when i first got my little ones (who are now about 3 1/2 " and 4") to my untrained eyes i believed them to be male. HOWEVER, apun further investigation, they are both girls! oops!!!

now i need to give them new names.

has this happened to anyone else??

I realized my Leo was a Lea, but I kept the name, I kept trying to call her something more feminine but Leo was habit by then haha.

I named my turtle Tilly because I had the feeling I had a female hatchling. As Tilly grew it became apparent he was a male (he sprouted spiky claws and a big thick tail). His official name became Tilford, but he's still known as Tilly. It sort of just fits him.

I'm beginning to think I named a female "Tank." Which I guess could work, but it isn't exactly "lady-like." She/He is just so BIG, and reckless!! I had to name her/him Tank!!

I knew a guy that named his turtle "Lulu" and when Lulu grew up, he was a boy! The guy didn't change Lulu's name, though, because everyone was accustomed to it. Lulu didn't mind a bit.

It happens all the time. You don't really have to change the names unless you want to.

I guessed both my hatchlings wrong

well, actually, when i realized that crush and squirt were very unoriginal names i wanted to change them. now i have a perfect excuse.

I've called mine George, but its becoming apparent that it maybe Georgina, but I'm not going to change the name.

Some friends of mine also have a dog called george, when george got pregnant they were quite surprised, but she's still george too..
