How did you come up with the name sobek? It sounds familiar. Does it mean anything?
Thanks

Legends etc and the name jumped out and caught my attention a week after I got her.

The word sobek means "power of the pharaohs" or several other derivations of that sense. That is also why my CBB nile is named Sobek. His father's name was Pharaoh.
