Answer 12

When I get my tortoise I am probably going to name it either "Koopa" or "Darwin"

You use one of those if you like!

Answer 13

I have a Sulcata and I named her Tiny Tank....we call her Tiny for now and maybe later we'll call her Tank....but Tank is common, Tiny isn't especially for a Sulcata since they get huge! Check out it's personality and go from there. Or name it after your favorite superhero, cartoon character, novel character, movie character etc....

Nutmeg, Chutney, Cinnamon.

Answer 21

My inspirations are...

Books. Rabbits get names from "Watership Down", and "The Lord of the Rings" books are a great inspiration, especially the names of the wizards and minor characters. One of my Red-foot Tortoises is named MYLO (originally Milo), one of the Hobbits from the Shire. Other names have been RADAGAST (the Brown), TOM BOMBADIL, GOLDBERRY, SHADOWFAX, and several of the Dwarf names like GIMLI, GLOIN,DURIN, THORIN, etc.

Places. Using maps of where they come from, I find good location names. My Hinge-back Tortoises were named for national parks in Africa, like ETOSHA or TSAVO and one of my Red-foots  is NUMA, derived from a place name in Brazil.

What they are called locally. One term for Red-foots is JAPUTA, which became one of their names.

Their common or scientific name. The scientific name for Red-foots is Geochelone (Chelonoidis) carbonaria, which means 'land turtle charcoal (or black)' roughly, so names like GEO or GEORGE, CHEL or CHELLY, BLACKE, 'lonoid' can easily become 'LEONARD', etc.

One color morph of the Red-foot is the 'cherry head', which can be BING, JUBILEE, etc.

A Russian Tortoise can use names from the rich tradition of Russian literature or movies (Anastasia, for one quick source), place names, etc.

A Sulcata Tortoise can use names from The Lion King, Tarzan, place names, etc.
