it took me 3 years to pick "silo" but they have a long life so dont hurry. i decided on my name because the way he eats it seems like he is storing food in a silo!!

Buster is good...but since you're a Giants fan, Big Mac isn't bad either (in the 70s, the Giants had a premier slugger named Willie McCovey...also known as Big Mac...DAMN! I'm getting old)...Of course, you'll have to change it in about 4 or 5 years if he turns out to be a she:p Keep him hot, humid and hydrated!

Yeah thats true, i wasnt around when Willie McCovey was playing (actually i wasnt even thought of lol). Im only 20 years old, and i've been a Giants fan since like 2002 when i was 12 lol.

Im leading towards Buster but like tczar said i got a lot of time.

She looks like a Muffin, Cupcake, or Peaches to me! My boyfriend calls my Torty "Tortasaurus Rex."

my tort is called Shelby. I tried to pick a name that was unisex with not being able to be hundred percent on her being female till she is older. Yours is a little cutie and out of the 3 u posted Chestnut is more unisex. He looks like a Buttons to me though lol

I named mine Tank because he will be like a tank when he grows up. Lana I named after the girl that I got her from. I too like Buster :)

One of mine started out life as Kurma (Sanskrit: meaning "Tortoise" and the second avatar of Vishnu). My other hatchling like yours had no name. One of my neighbors a 5 year old kept calling him/her Fred. So he/she became Fred once there was a Fred there needed to be an Ethel. Now I have Fred and Ethel.
I would recommend just waiting, the name will come in time, which is what you and your tortoise have plenty of.

I vote for cadillac. Its not an option but if a sulcata were a car it would be a cadillac, plus if it turns out to be a girl you can call it cadi.
