Wer möchte Apfelsaft trinken ?

Who wants to drink applejuice ?

Apparently my little mud turtle is a girl, NOT a boy, so I am changing HER name from Jacques to Marie. I hope she's not too confused...

I've called "Jacques" by the name "Marie" a few times, and I'm just NOT feeling it. Will have to try out some other names and see what feels right...

@Moozillion

To give a tortoise her or his name is a very difficult task.
You need time, time and time. As much time as a tortoise has time

My sullys are named like tanks:
Matilda
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda_II
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda_II
Leo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_2

Valentine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine_tank

Because I think they will behave like a tank when they are adult.....

Yes! Names are best when they match their personalities!
I am currently leaning towards "Liz"! It's short, cute and sassy- like her!!!

 

[Bee62]

"Liz" sounds nice, is a beautiful name. And you can call her "Lizzy", when you talk to her gently.

There's no reason it can't stay Jacques. Names don't have to be gender specific.

 

[Moozillion]

I know! There's a very sweet English woman on another thread who has a male tortoise named Lola!!!!!

It's just ME: I like my pets to have gender specific names.

 

[Moozillion]

Ok, Yvonne. Now you've got me seriously thinking about keeping her name Jacques.
Decisions, decisions!!!

Very cool, cclBee!!! Back when I got my Hermann's tortoise several years ago I also researched the names of tanks to see if one fit her! None did, so she is Elsa Elizabeth.

 

[Moozillion]

My hubby says we should have SUSPECTED she was a female because she acts about salmon the same way I act about chocolate: gobbles it all down and doesn't want to eat anything else!!!!

Haha! That's a cool naming strategy.

Couldn't Jacques just be short for Jacqueline? Sort of.
How are you today, Bea?

There's a reason @Lyn W's male Leopard is still call Lola.

Jacques could be a pet form of Jacqueline... I'd stick with it

EDIT

I'm way behind on this one... caught up with the thread and it seems others agree

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all! How are you all today?

I'm going to have to go to the gym this morning. I need to get some exercise!

This afternoon we're going to see Rogue One.
