"Steve" Ghost male - (after Steve Irwin because the first thing I thought when I saw him as a baby was "he has khaki saddles!")
"Lydia" Ghost female - "Psalm of Lydia" my favorite song by Nevermore (if anyone knows what I'm talking about, that's really awsome! LOL)
"Ruby" female Love line Okeetee baby - duh...red saddles. Wasn't very thoughtful that day
"Quinby" male Miami - Scandinavian for "living like kingship" because I've tried everything to make him as comfortable and happy as possible and to make his mice good enough for him cause he's so picky!!! (finally broke down and bought him an anole to scent)
"Tayki" female Miami - means woman in a Seminole language
"Jaegar" male w/c normal - means "one who hunts" in German...because he's wild and he really "hunts" his dead mouse!
"Clementine" female w/c normal with lots of red - Clementine is the official name of the color my grandma's VW Beetle was (her fav. car) and we always faught over whether it was orange or red.

All Pied Everything
Cool Thread idea!
I don't usually name my snakes until I find a perfect name. I at least want something that fits really well.
Warning, this might be a bit long winded..
Baby Travis - Ghost (m)
I went "snake shopping" once I was ready for my first cornsnake and ended up with a ghost. The guy who sold me the snake's name was Travis. My roommate and I started calling the snake "Baby Travis" on the way back home.
Kimerscoff - Motley het Butter (m)
Named by an ex boyfriend. My ex used to joke around about tricking people into thinking he had a russian foriegn exchange student staying with him. When people came over he'd say that "Kimerscoff" was off doing erronds or sight seeing. His dad owned a huge house though so I think people usually believed him. Or at least pretended to.
Hunt - Locality Okeetee (m)
Hehe, possibly the most uncreative name ever, named for the Hunt Club. I tried to go with "Hunter" but it didn't fit quite as well. He has a GREAT feeding responce as well, so also named for that.
Tetris - Locality Okeetee (f)
She has a great part to her pattern that looks like someone's about to get a tetris.
Scarlet - Locality Okeetee (f)
*shrug* Just a pretty name that went well with her collors.
Copperhead - most likley Amel, hopefully Butter stripe/motley (m)
When I was looking at the pictures Tom sent me of the babies he had and drooling over them my boyfriends dad came in the room. Whenever he sees me looking at snakes he starts talking about the snakes he used to deal with when he was growing up in Arkensaw. Also, this guy's got a really light head right now. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll turn copper.. or at least orangy.
Cottonmouth - High White Reverse Okeetee (f)
Same story as above.
Minus the copper head, plus the cotton white color of her borders.
Bayonet - Caramel Mot (f)
Just 'cause
Non corn
Kai - Columbian RTB (m)
When I got him a friend who was with me suggested Kaa from the jungle book. I think the name is cool, but it's a python name! I have a co-worker named Kai and I've always thought the name was cool. After the Kaa suggestion my train of thought immediatly jumped to Kai.
Still unnamed!
1.1 Blood reds
I recently saw a post about someone's bloodred named Pomegranete. I wish I'd thought of it first because it's awesome and perfet consitering my female's het for Anery A!
1.1 Ultramel
I'll probably name these guys Haraku and either Naota or Canti. I'm not sure yet, I just got these two. Haraku seems like a fitting name for the female though because her colors are really bright and loud.
Hypo Honduran Milksnake
He's just too cool for an ordinary name and I can't think of anything spectacular yet.
Well, I think that's everyone.... :grin01:
I did have a little amel that I named Exclamation because he had an exclamation on his head pattern. Unfortunatly my cat got to him though. =(
I hadn't even noticed I had an escape. Even though he's very sadly not part of my collection any more I think he's worth a mention here!
:-offtopic
PS: I absolutly LOVE the name Raven. I don't know what it is, it just sounds so pretty.
This is my Raven at the moment:

He's just too cool for an ordinary name and I can't think of anything spectacular yet.
Well, I think that's everyone.... :grin01:
I did have a little amel that I named Exclamation because he had an exclamation on his head pattern. Unfortunatly my cat got to him though. =(
I hadn't even noticed I had an escape. Even though he's very sadly not part of my collection any more I think he's worth a mention here!

My bloodred was changed to Scarlett. I felt Garnet was too harsh sounding for such a sweet little snake. And the Amel het lav is Blaze.

My current boy is named Hokie, after my alma-mater (VA Tech).
I lost Sterling and Hecate, both were Anerythristics. Sterling was an obvious name, and Hecate ("Cate" for short) was a name from mythology- some sort of demi-God with snakes for hair.

I didn't know we could include the non-corns!
Choco- Coastal Cali King- looks like choc chip cookie dough
Inez- needed a Spanish name- totally stole it (with permission) from a MBK of the same name Nelson's Milksnake
Addy- Eastern Hoggy- puffs up like a Puff Adder- their colloquial name
Zee- Tri Hoggy- He has some zigzag going on, including a perfect huge black Z on his spine. I sort of wanted a Z name, but couldn't narrow it down.

I'm doing a hebrew mythology theme with my animals.
Samael - male Black Rat snake (Means 'Venom of God,' one of the angels that guards Eden.)
Belial (Formerly Ishtar - demon of fertility) - Male anery aztec (Angel of confusion and lust before the fall, also credited to be the father of lucifer)
And I'm hopefully getting a RTB around christmas, and I'll continue the theme with it's name most likely.

The Rule Of Thirds.
J.D. - (Amel) my first snake, it stands for "Juris Doctor". At the time, I thought it'd be cute to name a snake after a lawyer's diploma.
Glutton - (Sunglow) self-named, was a chow hound from a hatchling.
Ansel - (Anery) in honor of the photographer Ansel Adams.
Lili von Shtupp - (Hypo het Lav) my first "breeder bought" corn (from Serpwidgets and Hurley), she's named after Madeline Kahn's character in the movie "Blazing Saddles".
Sangre - (Bloodred) from the Latin root for blood.
Odysseus - (Pewter) from the king of Ithaca in Greek mythology, of course.
Bubbles - (Normal het Pewter) taken from your archetypical "ditzy blonde".
Snake Mary - (Charcoal het diffused) a character from the Steely Dan song "Rose Darling".
Mr. Benchley & Mrs. Parker - (Lavender pair) they're named after jazz-era writers Robert Benchley (grandfather of the author of "Jaws", btw) and Dorothy Parker, members of the Algonquin Round Table.
Earl "The Pearl" Monroe - (Opal) named after the former New York Knicks guard and NBA Hall of Famer. Of course, opals used to be known as "Pearl Corns".
Emtarkanderundersgunderson - (Lavender) a tip of the hat to one of my favorite Homestar Runner Strong Bad email episodes.
Louise - (Opal) the protagonist from the Steely Dan song "Pearl Of The Quarter"; in the Steely Dan tradition, the lyrics are cryptic enough to suggest that Louise is a prostitute. (and again with the pearl references.....)
Phil Connors - (Hypo het Lavender and Charcoal) Bill Murray's character in "Groundhog Day"
Boon - (Hypo Lavender) because she's a "boon" to my breeding projects; I can skip a generation because of the addition of the hypo gene.
Nina & Simone - (Normals het sunkissed, charcoal, and diffused) clutchmate girls named after the jazz singer, Nina Simone.
Anthracite - (Mexican Black Kingsnake) the purest "grade" of coal, known for its reflective sheen.
Faust & Marguerite - (male lavender, possible het diffused and hypo; female bloodred, possible het lavender and hypo) two characters from the "Faustus" legend of a man who sells his soul to the devil, which I intended on doing once I got them, as I mentioned in this thread.
And of course, I have a boatload of names ready for some snakes.
regards,
jazz
