    Talking Ideas for a name..?

    I am getting this awesome girl from Cueball (for the whole story, click.. http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...t=32935&page=3

    She arrives Tuesday! I am trying to think of a name for her; any ideas? So far I came up with Norma, or Tundra.
    I would really like either a Native American or a mythical name.. your suggestions? Pics courtesy of Cue..

    Re: Ideas for a name..?

    Well I got thinking she's a lovely gift from Cue so I looked up a bunch of names that mean "gift", here they are and their origins...

    Zevida (hebrew), Adia (Swahili), Callidora (Greek - gift of beauty), Gytha (Old English), Isadora (Greek - gift of the moon)

    Here's a neat site with Native American names with meanings.

    I'm the worst for coming up with names, just ask Joanna how much I waffle! I've only had two that I was decisive on (Sierra and Sophie). However, I love your own idea of Tundra!

    Re: Ideas for a name..?

    Wow! She is a beauty!! I love coming up with names for my animals. I too like mytholgical names or names of gods/goddesses and that is where I always start. Oddly enough though, I usually settle on something completely different. Sorry, I don't have suggestions any off the top of my head. If you do a search for the mythology for a particular culture you can usually get lists of all the different gods/goddesses and their purposes. I also look at constellations too, I think it is neat to take names that are in the stars
