Anyone have any good names for a Sulcata?

When I choose a name for anything including tiny humans I don't pay attention to personality or behavior (ironic considering I'm a behavioral specialist). What I do is find a name with a meaning that is something I like. For example: my kids names Desmond = defender; Aaralyn = with song; Azrael= hand of God. I do this because I have noticed that my humans and animals behave according to their names in some aspect or another. Now, keep in mind that's just what I have noticed with my humans and animals and it's also a preference of mine.

Im just the opposite of drew54. All my critters were named after observing personality and behavior. I named mine "Ghost" after observing that he would hide in the shadows first thing in the morning awaiting his breakfast. Within seconds of filling his food dish, he'd appear out of nowhere.

I named one of my dogs "Ellie" because her appearance looks like my wife's grandmother of the same name (not being condescending towards her either). Her mannerisms and temperment closely match as well.

My oldest dog, "Jed" was adopted as a senior dog. I named him after the old man on Beverly Hillbillies.

My youngest dog, "Archer" was named after some cartoon character by my son. I ain't had nuthin to do with naming him. Lol

Most people watch the behavior first. As far as names go there are so many. What kind of manner are you looking for? There are common like tank, Sheldon, etc.

I name all my pets after moons and planets. Like right now I have:

Saturn (tortoise)
Mimas (hedgehog)
Pandora (the second) (Turtle)
Titan (snake)
Rhea (my coolest pet, a sugar glider)
Dione (my bigger snake)
And tarvos (the meanest animal I have, ANOTHER HEDGEHOG)

(all of which are animals and all are saturns moons.)
Saturn ( my baby tortoise) is my favorite animal. So I named him saturn (EVEN THOUGH HE IS MY NEWEST ADDITION)
