How did your snake get its name?
Not sure if this was done in the past, but I thought it might be fun to share a picture of your snake and a picture of who/what the snake was named after and if you choose, a brief explanation. I figure let's keep it to snakes, for now....
Thanks for sharing!

Re: How did your snake get it's name?
I'll start. This is Django, my California Kingsnake. He was named after the character played by Jamie Foxx in the movie "Django Unchained"https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...04283152e0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6beed840ce.jpg

Re: How did your snake get it's name?
This is Pua, my 100% Het Albino Ball Python. I named him after the pig in Moana, who's name comes from the Polynesian word "Pauka" which means pig. I just thought it was a cute and unique name!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fb5498942d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7751066927.jpg

Actually Polynesian is not a language but represents a group of different cultures from many different islands located in the Pacific ocean known as Polynesia (ex. Samoa, Tonga, etc.) And in the Hawaiian language pua means flower and pua'a means pig. Not trying to be an ass just wanted to clear that little mix up(:https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cb7cf214e7.jpg

I keep it unnamed for a while until I get a feel for its personality/temperament, and then I match that up to a character from Greek, Roman, or Norse mythology.

My first one is Chloe. Named after the character from Smallville.
I also have some named after various Inuyasha and NCIS characters.

I have a lot so I'll just include photos of the snake itself and an explanation. 2 of them I didn't name so they aren't included.
1. Bud, because he's my buddy. I was 12 when I got him, don't judge. haha

2. Cloud Strife, after the Final Fantasy Cloud Strife.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...%2FanWWu4x.jpg
3. Draco, Latin for Dragon, because when I first got him he was scared of everything. Me, his food, himself, but with his angry face he looked like an angry dragon.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...%2FYDvpQkK.jpg
4. Sanji, after the One Piece character Vinsmoke Sanji, because he has one head stripe "eyebrow" that's more zig zagged than the other. The differences reminded me of Sanji's swirly brow. lol
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...%2FFCMQHk4.jpg
5. Riverrun, after the House Tully Riverrun in Game of Thrones. I just liked the way it sounded, and it seemed to fit her because of her long, thin body moving like a river.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...%2Ffv2KBbd.jpg
6. Nymeria after the direwolf/queen in Game of Thrones. I just liked the sound of it and it seemed to fit her.

7. Crona after the Soul Eater character. He's thin like Crona and his motley pattern reminded me of them for some reason.

8. Howl after Howl in Howl's Moving Castle, because he's pretty.

Guin after Guin from Guin Saga. Idk why she just reminded me of him.

Re: How did your snake get it's name?
Ichtaca- Aztec for "secret" due to his question marks https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a7300a688b.jpg
Pololena- Hawaiian for "blossoming", for the banana ball python. It was Countess Chiquita for a while due to her morph and her alien head side pattern dots counting 1,2,3,4 but it didn't suit her. Po fit.
Leilani- Hawaiian for "heavenly blossoms", for butter tessera corn snake. The color and pattern reminded me of lightening or stars and flowers. Now she reminds me of honey lemon cough drops lol https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5dbf7aedec.jpg
Keahi- Hawaiian for "the fire". For obvious reasons :) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5c09fa0f90.jpg
Wonambi- One of the many Australian Aboriginal names for the rainbow serpent from mythology, for Brazilian rainbow boa

Kinda like using theme names.
My black pastels have botanical names. My pieds and the female albino I have kicking around (who was originally supposed to be part of an albino pied project) are named after characters in a story I've been chipping away at forever. The Angolans are Ripley and Hicks :D
Three don't have themes. My rosy boa, Kira, I named after Major Kira of DS9. Got her while the show was still in its original run, after all.
And John has named two snakes -- Magneto the pastel and Sheila the JCP. Though when I get around to picking up another Jungle, it will also have a name beginning with S.

Re: How did your snake get it's name?
Everything from the snake personnality to movie character for ball pythons, to Greek mythology theme for hognose, to Egyptian theme for Honduran milksnakes.
Now I need to find a new theme for another species I am getting back into.

Re: How did your snake get it's name?
Named Calliope after a Homestuck character. Calliope is a cherub, and in Homestuck a Cherub is an alien that when they reach full maturity turns into a snake that is either evil and spreads destruction or good and seeks out to stop the evil one's paths of destruction. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e8f689936c.pnghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8c0464d486.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...75b826445d.gif

Cake: I loved food names at the time, and albino reminds me of lemon cake! It's a total coincidence my name is Fiona... So it ends up being an Adventure Time reference... LOL
Yukon: white place, white snow
Vigil: I wanted a sharp sounding name. But she is not sharp at all.
Gem: A BEAUTIFUL GEM
Drizzle: Finally an interesting one, she arrived a few hours late, the deliveryman didn't ring the doorbell so I had no idea how long she sat out there, AND it was drizzling that day, so her shipping box was wet.
Pixie: I wanted something short and girly and cute.
Blissey, Togetic: I was replaying all the pokemon games at the time LOL

Re: How did your snake get it's name?
my beautiful baby boy Kassadin was named after a champion in a video game (League of Legends). i was thinking of doing Cassie for Cassiopeia, which is another champ in League
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f055267780.jpg
but i decided on Kassadin because i ended up getting a boy and it sounded close enough haha

not too exciting but i'm hoping that as i get more pets in the future i can continue my League theme (or at least a video game theme) :^)

My first snake ever, a ball python of course, is named Boots. Every time I tell this story, they think it's funny because it's supposed to be ironic. No, it's dark humor.
Really my only notable name in my collection.
Other than that, I just have more "graceful" names like Florida, Nylah, Julius, Alice, Kaa, Tigress etc. Whatever names just pop in my head. Of course, there's also Mango, which is my blood python. Surprise surprise, I'm not creative, I just named an orange snake after a fruit.
Also, because y'all love pictures so much. This is Florida.

Bagels. Just brought him home from the show and had him in a holding tub with non latching lid. He pushed up on the lid while he was in the kitchen, I heard it click and see him trying to make a run for it. I grabbed the 1st thing I saw to keep him contained while I finished getting his actual tub together. When trying to think of a name, I kept going back to Bagels as a joke. It stuck.

I bet not QUITE as evil as Nagini- but then again, she didn't do much to aid Voldemort(nothing quite consensual, I mean). Both snakes are beautiful, at any point.

My boa, Irwin, is named for Steve Irwin, obviously, but my other boa, Gimel, has a more interesting name. I've told this story before but....
Dreidel, the Chanukah spinning top of lore, is a gambling game played with chocolate coins - the 4 sides of the dreidel each indicate a different result for the spinner: SHIN means you must put 2 more coins into the pot, NUN means you neither win nor lose any coins, HAY means you win half the pot, and GIMEL means you win the whole pot. - I had been scouring the classified sites for weeks and weeks with some interesting results but none that really struck me, then i came across the picture below in her ad; look at the large saddle on the upper left, i saw that and realized she literally had "winner" written all over her!

I have a butter motley Corn named Land o'Lakes after the brand of butter, a classic Corn named Gypsy because she traveled around a lot before finding her forever home with me, a scaleless Corn named Suede (whose girlfriend will be Velvet... waiting on the right one from SMR). My Cubans are Julio and Carmen. My coral glow is Max Skinner (from the movie A Good Year) so his purple passion girlfriend-to-be is Fannie Chanel. My high white pied is Escobar (cocaine drug lord). My albino is Daisy. My Otay rosy male is Speckles because he has speckles, and his lady friend is Lady. My SD female is a lavender so her name is Peaches, hence her boyfriend is Herb (1970's vocalist duo). Oh, and I have a tessera Corn named Barry Allen (the Flash) because he's fast as He** .

Re: How did your snake get it's name?
My enchi firebee is named Hissinger because I thought he was hissing at nothing when I first got him. I'd hear him doing it when I was across the room. I figured out it was the vibrations from my high heels on the hardwood floor, because it only ever happened when I wore them. I make sure not to wear them on the second floor where my snakes are anymore. He has only hissed at me a couple times since, and it's been during cleanings when I've had to move him. He's still the only bp I have that hisses, so the name stays :P
My super mojave is Slitherin, because I'm a nerd who owns snakes and I enjoy really terrible puns.
My albino is Orange Crush, because he reminds me of the soda.
My pewter is named Whiffle, badum tisssssss.
My spider is Parker because Spider-Man has been my favorite marvel hero since I was tiny, but his "pet" name is Spoder.
My females have never really had a definitive name for any one of them. I'm terrible with girl names, I guess. I've always called my super pastel girl "my main squeeze" because she was the only female I had for a long time, and it's also another terrible snake joke. She has a billion other names, though. The other girls I have are all new, one of which isn't even here yet, so no names have been decided.

I have a Regular Ball Python named Jeffree I named him after the makeup artist Jeffree Star Because I have no idea what gender my snake is so for now He/she has no gender..
