Apollo... or help me pick a name!

[caymaria]

I never really properly introduced myself...name is Cayla from NJ. I came to the board under some sad circumstances with the passing of my last baby, but happy to introduce the newest Greek member, "baby Apollo born in July 2010". (maybe you all can suggest some better names!)

Here he/she is! This is when she first arrived today so she looks a little "dusty"

Hi Cayla:

Welcome! to you and little Apollo. I love names like greek gods for greek tortoises, or african names for leopards and sulcatas, etc. But I'd be willing to be you'll shorten it to something like Polly in the future

well, i named one of my tortoises "Thundernuts", so you may not want any help with names from me! You got a great looking tortoise, by the way!

 

[caymaria]

Haha, Thundernuts!! How did that name come about?

 

[Jacqui]

Welcome! I like Apollo myself. Looks liked a very pretty little one. Glad your giving it another try.

Hi and welcome, what a cutie you have,
I like native American names,
Shouldn't worry to much about the name,
when I got Mini she was that size, and now she is no longer mini as she weighs over a kilo, more like Godzilla.

I have another about the same size as Apollo, his name is Midget,but I think I need to change it, never have I seen such a active tort or one that is constantly eating.

When I get up there he/she is waiting at the food bowl,as soon as I put my hand in it races over and tries eating my finger, thing is she is about 5grams underweight,

If it's a boy I will change it to something like fats, fatboy, speedy, gutsy.

Welcome!

Apollo sounds like a good name, and like Yvonne said Polly would work if you have to change it in the future...

Welcome to the forum!
Thats a great name

 

[fhintz]

Grats on the new addition!

I like the name Apollo

 

[caymaria]

Well, my boyfriend calls him "Jeter", I call him "Tater" (all of my past tortoises were named Tater) and his mother calls him "Apollo". The little one has 3 names But I think I will stick with Tater (out of habit)
