What's in a name?
We took in a rescue, and got so caught up in making his new tub and watching his behavior that we didn't stop to think of a name! So, I'm looking to the all-knowing forum for help with naming the rescue. It is a normal, gender is unknown, and no name will go unconsidered!
Bring on the suggestions! :D

Re: What's in a name?
I friends nick-named mine mitch (yes after the one in road-trip) so it stuck, but I always thought Bo-vice would be a good name for a snake.

Re: What's in a name?
I like Swahili names for BPs (mostly just because I like Swahili, but also because it's......kind of.... appropriate for where they're from)
So I wanted to use it in case I ever had to do a rescue, or for some other reason got one through extraordinary means, but I like the name "Bahati" It's kind of cliché, because it means "luck"...but it's Swahili
lol:oops:
Anyway, I want to name my next one "Chatu" ("python") so you can't have that one :P

Re: What's in a name?
I forgot to mention that an explaination, story, or reason that you suggested a name would be appreciated!

1st prize for the winner of the name game is the overwhelming since of joy that you have named my snake! Talk about some nice incentive. :P
No decision has been made, so keep 'em comin'!

Re: What's in a name?
I was going to suggest "Lucky", but I see that someone else suggested the Swahili word for it. Seems appropriate!

Perhaps, this might help you think of some names, but this is what I have named my snakes.
1.0 Yellow Anaconda is Midjet I did not name this one :)
0.1 RTB is Kamora, she's a bit on the dark side, mellow and fun
1.0 pastel BP is Jager he is very active, like me on a jager bomb.
1.0 het for pied is coors, well I like to drink, so why not? lol
1.0 het for orange ghost is Bud, well same as above.

ETHELINDA Gender: Feminine Usage: Anglo-Saxon
Means "noble snake" from Old English æðel "noble" and lindi "snake".
Sound about right for a "Royal Python"?
