Need a new name

[Nikki0326]

Just bought my first ball python this past Monday and in a hurry to name him I went with a name my cousin suggested, Monty. Given that this isnt exactly very original Im searching for a new name. I have some possibilities but cant quite narrow it down...

I chose Himeros! I like that one for some reason.

[jessie_k_pythons]

I would have to agree

[Sausage]

Yes! I like Himeros too. I always name my pets something with meaning, like my BP is Altair('Swift one' in Arabic) and the cresties I'm getting soon will be names Acheron and Lethe('woe' and 'forgetfulness' in Greek, also rivers that lead to Hades.)

Sure, the big names are a mouth full, but they have lots more meaning.
Himeros is the same thing as Cupid by the way.

I want to name my first one Shosholoza. It means "move on" in I think its zulu. Of course it would end up being Shosh for short.

[Snakeman]

i chose himeros cuz it sounds like "chimera"

[bigballs]

call him choochoe!

[juddb]

Those sound like names out of an Anne Rice book... I would just go with Eubert...

[gibbrishclown]

Hahaaa! I just got my first Ball Python second hand, and he came named Monte too... I thought it was so cute and original...LMAO...guess not... I'll have to ponder a new name for it.

my advice is go with what works don't spend hours of research and come up with a name that you have to spell and pronounce to every person you meet...(or don't do it and laugh at them as they struggle with it )



i try and think of what the item/ person/ animal make me feel good about and then name it to reflect that. so i named my snake monty cause whenever i looked at him (especially when he's trying to eat) i would crack up and think of that stupid Monty python theme music ( duhduh dada duhduhduh dada daduhdaduh dada) when i named my car (of blessed memory) Big Blue Bertha the Brainless Basher it made me feel good.

thats all im drivin at really if you think about it.

oh one last thing...not doing something (like nameing your snake Monty) because it's unoriginal is (in my humble opinion) a bad reason for not doing it
