Names

Naming your  baby  tortoise is as important as naming  your child and over the years my children have helped me name mine and if I get a new one i will look at it for days sometimes before i decide what to call him or her. So, when you get your new Tortoise have some names written down but don't choose one until you have picked your baby up and looked at it and a name will fit. I have heard some lovely names over the years and here are a few....  shelby, sheldon, maisy, Daisy, speedy, Yoda, Molly, Milly, Mable, flash, Romeo, Angel, Clover, Lancelot, shelly, Bubbles, Egbert, Delores  Ozzy,Shylo, Pebbles, Curtis, Willow, Telula, Rapunzel, Lilo, Lionel, Strider, Mystic, Digger, Lottie dakota, dreamer, Layla, Mitzi, Sidney, Wilma and percy to name but a few. Go on the net and type in names and you will get thousands of names for all sorts of animals. Look at name books for children. Think of old names of long gone relatives sometimes they are really interesting. Let the children think of their favourite tv person etc etc  The ideas are endless, I used alot of shakespeare names ie Romeo and Juliet.The  name   you choose will be with them for a very very long time so take your time and have fun... Email me and let me know if you think of any unusual names to add to the list.......
