    Re: Names

    I go with names from the Ancient World.

    My Normal is Bacchus after the Roman god of wine and festivals.

    My Pastel is named Osiris after the Egyptian god of the underworld (GF named that one).

    My Mojave is named Cupid after the Roman god of love. Picked him up on Valentine's Day, so that one was a natural.

    My Cinammon is named Mars after the Roman god of war.

    Re: Names

    I chose a theme. My first bp is James Herriot, vet and writer and lover of animals. My next girl is going to be Jane Goodall or Anna Sewall. They will all be animal writers.

    Marguerite Henry
    Jack London...

    etc.

    That's my last name, only I spell it Abernethy. Never considered it as a name for a snake though (even though Laura aka Laooda suggested it for one of my snakes).

    Re: Names

    For the most part, I try to produce themes when naming mine, but most of the time its alil too hard for me, not the best when it comes to naming. For the most part, their names (especially my bps) usually just randomly pop up.
    BPs:
    Spike - female normal - named after my first pet reptile (Iguana RIP)
    Al - Male Het Albino - Al = albino
    Maiya - Reduced Normal Female - Just like the name, plus it fits her.
    Oddball - Female - Got her name from her crazy busy pattern.
    Juno - Normal Female - Didn't name her after the movie, but after the Roman Goddess, who is the evuilavent to Herra.
    Lucian & Lilith - brother and sister normals - named after characters in my two favorite sci-fi movies.
    Gizmo - Spider - Named for being crazy.
    Brom - Black Pastel - Named after the artist Brom
    Normal - Pos. Het Pied - Named after the artist Norman Rockwell
    Others:
    Darwin - Honduran Milksnake - Named after Charles Darwin
    Razor - SD Retic - Got the name from how his pattern looks.
    Rocket - SD Retic - She is lighting fast!
    Hades - Female BCI - Evil I tell you! lol
    Ginger - Female Corn Snake - Name inspired by the movie Ginger Snaps.

    Update to our pets:

    The new Normal female we got today is Athena after the Roamn goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus.

    We have reserved the name Archimedes for a Pied we plan to get in the future. Even though Archimedes was a real man and not a god, he discover Pi R2 and the name is a natural fit.
