Question: Axie naming

[TheNewt]

I currently have 2 "teenage" axies 1 wild type and the other's leucistic, I haven't got a clue as to their genders. I also have 2 leucistics that are about 7 cm long (He says having just got down on his hands and kness with the smallest ruler he could find ).
They all very much have their own personalities but I'm not at all good at coming up with names (sad I know ).
I was wondering if any of the other members could give me some ideas/suggestions, all I seem to come up with are cheesy/obvious names.
Can anyone help?
Also thank you for taking the time to read all my ramblings :happy:

Haha. Well.. I ended up naming mine Zephyr. It means fast wind.. and if you've seen how fast they move, you'll understand why! haha..

Other names I thought of.. Mew... lol.. like the pokemon. Kinda look a like..

Requiem. Unique word that I liked...

Viscose.. something to do with liquids moving over liquids.. kind of forgot..Still a cool word though...

ANnnnnnnnnnd Saturn.... Because their gills remind me of the planet. Lol

Hopefully these will get your creative juices flowing... =]

Let me know you're final decision!

You can poke through this thread to see everyone's ideas. It's a million pages long, but fun to see why people named their axolotls what they named them.

Ask some kids! My 4 year old comes up with the weirdest names. He made me write a list the other day of names he would like to use and it included Android, Merzon and Shadow. His 6 year old brother has a fish called Harry Hula-hoop. We've had a cat called Cordelia, and when she passed away we got 2 more which are called Spike-a-saurus and Gobby.

Our new axolotl was named by my bf who called him Axel... I should have asked the kids first!

I named mine Artemis and Poseidon, after Greek gods! If you google Greek gods, the wikipedia page has an endless list of awesome names to use.

Flotsam, Ursula and Jetsam.....

I've had a tarantula named Apollo..
A cat named Artemis..
Dog named Banshee
Other dog named Echo
Two snakes.. Eywa and Kaa (Kaa is the snake from the jungle book ) =]

And a random cat named Doctor Watson... because she had a moustache.

Hi I have five Axolotls and my grandson helped me to name them. He is a chocoholic
The largest two are Galaxy and then Aero who has black freckle spots, Curly Wurly, Smartie and the slightly smaller one Mars. They all have different personalities and the names do well. Galaxy loves his tummy to be stroked( I am finding sexing them a problem even though saying he, they are now 12 months old) Aero is also very friendly and a lightning worm consummer. Curly Wurly and Smartie are very laided back but not as quiet as the largest two and Mars likes to dive around at speed especially when he is being caught to be cleaned out. Love them all to bits:happy:

That's a brilliant name

I find naming them difficult, too. I originally had a name for a golden, but it someone ended up stuck with one of my first axies, a leucistic.

Now I actually HAVE my little golden and I can't think of a name. I wanted to call him Eddie, after the ships computer on the starship Heart of Gold (from the hitchhikers series) but Scott doesn't like it, and it didn't stick anyway!

Good luck naming your brood!

I've given up on naming mine. They never came when called, anyway!

If pressed, I call them the names that most spring to mind after a water change:

"Hey You!"
"Stop That!"
and "Don't you Dare Uproot That!" (they get called this a lot).

 

[Mr Poseidon]

hahahaha i love everyones names!

My little axi is named Poseidon Spot Chomp Chomp Knucklehead Hewitt

=P i just kept coming up with more names so he has a full array of them now

 

[ZoeT94]

My leucistic is called pinky... and my wild-type is called Tyrone, because I allowed my 18 year old brother to name him...

I was going to call one Wooper, like the pokemon!
