    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

    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.

    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

    I like where you're heads at man! I think that we have a front runner in the name game!

    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"?
