    Last night I was bored and decided to look up some strange or exotic names for my future bp. I looked for the ones that have meanings that relate to a ball python in some way. I ended up with 5 female names, and 5 male names. I have one from each that I think I'd use, but I figured whats the harm in posting them here for your opinions on which you like and such. So yeah..

    Males

    Saul - Longed-for (Pronounced Sawl)

    Runako - handsome in African (Roo-na-koh) it caught my attention cuz it's in African, and thats where bp's are located

    Nudo - Knot (New-doh) they tie themselves in knots...so :-P

    Delano - of the night (Day-la-noh) my favourite. probably gonna go with this one if I get a male

    Boyd - celtic for "yellow" (Boid) Caught my attention cuz of Boid obviously, and they've got a nice yellow pattern.

    Females

    Abira - strong (Ah-bee-rah)

    Aderes - one who protects (Ah-dee-ress)

    Zola - ball of earth (Zoh-lah)

    Xanthe - golden yellow (Zan-thee)

    Pelota - spanish for "Ball" (Pay-loh-tah) my fav from the female names. I'll probably go with this one for a female.

    K, that's all. If you have any favourites from them, or care to tell me how stupid the names sound, post on. :wink:

    Good set of names! From what language do you get Nudo? And African isn't a language, so it would be cool if you could post what Runako comes from too.

    I got the list from this site: http://www.zoope.com/about/about_names.html (just scroll down and you'll see the alphabet. click what category you want)

    I know african isn't a language, but I just went with what they had listed, lol. I got Nudo from another site that I can't remember, so I'm not sure what it's from.

    Edit: I think the things they list it being from aren't what the word is in a certain language, but rather it's a name that originated from there. So that's not "Runako" in the "african language", but it's a name that originated in Africa I guess. Only way I can make sense of it, lol.

    OK, thanks. I like names as well as bps, so your list might come in handy for me at some point too.
