Tegu names

My first guy's name STARTED to be Draco because I'm a Harry Potter nut.

But, my other half insisted he looked like a baby alligator, so the name Gator just stuck.

The new girl I am calling Atlantis. Not sure if that will stick or not, my pets have a tendency to name themselves.

[size=large]Spaz :heart:,.. my first Tegu a Colombian who was a spaz but came around.

Dino (B&W :heart:) from the Flintstones,.. I had a lot of those stuffed animals of all sizes when they first came out.

Tricky (AA :heart:) named after a character in "The Fifth Element".

LeeLoo (Blue :heart:) also named after a character in the movie.

New Gu (Colombian) no name yet, don't know if it's male or female. Since I'm back at one I decided the first one should be the one that started it all for me.
But if it's a male I'm thinking "Korben" to stick with the Fifth Element theme and as a homage to the one's that passed on. If its female then it will be Milla or Maiwenn after the two main female roles in the movie.

New Beginning and remembrance of the past.

I bought a male and a female (Varnyard '08s) and named them Dude & Chick...

Both escaped their enclosure (dumb mistake on my part, lesson learned) and only one was found (I highly suspect the other made it outside). So I had no clue what the gender was. It was the smaller of the two so I assumed it to be the female.

The next spring when "she" woke I I let me girlfriend rename "her". After a lot of consideration, she decided "she" looked like a Delilah. Since then it has become very obvious that "Delilah" is a male. But my girlfriend likes thinking of my Tegu as a female (it helps them bond) so we usually refer to "her" and have kept the name "Delilah".

I felt a little weird about it at first... but it doesn't matter now... Delilah is all man....

I like old names, I've got a savannah monitor named Murphy, I like Jasper! I think that's what I'm going to name my 2011 baby tegu when he gets here :] I also for some odd reason like Guy as a name. lol. I dunno, it's vague and uncommon. Owen is a fav too.

This is a little late but I got Dragonfly's name well...it kind of just popped into my head! I like that it has dragon in it--because of how big tegus get in general. On top of that, it sounds feminine and graceful -- and dragonflys bring good luck. So, I just decided to go with that. On another note, I have a leopard gecko that I decided to name honey bee (yellow with a black stripe) and I might keep up the "trend" of insect names to lizards even though its a bit of a oxymoron, lol. My next lizard is hopefully a uromasystx. If I get a yellow saharan it'll be firefly, and if its a red lady bug.
