What was the name of the egyptian turtle god?

Question

I have a thing about naming all my pets after an Egyptian God. When I found a turtle in my pond I thought I would let my son keep it. I looked it up and the net said something about the name "Set/Seth" because they are looked at as evil thereby being attached to him, but I wanna make sure I get it right. I am kind of neurotic about these things... LOL! Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

huh? seth was turtle headed...hmmm...im not quite sure, but you can always name it after the protector of the Nile, although he's an alligator i guess its still ok :))

Answer 2

' the evil turtle god '  which was slain by me

Answer 3

You are correct.  There was no Egyptian 'turtle god' , but the turtle was one of the symbols of the god Set/Seth, the god of evil (the trickster god).
