How Did You Name Your Lizards?
Sunday November 30, 2008
In our continuing series on pet names, let's talk about lizard names. There are quite a few great lizard names in the lizard names list I started before, but I'm always interested in how people chose their names. Did you have names picked out before you got your lizards? Or did you wait to see what your lizards were like before settling on a name? Please share your lizards' names by adding them to the comments section below. Feel free to note the type(s) of lizards you have, and how you chose names too! I hope to compile all these names to update the master list of lizard names, as well.

For a breedin pair of Bearded Dragons - Keith and Nicole. They are Australian, you know.
My kids have named several of our herps, and sometimes the names just “leap out” at us…
Green Iguana - Izod (the shirts with the little alligators)
Amelinated Corn Snake - Mushu
Snow Corn Snake - Mulan
Golden Gecko - Scaramanga (the villain from James Bond’s “The Man With The Golden Gun”)
Bibron’s Gecko - Mad Madame Mim (she was feisty, like the animated character of the same name)
Western Hognose Snake - Harley
Rosy Boa - Slinky (he always likes to go from hand to hand to hand…like a slinky)
Leopard Gecko - Lil’ Miss (from the live action movie where Robin Williams played an android)
Crocodile Gecko - Elton John (from Elton’s song, “Crocodile Rock”)
Chinese Fire Bellied Newt - Got Better (from the Monty Python “Holy Grail” movie, the scene where John Cleese accuses a woman of being a witch and turning him into a newt, then he says..um, I got better)
My brother has a Bearded Dragon named Freddy.
After Freddy Kruger.
I wanted to name him or her after a great lizard god…but could not find anything.
Then it came to me… named after Dr. Curtis Connors. The evil lizard man from Spiderman!
Doc it is
My little beardie is named Chomper because when he eats I can hear him chomp down on his food.
My Leopard gecko is called Lila because she has a tiny bit of purple on her and Lila is Norwegian for purple.
i have a bearded dragon and im thinking of naming him rex, apollo, or caden
My son has a bearded dragon he named “Edgar Allen Poe”. Exactly why, I don’t know. He calls him Edgar, anyway.
My beardie is Sam coz i didnt know if it was a boy or a girl and my partner named his snake slithers, just thinkin of a name for my new addition
Hi,
I have aLeopard Geko and her name is lizzy
(I thats a pretty dumb name for a lizard but come on, I was young!) And I was thinking of changing her name to cleo!
Hi,
sorry, I know I have already posted my coment but I messed up on my spelling so as I was trying to say was my Leopard gekos name is lizzy but I think I might change it to Cleo!
I am preparing to buy a crested gecko. I searched for european Monarch names, and came up with Raoul. If its a girl I’ll have to change the name.
My lizard was called malibu but we used to call her mali or malikins for short.
she was a leopard gecko by the way lol.
