agreed and as to the person you were quoting the point is so that when you talk about them with people they can know them as something other then "English name of species", "morph", "male/female", "size range", #### snake. yes the # signs are the number as some people will breed and get the same morph. that and its just a human quality to name things, we have names they become part of who we are and we name things because those things become part of who/what we see them as.
personally i would question if the person hated their own name if they disliked naming things.
