My daughter and I just got 2 fabulous, healthy and gorgeous leopard geckos from Geckoville. Both are females, one is a VERY light patternless (she's white with a light wash of yellow on her back) and a blizzard. We're trying to come up with names. So far, for the blizzard we've come up with Sugar or Lily (saving Frost or Winter till I get a male), and for the patternless Sunny, Fairy or Buttercup.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Ever been to Mexico?

I see no problem with calling your pets anything you want to, Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Buddha, Kali, Aphrodite, Mohammed

Naming is a hard thing to do sometimes, and other times it's real easy. My gecko has a water drop patern down from his neck to the middle of his back, and then bands from the lower back to the tip of his tail, so I wanted to name him Ripple. But it didn't quite have that "zing" and it made him sound spazmastic and not mellow like he is, so he became Mr. Ripples.

When I was a kid I had another male gecko who'd make this "chuff" sound alot (sorta sounded like a "hmph", but with a ch-sound in the front... like "chmph"?). So I named him Chuffy.

My personal take on names is that it should more on personality rather than physical appearance, but if possible be well fitting in both areas and give character to your gecko (or any animal for that matter). You can also try other languages, Japanese seems pretty popular, Yuki = snow, Hana = flower, Sakura = cherry blossom, and you can add a -ko, and it'll be -child, i.e. Hanako = flower child, Yukiko = snow child.

after the Sikh that used to own the corner store near my house.

I ended up naming him Omar (Sharif) cuz he is just so darn secksee

I have two goldens that both have their Canadian and Vietnamese names - Kim Phuc, and Kim Phuoc.

So when I was trying to come up with names for my four leos, I thought maybe I'd give them Middle Eastern names, but all I could think of at the time was Mohammed and Mahmoud. I looked through some Arab, Afghani, and Muslim baby name sites to get some ideas and found quite a few while digging around.
