ishmael. .i loved the book by daniel quinn . and ishmael is the name of the son of abraham in the story of the sacrifice in the qur'an.
Hey jazz,jazzgeek said:Well, they're in my sig, but here are the explanations:
J.D. = abbreviation for Juris Doctor. I thought (at the time) naming my first snake after a Lawyer's sheepskin was humorous. Now, I think the joke is lame.
Glutton = named herself on this one. Outstanding feeding response.
Ansel = my anery B named in honor of the renowned photographer.
Sassy = my Suri redtail boa, in honor of jazz singer Sarah Vaughan
As for the non-snake critter names:
Bo, my Lab, is short for Bodhisattva. In Buddhism, the bodhisattva is a being that forgoes nirvana (heaven, paradise, whatever you choose to call it) to show others the way to get there, the ultimate in selfless acts.....which is what dogs have always represented to me. It's also the title of a Steely Dan song.
Miles Davis = a male Betta that's "Kind of Blue".
Dizzy Gillespie = my male beardie. Think of Dizzy's cheeks when he played the trumpet, and you have a beardie dominance/fear display.
Rose Darling = my reddish-pink female beardie. Named after another Steely Dan tune.
