Naming my ball python

So i just got my first ball python today and i am having trouble thinking of a name. She is a female and is a pastel orange ghost morph, thanks.

naming is so fun/stressful! i actually have names in mind that influence the snakes i look for! (rather than vice-versa as it should be)

i looked up pictures of her morph and am thinking Orangina, Gina for short, or if your feeling a bit more sophisticated, some orange liquors have great names; Campari, Drambuie, etc.
Also Sherbet or Sorbet, Butterscotch, Peaches (jesus, i'm hungry right now)

Anyway, post whatever you go with plus pictures, b/c now i might have to start looking for an orange snake.

All great names, unfortunately she has more yellow and grey on her, not much orange

Drambuie was a good one.

Sole - pronounced SOL-AY (you know..... like the sun cause she's yellow.)

Its funny you should say that because i already have a bearded dragon named soleia because of the sun lol

Ok, how about Misty or Dawn or Misty-Dawn, or name like a pedigree dog, "Royal Misty Dawn"
Or back to booze; Galliano, or Galliana if you want it to sound more feminine. Or even Corona if you're more of a beer drinker.

This is too much fun, please keep updating.

i do like misty as a name. I have been leaning towards savannah because ball pythons are typically found in the savannahs of africa in the wild, but im still looking to see if i can find something better

Ooooooo! Corona is good because that has to do with the sun!!!!

Haha, we have a beardie too! Her name is Ripley, (from the Alien movies.)

ok, bear with me here; the Sahelian region (the Sahel) is the part of Africa that transitions the Sudanian savanna and the Sahara - so what about Sahel or "Sahelia"?

Yzmasmom, Ripley is an awesome name - i love naming for my favorite fictional characters - seriously, i dont only use food and drink names :D

What about Goldilocks? Or Aurora (dawn)?

Thanks! She's my husband and he picked it out. Yzma is mine. She's named after the character on The Emperors New Groove.

Hahahahaha it would be ok if you did only name after food. Food is good!!!!

love all the suggestions, keep em coming! here's a link to a few pictures of her too if that helps http://imgur.com/gallery/ileSy

Cypress
Epona
Sarayu

Gah!! She's adorable!!!!

She's a beauty!
Question: what are your other pets named? Sometimes keeping a similar naming scheme helps.
so besides food, drink, and African ecoclimatic regions, how about songs? does your favorite band/performer have any songs that would make a good name?

I used to put a lot of thought into naming but now the kids usually insist on something before the snake is even home. I just go with it lately. My newest BEL hold back is "Olaf":rolleyes:

You can also thick of favorite places or geographical features, etc. My snake is named Hoosac, which is a railroad tunnel. Although we sometimes call him Hoosatonic, which is a river near said tunnel. No reason really, except that it's a long tunnel and a snake is a long animal.

i have a bearded dragon named soleia, and 2 pitbulls, a large male named jake and a small female named zoey.
and olaf is a perfect name for a lucistic lol

LOL, my son (3 at the time) is really into cars which is why the fish is named Convertible. - The cats' names all stem from my fascination with New Orleans, obviously. (by the way, 'Fess is, in fact, a long-haired cat)

Eventually something will come to you.

It took a while to name my normal., but the names I use are related to their morphs. The butter is Brickle, the champagne is Bubbles, and the normal is Callista, because Callista means most beautiful one, and she can use the extra (niceness? distinction? 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.
