Names For a Turtle?

[Linn]

I have a few pets. One of them is my turtle, Nala. On June 16th I'll have had my sweet little baby girl for 8 years exactly. (How exciting, right?)

My dad works with somebody who's wife has a turtle named Myrtle. She's a female as well. ( ) So we just now thought to invite them over for a playdate, since Nala has a large outdoor pen. Myrtle's mom sent the turtle over with us, and we were noticing how small her tail is and how brown her eyes are.

A little background info: male turtles have big, thick tails and red eyes. Females have small stubby tails, and brown eyes.

We've been a bit concerned about Nala because her eyes are a bit red, and her tail's a bit long. But Nala and Myrtle are different species, so we didn't worry. Plus, the vet said that my sweet baby is, in fact, a girl.

So we put Myrtle in the outdoor pen with Nala. Nala was really shy and skittish, but Myrtle's just a little bigger than she is. Myrtle started walking around, and Nala followed her. Then, after a few minutes, what happens?

My sweet little baby girl's new name is Simba. Turtle babies anyone? XD

Now that I know Nala's a male I'm not sure what to call her him. He was named Nala from the Lion King, so I'm leaning towards Simba. But I've put up pictures, so does anyone have suggestions?

So far I'm fond of:
Simon
Ruben
Zephyr
Picking through my roleplay characters... It's such a big decision... >.<

I think Zephyr sounds like an awesome name, but it sounds like it'd better suit a bird than a turtle.

[Linn]

Yeah... I really like Simon as a name... But it just doesn't fit him.
Gah! He'll always be "Nala" to me... >.<

[whirrs]

lol just call him nala! It's cute. drag name ;D

HEY, I just got pet turtles yesterday!
I named one Raphael after the mutant ninja. And I named the other Aqua-duck after aqualad in teen titans and duck from the book weetzie bat.

[Linn]

Well, I'd feel guilty. We've been busting his balls for 8 years, he needs a new name. XD
I'm really liking Ruben. Rube for short. But I dunno. It was easier to name her him when I was 7. XP

[AnimalAvenger]

I don't think he'd mind.

[Linn]

I'd still feel bad...
What about Devlyn?

[AnimalAvenger]

That actually sounds like a pretty cool name .

[Linn]

Thanks.
Or... Dimitre. Demyrix. Still like Damien.
He might end up being Damien. I really like Damien. :3

I used to have box turtles. Their names were Trevor and Alex.

I love the name Simon! But that's my ball pythons name. His full name is Simon Mordikai Alesana Xientao. lol.

Just to give you some ideas, I'll post my companion animals' names:
Isis and Osiris, fish.
Loki, red tail boa.
Simon Mordikai Alesana Xientao, Reggie and Luciferdinand, all ball pythons.
Philo Beddoe, my Chihuameranian. I didn't name him, my dad did.
Felix and Lucy, rats.
Terrance and Riley, my mice.
Kleo Patrah, our black hellion of a kitten.

You should give him three names. Like Tyson Reginald Nalasha. That kind of sounds cute-ish.

I think sophisticated pet names are way underrated.

[Linn]

Three names is a good idea.
A little while ago he just kinda ended up being Damien, so I guess that's his name. XD Daimes for short even though it's the same length...... Palooza was his second name when he was female, I might keep that......
