Tegu Names?

[Quartzyellowjacket]

I already know what i'm naming my Tegu. Having a childhood that was heavily inspired by Toho Kaiju movies, i. e. the king of monsters, Godzilla (Gojira). What did you name your Animals after?

 

[monstruo-the-tegu]

i named my tegu in spanish for monster so like something really original but having to come up with my tegus name was hard

Kodo is named after the Komodo dragon, my brother just removed the middle syllable. Magica is named after the concept album by heavy metal legend Ronnie James Dio. Blackmore is named after Ritchie Blackmore, the legendary guitarist of Deep Purple and Rainbow. Spike is named after the spikes on his tail. Joe is named Joe because I was four when I got him and that's the name I liked, lol. My dogs are named after various sausage brands.

i named my giant azrael after the angel of death that manifests in several religions. different iterations have him as an archangel of justice, the harvester of God's souls, the harbinger of death, etc.. i liked the name because my favorite example of him is simply the archangel who exacts the God's will, bringing the souls to be judged by him, but everyone refers to him as the actual angel of death; malicious, sinister, and forboding. i find Tegus, and reptiles in general, are often thought of as aggressive and scary creatures, when really they're just misunderstood! I'm not saying i think one view of this religious/pop cultural is inaccurate or wrong, just the contrast between the two is reminiscent of the plight of reptiles... plus i had a dinosaur in a video game i named Azrael and he was cool!

I don't get it. Is Drazil named after a famous character of some sort, or did you just respell Brazil? Sorry if I sound dumb. I do think it's a nice name, so I apologize if I come off sounding mean (which is not my intent).

I like the name Spaz the most XD

I have always taken...the road less traveled. My 100lb Bouvier des Flanders was named Muffin. My 33" (at the shoulder) Great Pyrenees was Fifi. Just choosing a tegu represents a deviation from the norm.

I'm planning on naming mine Fluffy. Inspiration? My son suggested it tonite - after reminding me of the names we've used for our dogs in the past. Love it.

 

[TegusRawsome80]

I named my current tegu Franklin, after the late president just because I found him inspirational.

Blizzard, Chester came with names. Kreacher from Harry Potter, Oreo is black and white, and Charlie the Unicorn from Candy Mountain. Ooops, almost forgot little hook. Hook from Peter Pan and had a little hook on his tail after he hatched.

[TeguBuzz]

I have many reasons for all my pets names, but here are two of my pets names.

I don't have my Tegu yet, he's still incubating :] but I have a name picked out already that I made up myself. The name I made is Oni Khan . This directly translates (in different languages lol) to "giant creature king" I don't think that part needs much explaining for why I thought it would fit well with a male tegu lol. Also, Oni are mythical japanese creatures who are referred to as possessing ultimate strength and invincibility. They have long sharp nails and big sharp teeth and horns coming from their mouth.

My Merauke Blue Tongue Skink I named Caipora. This refers to a brazilian mythical creature who is a protector of the forest and wildlife, helping those who respect nature and hurting those who do not or are poachers, etc. It has it's rear feet back-turned (like my lizard lol) and does things to help animals keep safe like hiding their footprints.

:3

We named our girl Ammy, because when we got her, we didn't know if she would be better suited as an Amaterasu, or as an Ammit. We like names of old gods for our pets for some reason. Eventually, she just became Ammit, and we shorten it to Ammy.

Or, as I call her most days, my bratchild.

Its a good thing I played Okami, other wise I wouldn't know who Amaterasu was.

Kodo is named after the Komodo dragon, my brother just removed the middle syllable. Magica is named after the concept album by heavy metal legend Ronnie James Dio. Blackmore is named after Ritchie Blackmore, the legendary guitarist of Deep Purple and Rainbow. Spike is named after the spikes on his tail. Joe is named Joe because I was four when I got him and that's the name I liked, lol. My dogs are named after various sausage brands.

OMG someone else knows who Ritchie Blackmore it!
I picked Gordo for my big guy. He is a Gordo, a fatty. I picked Eva for my girl after Evita Peron, wife of the Argentine President Juan Peron....I may change it because she is beginning to look a little jowly. If she is a male, I am thinking of Ghidora, tlhe three headed nemesis of Godzilla and sometimes pal of Mothra.

Lol, Ritchie Blackmore is AMAZING. He's towards the top of my pantheon of guitar gods. Recently got Rainbow's Down To Earth album and I have to say for a Rainbow album without Dio, it's pretty awesome.
