Nameology Thread

I like to use names from Roman and Greek mythology. I'm currently running through the planets, which were all named for gods anyway. I named my latest addition, Jupiter. My next one will be named Saturn if it's a Pinstripe combo or Pluto if it's a Pied combo.

I realize Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but it was a planet for most of my life, so I still count it

Same, awesome name choices!

In 5th grade i had to do the stupidest project on planets. Making one of those mobiles with 2 hangers and all 9 planets on it. Pluto is a planet and will always be a planet imo.

It's a big ole' hunk of something that orbits the Sun...that make's it a planet as far as I'm concerned

"Nucky" - Pinstripe Male - Boardwalk Empire reference...he wears pinstripe suits
"Ellen" - Pinstripe Female - She likely does too
I have "Tara", "Jax" and "Gemma" from SOA
I have "Penny", "Bernadette" and "Amy" from Big Bang

Then the rest of my females are named after hot 30-40 year old actresses...Drew (Barrymore), Julianne (Moore), Molly (Parker)...the list goes on.

I've even got some weird names the kids did.... "Crayon", "Captain America", "Stain", "Roxy"

I believe I even have a "Snakie" in there somewhere.

Oh, and for the LOTR fans....

I named my female normal bp Gypsy.
Honestly for no other reason then i think its a pretty name for a pretty snake.

I name my pets after my favorite characters from shows, whichever ones their personality embodies the most.
My normal girl is named Raava- from Legend of Korra, she's the light spirit and very calm and serene, it fits her well.
My banana boy I named Mycroft from Sherlock; he has an intelligent air about him and is always curious.

I also have a hedgehog named Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra. Fiesty temper, sweetheart at the core though. Plus, he only has one eye

Normal BP - Orpheus, the God of song and poetry, also the Orphic religion believes we are immortal and constantly being reborn, like snakes shedding.

Bumblebee BP- Otto, because I'm a Sylvia Plath nut, and her father was a bee expert. If the snake had been female, it would have been Sylvia.

Anery corn- Zmija, Croation for snake, because we have no idea on sex for it, though we call it him.

Hog- Spot, because his cloaca is a huge bright spot. My fiance is a sick man.

Red Tail Boa- Ruska, Finnish for colors of autumn.
