I have a new baby that has been in our home now for a little over two weeks and anyone who has followed my stories knows it has been a hard road the last couple of months. After losing my precious adult 3-striped mud turtle on June 1st, we welcomed a couple of babies in our home but these little guys did not survive. This new little guy seems healthy and does have a good appetite (finicky as he is) . . . and with your help, has a great environment and I am very hopeful that he will have a long happy life with us. I was fearful of giving him a name until I felt he would be a long-term member of our family. I think I am ready to consider a name for him and have thought of something along the lines of Lucky or Miracle (or something like that, due to the history we have recently experienced). A friend suggested Angel but it does not seem fitting for a little boy? Anyone have any clever ideas? I would appreciate any ideas.
Need suggestions for a name

How about Phoenix? As in the mythical bird that rises up out of adversity?
Or Moses? A baby that was put in a basket and into a river, but who grew up to lead a million people out of bondage and around a desert for 40 years?
The two angels mentioned by name in the Bible are Michael and Gabriel. There's a third, but he is satan.
For something lighter, maybe Touchdown? Or Grand Slam? Or MVP.

Thank you so much! Those are all such wonderful ideas.

Even better since @susieq450 is a fish person... (Did I remember that right?)
I'm thinking Fin could also be short for Phoenix.
Or Finn, if you want to get into Irish folklore. There would be quite a bit of irony, as Finn is a giant! ?
I just remembered that Fin is The End in some films. So if you go with the name, I prefer the spelling Finn.

I really like Finn and Phoenix! He is still doing good and eating like a little piggy, but of course, his favorite seafood gourmet foods!!
