What a pretty turtle!!
I'm glad the ear surgery went well.
As for names I like to name mine based on circumstances.
Shell E is the only one I did not name.. she got that name because she was wild, she was broken, I took her to a vet who agreed to treat her for no fee if I paid for supplies needed.
The vet's receptionist named her only because she needed a name to put on the records. She said Shelly? I said ok but spell it Shell E so it'll be a little bit different.
When I took in Hope after ear surgery she was named that because we hoped she'd live.
Charity was a charity case
Janie came this close()to meeting with calamity
Hobo was the bum who came here every year for handouts
Kibbles came close to being a milkbone
Chip had a broken piece of shell hanging off him that looked like a tortilla chip.
Fate brought Destiny our sulcata to our door.
Circumstances named them all except for Shell E so that's one method of finding a name.
Another method is watch them for a while & name them based on behavior.
My mud turtle scoots along the bottom of his tank, he's Scooter.
My pac man frog is yellow & they have such a sunny disposition. (lol) his name is Sunny.
Good luck choosing a name.
