Dexter!

Not sure how I came up with it.....I think I was lying in bed and it just came to me.

I watched the show Dexter's Labratory when I was a kid so maybe it was subconscience =)

My male veiled's name is Lucutis. It is an altered spelling of Locutus, from Star Trek (Locutus of Borg). I really like the sound of the name, and I really like Star Trek, so it works for me! LOL! I'm not a "hardcore" Trekky though, just a casual fan.

Anyone think Lief is to cheesy (since he blends right in)????

lele Mar 01, 2006 11:47 AM

I love changing spellings of more common names/words (for instance, had a cat named Svette Lana, which was a twist on Svetlana)

My veiled cham, Luna (now gone ) got her name for 2 reasons. One she was the color of a luna moth (I raise them) and when I forst got her she used to climb to the top of her cage and walk in circles upside down once the light was out. I thought it was much like a moth drawn to a light and flying in circles (except she did it in the dark) so it just worked. Ended up a perfect name for my little girl...

lola44 Mar 01, 2006 01:52 PM

Thank you!!! Jimi really fits her (ok,, I didn't know I had a "her" until after she was named),, and Stevie Ray Chameleon just rolls off the tongue (no pun intended),,, Eddie also gets Edward Lizard Hands (kinda like the Johnny Depp movie Edward Scissor Hands)Lo

O.k. here's my names-

Stitch- he came named that way... and it fits
Rana- means Frog in spanish-my granny used to sing me a song about frog tails, in spanish, when I was little.

Lou- is manly for Louise- my granny's name

Yosamite, becuase he was a hot-headed red head with little bow legs, shooting from the hips. Remindes me my Yosamite when he see's food

Angus- my new gecko. He's Angus cause he's a little beef

Beck and Juan are my dart frogs- they are named after me and my sister (Rebecca and Juanita) since she was visiting me when I got them.....

And Igaro- because he sings to me at night...

And Frumpy- because she's well.... frumpy.

My veiled is named Mr. Electric Ocean after a character in a song I like. Silly, I know, but the name kinda creeps me out, and when my guy gets mad, he gets me a little scared!(I'm such a wimp!)

I named my snapping turtle Snappy McSnappersons the One Who Snaps because....well, I shouldn't have to explain that one!

I won't go through all my other animals, but my favorite names are for Bumbles my cat(after bumbles the abominable snow man, cause he's white and fluffy) and T-Sex, my male leo, after a line spewed out by Jesse Ventura in the begining of the movie predator.

FEENIEE Mar 01, 2006 02:41 PM

what about the roaches?? Ha ha, did you name them breakfast, lunch and dinner???? LOL.

FlammySnake Mar 01, 2006 03:44 PM

Well, I didn't want to get too attached to the roaches, seeing as how they could become food one day, but the girl with the bad wing i've kinda adopted as a pet of sorts, and refuse to let her become food. I just haven't come up with a name for her yet! Any suggestions?

wellbe1 Mar 01, 2006 08:25 PM

A chameleon named Monty. My hedgehog is named Alfred, after Hitchcock. Then my alligators are Bob and Bubba.

I did have a nice Rose hair tarantula but my cat Lucy knocked over the cage and the top came off. I never saw Frank again.
