How did you choose your corns' names?

I always consider Rufus to be a down-home, backwoods, country kind of name.
 
These are my corn snake names and origins.

I love Firefly! I have a decal on my car that reads: "I aim to misbehave"
Great snake names.

LOL! Yeah, I noticed your avatar banner pretty fast when you first joined!
Firefly is where a lot of our snake names came from.
 
Every time I hear the name Rufus I think of our old orange tom cat we owned for years and years that had that name, RIP ole Rufus. I only have one corn at the moment, his name and story is as follows

Sir Blinky Starch of Winterfell - Male Sunglow Motley

Sir Blinky for short

Sir- because he's awesome, and deserving of the highest title available at the time I received him.

Blinky- After the Red ghost in pacman. Although Sir Blinky has turned out more orange than red, it is still a fitting name to my color blind eyes.

Starch- after corn starch, because it sounds similar to corn snake, AND it is similar sounding (sort-of-not-really) to Stark, which is my favorite house/family in Game of Thrones.

of Winterfell- Winterfell is where house stark originally resides in Game of Thrones, and I figure that's where Sir Blinky should be from.

That's one heck of a name, Jupiter! [emoji1]


0.1 Normal Amel ("Ruby") / 2014
1.0 Normal Ultramel ("Tango") / 2015
 
Named mine after runes from the Proto-Germanic Elder Futhark alphabet:

Hagalaz - H, "hail" or "hailstone"
Ansuz - A, "one of the gods"

Not much logic behind the names, apart from sounding cool to a history major. In hindsight though, I've noticed that they do make some sense; Ansuz is as benevolent as they come, whereas Hagalaz can be unpredictable and even a bit destructive (if he gets sufficiently revved up he'll bite first and ask questions later).
 
Named my baby corn Meatball since he has circles on his neck with a orangy-brown color. It was a joke at first and now it's actually his name xD
 
I've got my keepers named now, mostly more names from Magic the Gathering.

Iroas, God of Victory - M Hypo het Orchid
Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas - F Hypo het Orchid
Luxa (River Shrine) - F Buf Tessera het Strawberry Plasma
Ryusei, the Falling Star - M Habanero Tessera het Diffused
Darigaaz, the Igniter - M Lava Tessera (his full name in the lore is Rhammidarigaaz)
Rith, the Awakener - F Lava

And then I named Tango's daughter the name I originally intended to name him when I was planning to get a female instead.

Ember - Red Factor Amel het Diffused Hypo Lavender

I almost renamed my Sunkissed "Dorito" because she has a little orange triangle on each cheek. :laugh:
