Hi gang: so is there a book, a list, a site on good Chameleon names? I'm looking for a name for a boy Nosy Be x Ambanja Panther Cham. I don't have him yet, so don't know his personality. He IS cute as a button. Got any good ideas? Thanks-Maggie

Hi Maggie - you must be getting excited! Are you all set up yet? As for naming...I find it to be a very personal sort of decision and for me I try to go by personality. Luna was named the second day I had her, 2 of my anoles and my geckos went without names for months (the other I named within about 2 weeks). My cats I usually name within about a week.

I sometimes like to name them dependent on their species as well. My trio of R. brevi's were from Africa so I gave the two girls African names that fit their personality - then there was Bart - he looked like Bart Simpson!o if you want to do it that way you can just do seacrhes like: african female names

If you want a general site this guy's is AMAZING! Check it out

WOW! Great site again Lele! How do you happen to know about this one too??? You never seize to amaze me! Thanks-Maggie

I found it when I was trying to name a cat (Akira, who died 6 days after I adopted her She was black and I was looking for translations of the word in other languages, which by the way can be a fun way to name, too. I think I was just doing general searches for names and came upon Jerry's site - talk about time on your hands! LOL!

Interestingly, I don't think I have used the site directly for naming, but it has certainly inspired me to look in many different ways. Akira is not "black" in any other language, but it is a Japanese and means "bright." she was a bright spot in my life after losing my other cat, Svette Lana, of 17 years. Btw, Akira is a boy's name, but I find many names can be gender-less!
