the rough scaled sand boa is Striker (totally random... I was in CA for 3 days with a couple of friends when I picked him up at an expo. I hadn't chosen a name, so one of my friends started calling him Striker because he is so mean. I guess it just stuck. :confused: ).

I go with movie characters, band members, artists that inspire me, and literary hero/heroines.

Carrie, Mae and Rosemary are my horror film girls, while Ash and Linda are my Evil Dead hommages.

Elizabeth, Jane, and Lydia are my Jane Austen girls.

I go with ethnic themes too... Xenia, Zsu Zsi, Magda, and Zoltan... and Rena, Shiera, Zimmerman... Rashid and Anais

Suzanne, Yvon, and Maya, are my artist friends.

Also have Allegra and Demetrio (enchi), Raymond and Rebecca (het albino), Marcel and Monic (het clowns), Violaine, Willow, and Hubert are the corns.

Alphonse is the JCP, and JD is the boa, Demonika is the King snake.

Some others are Melinda, Beatrice, Chloe and Mathilde, all named after family members.

Natasha, Naomi, Georgie Girl (Georgina), Ashley, Cassandra, Antoinette, Stella and for boys I have Prescott, Andre, Kevin, and more. :D

Bruce

And the beardies were Buddy and Kitty

Honey got her name because I'm too indecisive and that's what I kept calling her. Thank goodness she's a her :P (we had her sexed today) because I probably would've had to change her name to Optimus Prime (my 4yr old cousin came up with it :O ) because I never would have chosen anything. Any animals I get from here on out though are probably going to be named after Big Love and BSG characters. :D

Past names used:

Julius Squeezer & Ezekiel (easy kill)

my ball is called junior thought about renaming him when i got him but couldnt lol
the dogs are visa and jess

0.1 PASTEL- MEDUSA - GUARDIAN, PROTECTRESS, SERPENT GODDESS

0.1 PASTEL- YEMAYA- CELESTIAL MOTHER

1.0 SPIDER- AKHENATEN- BENEFICIAL TO ATON PHARAOH 18 DYNASTY EGYPT

0.1 NORMAL - NEFERTITI - GREAT ROYAL WIFE OF AKHENATEN

0.1 HET ALB. - CAUTION- HISSES LIKE ALLEY CAT AKA THE BLACK MAMBA

1.0 ALBINO - OSIRIS- CHEIF DEITY OF DEATH

0.1 PASTEL- ISIS - Mother of Life, but she was also known as the Crone of Death

0.1 HET ALB - OSHUN - Oshun they see her as Goddess of sensuality, but many people never get past this first impression. Oshun is the Goddess of Love


0.1 NORMAL - BLACK MADONNA-

Some claim that Black Madonnas derive from the Egyptian goddess Isis. The dark skin may echo an African archetypal mother figure. Professor Stephen Benko claims that early Christian pictures of a seated mother and child were influenced by images of Isis and Horus. He further asserts that the slashes on the cheek of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa represent the markings of the Eye of Horus.

0.1 Normal - Charlie
0.1 Het. Pied - Pie, or Potato

1.0 Pewter - Pete
1.0 Het. Pied - Punch
1.0 Dinker - Dinkus

Planning on getting more females soon, I try to go with easy to remember names. As the collection gets larger, the memory fails.

My snakes are named after poisonous plants...
Belladonna - 2yr old normal ball python
Castor - 6mo. hypo corn
Daytura - 6mo. amel stripe corn

On a side note, my ferrets are named after authors... Pratchett and Tamora

I named my girl Svetlana. A friend suggested it and I liked it a lot.

Pastel BP - Opera - I named her that because I wanted something elegant, and after it popped in my head it wouldn't go away.



Bullet -Apricot Pueblan Milksnake- Because this thing is mean and loves to bite and dart around. Everytime I go into his cage to get his water bowl he can sometimes be under it and I have to "beat the Bullet" Or the bullet bites me.


Ceaser- Striped Cali kingsnake- Really cool great personality snake. Probably my favorite out of my collection. His winning personality the perfect blend of tough and friendly made me name him Ceaser after my Hero Eric Carr's Song "Little Ceaser" of the 1989 KISS Album Hot in the Shade.

Very clever! Excellent names. (And if you mean Terry Pratchett and Tamora Pierce, those are two of my favorite authors!)

1.0 Mojave-Thor
0.1 Mojave-Rogue
0.1 Normal-Zatanna
1.0 Anery Corn-Marty

My only BP is a normal female named Sheva. I went all-out dork on that one. She's named after Chris Redfield's partner on Resident Evil 5. That, and his partner's from Africa, so it all works out! Hahah.

My Ball pythons are named after Marvel Comic characters.

Spider BP- Peter Parker, Parker for short.
Pastel BP- Mary Jayne Watson, M.J. for short.
Het Pied Male BP - Logan or Wolverine
Het Pied Female BP - Kitty Pride, Kitty for short.

My corn snakes are all NCIS characters.

Gibbs- male amel
Ziva- female classic
Jethro- male classic
Vance - male avalanche

My cats are Onyx the male Cornish Rex and Hot Foot the fat cat.

I suck at naming :tears:

That's why I haven't really name any of my snakes.

Normal Male - Charlie (we figured it was universal, so either way we could keep it)

Normal Female - Lucy (she came with that name)

Pastel Male - Superman Kevin (the fiance' wanted a strong name, and I said, "like what, Superman?". Then he said he wanted a Medieval name, and the first thing that came to mind were knights, and the letter K. All I could come up with was Kevin, so he's now Superman Kevin.

The cats are Rainie (I love weather in general), Nabisco (the Humane Society named him cuz he's huge and looks like he eats a lot of oreos), Rhett after Rhett Butler from Gone With The Wind and Diesel after the fiance's Duramax Diesel.

My BP's name is Chumley, a dorky tribute to Chum Lee from Pawn Stars

My MHD's names are Dragon (male) and Thundercat (female). Our original pair was Dragon and NightHawk but unfortunately NightHawk didn't make it :(

Reptar- ball python
sunny- corn snake
hurricane- brazilian rainbow boa

my sons norm ball.(supposedly het for albino) he named her Polly. ....i know i know ISN'T THAT A BIRD NAME?? he's 4! he' my son!he can name her what he wants!!:neener: hahaha jk

My bp names are
Pandora (normal Female) my first ball, literally opened pandoras box to the bp addiction :)
Jewels (normal Female)
Enkil (Bumblebee male)
Akasha (pastel Female
Loki (pinstripe Male)
and last but not least my ij carpet her name is malice

Most of my Ball Pythons have Shakespearean names, and the rest have a combination of literary & TV/movie names... it's just easier to stick with themes, especially now that I have 20 snakes. :D Here are their names:

BPs - Desdemona (Mona), Nerissa, Delilah, Rosalind, Orlando, Toby, Vincentio (Vinnie), Julius, and Dave.
Corns - Scout, Joxer, Wednesday, Betty, Eddie, Matilda, Coraline, and Dash.
Western Hognose - Charlotte
Jungle Carpet Python - Kipling
Stimson's Python - James

haha good idea for a topic...

naming was hard for me.. i wanted the perfect names.. original.. and such

Normal male- so i got Maubi from facebook.. i posted a satus saying 'Whats a good name for a snake" haha... my friend from St. Thomas had the only original one.. Maubi... and i liked it!

Pastel Male - Demetrius - Someone suggested Dimitri.. which i liked... but i finally decided to add an "s"... so that if he was being..."bad"... i could say, "Demetrius! STOP THAT!" Anyone know why thats significant? hahha

anyways.. there you go.

Cornflakes my normal female.
Sparta my red tail boa. Those are the only two snakes I have atm

I don't have my own bp yet, But eventually I want to get a male and name him either Oscar or Cairo. No real reason why.

i went with the name Taylor for my female BP. not sure why i liked it so much but i always thought it was a beautiful name so i gave it to a beautiful snake!
