names!!!

Postby **Dot** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 2:13 pm

OKAY!!! i have just purchased/ received as a gift three (well two... i had one before) hermit crabs. you laugh, but when you're allergic to everything else, and you have this weird obsession with animals, and you live with a family who doesn't believe in pets, a hermit crab is the best way to go!! so, i have already named two of them:
alfonzo berbiguer (ber-big-u-ey) shnell gaglliano II
and
tiglath-pulizer (pul-ee-zer) walter elkheart henry III

the last one i have to name is the biggest one i have. his shell is ugly, so i'm hoping he'll change soon. he's super friendly, and very excitable, he loves to visit, and all he wants to do in the aquarium is escape (ess-cap-pay.. i wonder what that means, funny, it's spelled just like escape!!) the other two think he's weird..

meh! like pet like owner!! so, if you guys could think up creative names, and let me know, that would be helpful!!
thanx
:hug:

I guess you want a really long name...

Do you want a Greek, Latin or Gaelic name? I like Gaelic. Liam means, "helmeted," which might be appropriate with his shell. Keegan or Kegan means "small and fiery." Those both seem to fit him. Maybe, Keegan Liam II. If you'd like him to have your D.O.T. initials, you can go with Darby Orin Teague I. Which means a free spirit, pale and poetic.

:lol:

Dot, I have no idea. I thought the other two names you picked out were good. I bet you could figure out the last one's name quite well.

Ooh, hermit crabs are awesome!! ^__^ I don't have any suggestions at the moment, but I'll think about it.

Out of curiosity, do the previous names have meanings?

I suggest the big long name Vash gives to Wolfwood....I forget what it is, but gimme a few minutes, and hopefully I'll be able to look it up. ^_^

EDIT: Ah the goodness that is reliable friends. That name would be:

Valentinez Alkalenela Zahach Sushira Moheres Gam Mi Govela Blu Stratavari Talentrent Pierre Andre Chartenhemose Valovincci Baldos George Doitsel Kaiser the third

That. Name it that. :lol:

You're allergic to everything else? How about birds, I'm allergic to all cats and some dogs, so I have a parrot. His name is Shadow (he was all black and white when I bought him, but now he's morphed into a shade of blue and white). I named him after the ninja in FF3 :cool:

[quote="true_noir_chloe"]I guess you want a really long name... ]

funny that, i had a LOT of help with those other names... my creative juices come from jazz and another friend.. who, by the way, chose all those other names, except for the tiglath's third and following names. :forehead:

you know...

the tiglath one was found by a friend who took out a Bible, flipped to a random page, and pointed to a name. he was a king of old in the Old Testiment... and alfonzo, meh. i just thought that was a cool name. burbiguer and shnell are composers that my friend suggested, and walter, elkheart, and henry are all names i just chose at random. creativity is good, randomness is better

if i'm not allergic to it, my mom is... besides she doesn't like animals with fur in the house... pickey, if you ask me... i wanted a reptile, like a snake or a eguana, but she just wouldn't go for it... my goal in life: move out and get some animals!! don't get me wrong, i love my hermies, but they'er just not the most warm and cuddly things in the world... picture it on christmas eve beside the tree listening to the music on the radio, holding a hermit crab walking all over your hand, you trying to be gentle with him so he doesn't break your skin with his defence claw... you know.. warm and fuzzy?

but, you can't have it all, i guess..

Hi Dot! Have you heard of double posting? :lol:

I think since this is your thread it's all right, but probably best not to post so many times in a row in the future.

Anyways, you picked Keegan Liam? Wow, I feel so honored. :grin:

Will you be putting a Roman numeral after his name?

Postby **Dot** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 10:52 am

sorry...
VI is the number chosen at random. randomness is good!!

Postby **Mr. SmartyPants** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 11:06 am
