your snake's name? - Page 2

Most of my animal names comes from hours of just looking through different and unique baby names and finding ones I like. There is no theme or anything, though the snakes I do want to breed, most of them were paired (2 S names, 2 J names etc). Only a few of my snakes were named after their colors (Rory--he is reddish), personalities (Sparky--he was a bit of a pain in the a**), and my favorite season (Winter--first snake I owned).

Well my favorite reptile (sorry not a snake haha) is my peacock monitor, I never really named him though lol, my geckos are always named afyer movie characters

Sevvy · 08-31-16, 12:21 AM

I've only got one, but I just named him and I've still got that "new name feeling". His name's Severus Snake-- Sev and Sevvy for short. I'm really into Undertale right now (a PC game with a lot of puns) and I love Harry Potter. I decided I'd name him that if he turned out to be male, and he did, so I'm super excited.

@Sevvy.. I have a bone to pick with you.. Do you think Sans is so calm because nothing gets under his skin? Or because he doesn't have the heart to get worked up about anything? Sorry about these skele-puns, i find them pretty humerus. But for anyone not familiar with [P]Undertale, i might seem like a bit of a bonehead.

... I feel like i need snake siblings to name Sans and Papyrus now... And another female to name Undyne... haha!

Anyway!! I never used to name my reptiles besides a few special ones (Granted my last collection was a lot larger than this one, i would have lost track) But now i do, it's fun and it helps my friends and family to understand which snake i am talking about. Now that i only have a 'few' and i really get to spend more time with each one and get to know them better... They all have names

Also sparked some interest with my friends and family and if one not well (Like Loki was for a while) they actually ask me how he's doing.. Which is nice as i am not as involved with the local reptile community any more, but i do like to talk about my animals haha. I give my animals names that i like, or that seem fitting..

My Boas are al named after characters in a show called 'Bleach' All 5 letter names. (Was a coincidence)
Renji (A hot headed redhead with black tattoos, seemed fitting for my hot headed superhypo)
Rukia (A slightly hot headed character that uses a snow katana, sort of fits my slightly hotheaded t+ albino)
Aizen (Evil incarnated, both of them

)

My giants have random names, all 4 letters for some reason. Which also was a coincidence at start with the first 2, but then it sort of became a theme.
Zuko (From Avatar, because he's my handsome prince and acts like one too)
Xena (From Xena warrior princess, because she acts like her, all she needs is a leather skirt and a blonde sidekick)
Hiro (From Heroes, because he just reminds me of the short of stature do-good character Hiro a bit and i love the name)
Kira ~(From Deathnote, it was his late brothers name.. Fits both of them because they're smart i suppose, but i mainly just love the name. Have had several pets with this name)
Then my last one, my burmese python.
Loki (From the avengers series, because basically in this collection he is a loner and because i love the name+character)

I have a wild Texas rat snake I caught as a baby. These snakes are notorious for biting, or as Steve Irwin used to say being "grumpy". So I named it Oscar.( Sesame Street grouch.)

8 years or so later..(give or take, maybe more) Oscar layed eggs. But her name is still Oscar which fits neither her sex nor disposition.(I have picked on her nearly her whole life..not bad...just enough to aggravate her a little). She hates being tied in knots, so it's a favorite game of mine.

When she was somewhere around 18", I once managed to get her in 3 knots!

After 15 years or so...she has really caught on to my game though, and at pretty much 5' , even though there's a lot of length there, it's extremely difficult to tie her in more than one. One time, I was picking on her doing something she didn't like, ( don't remember what exactly),and she bit me, just like a dog or cat would : ( so gently it didn't break the skin.)

I have a red eared slider turtle I caught that plucks little dried shrimp out of my fingers for treats. I named it Vin Diesel (fast and furious)...but this guys fingernails have gotten so long I'm changing it's name to Edward. (scissor hands).

I have a betta named Boy George and a cat named Sammy. Everyone on the street knows Sammy and he knows everyone's cars. He lays out in the street, and if they live on the block, he makes them drive around him. If it's a strange car, he gets out of the street.

Banana BP (m) named Mo after Mo Farah, because he was fast when I got him
Lesser BP (m) called Max after a friend of mine, Maxine, but he's a male so Max
Spider BP (m) called Shannon, who is Maxine's daughter and it can be a male or female name in Ireland
Pied BP (m) named LJ after Laura Trott and Jason Kenny the 2 British Olympic/World track cycling champions
BEL BP (m) named Sam as I like the name
And lastly my female CA x Nicaraguan T+ Sunglow BCI who I have named Val in honour of my wife who passed away with Kidney Cancer on 12 November 2015

And since I lost my wife my snakes have brought me a lot of comfort and peace.

HerpDerp3005 · 09-02-16, 01:39 AM

I named my snake DJ. Like DJ Snake!

Fbaccnum1 · 09-02-16, 02:59 AM

My jungles named burgers and chips...because his colours remind me of a McDonalds cheese burger... yeah no idea where my head was at that night.

jay's reptiles · 09-02-16, 08:01 AM

My baby female normal retics is Remy.

ThirteenRavens · 09-02-16, 12:13 PM

@Tsubaki: I love Bleach!!

I need to think of a name for my new little guy but I am so horrible with that...it's so hard! Even naming my video game characters is an epic feat lol...

JellyBean · 10-06-16, 09:24 AM

I like to hear the stories behind the names too

Bean's full name is
"Jelly-Bean a/k/a David Hisselhoff"...

The jellybeans are for the shapes on his back.
He HAD to be a David, because I'm the only one that's NOT a David!
(Hubby, son, father-in-law, several close friends...)
And HISSelhoff is a name play on 'David Hasselhoff', and it was just too funny to pass up

We also have a Chiweenie named "Oscar Meyer" (like the hot dogs)
Had...
A Bearded Dragon named "Spyro" after the the video game, Spyro the dragon.
A green Iguana named "Bender" from Futurama
And a hedgehog named "Humphrey" because he always made a "humf" sound when he was scared.

I'll spare you of the rest...

Mother_Goddess · 10-06-16, 10:01 AM

Okay JellyBean, by the way your screen name sounds familiar so I wonder if you were here way back when?

My daughters new corn's name is Amenadiel and the new baby is named Enodia. IF IF IF I can pull off bringing home the other girl her name will be Zefonith.

Amenadiel was named by my daughter. I am not familiar with him but I do know he is on the TV show Lucifer. I have not come across him in my spiritual studies. Enodia, is named after Hecate, and Zefonith after mother Lilith.

I can't forget ancient bearded dragon Jules, who was also named by my daughter when my daughter was 5. Her name is actually Julie, but we have always really called her Jules.
