The parents of many of the Tylototriton verrucosus available on the market the last few years (in the US) are Eddie and Elektra (names after Oedipus and Elektra of classical Greek mythology). Here are two of their offspring, I believe they are another couple- and I can't decide if they are Hektor and Andromache or Paris and Helen. So I'll let you decide. I like those classical names for the T. verr!

(If it turns out they're two boys I'll rename them Achilles and Patroklus).

I vote you name the male Neither and the female Suggest. I guess their last name would be Something.
 
Odysseus (Eddie the second) and Penelope? Caesar and Cleo? If two boys, Gilgamesh and Enkidu? Agamemnon (I love that name) and..uh...Menelaus?

Or after cities of the Antique: Babylon (Babs) and Troy? Ur (grrreat name for a newt) and Babs? Uruk and Nineveh (I love those city names)? Nippur (boy) and Nineveh (girl). Has a ring.

Or the great rivers: Euphrates (boy) and Tigris (girl?)

You did ask for "next generation: names", so I would suggest Picard, Worf, Crusher and Troi (2 male options, 2 female options).
 
Bacchus and Atropos.

I usually go for celtic deities myself, Dawn, but i too like greek names, some just sound too cool!
 
I like Odysseus and Penelope myself. Odie and Penny for short :p
 
I think I"ll go with Hektor and Andromache. I want to stick with Greek names for the T. verr. I never did name my laos (yet) or even my kweichowensis. I was going to use names from the Epic of Gilgamesh when I was going to get Echinotriton Andersoni but I'm not going after them anymore, with all I have now. I'll have to pick a type of name for the other groups and work on naming them! Thanks for participating.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
