Hello!
I am having trouble picking names for my turtles...I have had them almost two months now, and I still can't pick names I like. Please help! Any suggestions would be welcome! I have a list going, but I don't know if any of them are perfect yet......



Bjorn-Bear
Brock- Myth name of a dwarf
Einar-Warrior leader
Ivar-Archer, norse God
Loki- Trickster and God of mischief and fire
Odin-God of wisdom and war
Terje- Spear of Thor
Thiazi-A giant
Gunther-Battle army warrior
Odin-Norse God
Ragnar- Wise Leader
Trojan
Darcy-Dark one
Dwight-light or fair one
Nathanael
Geoffrey

Please give some suggestions! Thanks!

Two names I forgot....Dinky Dee and or Itsy Bitsy

I chose all my pets' names based on things that meant something to me. Others name theirs by personality traits. I had a res named Crash because he was always banging into things. None of the names you listed jump out at me, but that's just me.

Look for something about their behavior that stands out.

I like dinky dee. haha

No, I kinda agree with jenaero, none of those names really made me think "I'm gonna name MY next turtle that" haha

I always wait for my pets to reveal their names- I have found that every critter has its own name and it will make that name known to you if you are patient and watchful.

I would NEVER have named my cat Princess, but it's just her name.

we named some of our turtles by marking's they had. Like Panhandle has what looks like a frying pan on his belly. Exclamation has a ! on his head. Question mark has a ? on his/her head. Or like Tampa and bay came from Tampa bay Florida. Tiny Tim got sick after we got him/her (might have to change it to tiny Tina) and for some reason I thought of tiny Tim. Crush ans squirt after the finding nemo movie.

They look like twins (come as a pair).....how about "Frick & Frack", "Amos & Andy", "Mutt & Jeff"?

I like humorous names, especially after a while when you see how silly turtles really are.

i looked up names over the internet for most of my animals, but my favorite was naming one of my betta fish ailbe. in gaelic it means "the salmon of knowledge" and i thought it really... it couldn't get any better than that. and i now have the salmon of knowledge on my dresser. i love the idea of naming a little bitty turtle the SPEAR OF THOR. it's ambitious! i personally would vote for spear of thor and wise leader. you could conquer the known world with turtles like that.

Hehe! I do like several of those names a LOT....But I don't know if any of them are perfect yet. When I first got the turtles, I almost named them Zorro and Zenith, but decided against it. I still like those names though. I am thinking about the name Cosmos. Maybe I'll just wait to name my turtles until I find out if they are girls or boys...The only problem is, that will be several years! AHHHH!
