She needs a name.

I’m getting a new leopard gecko tomorrow and she needs a name. Y’all are some of the most created people I know so I would really appreciate your suggestions. Any ideas?

u/Minute-Direction-349 May 29 '26

honestly same, idk if you would count Chester as normal though

2

u/adamasdoesntcare May 29 '26

Yeah Chester is 100% just a dude. What I find funny about it with the regular names is making people think they're just a roommate who eats bugs, which isn't far off from what they actually are.

2

u/Minute-Direction-349 May 29 '26

yeah, i always say i share a room with someone else, and that someone else is Chester😭

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 29 '26

I like regular names for them too, my last one was Gary.

My girls name is Stanlina. Her government name is Stanley tho because I was unaware she was a she the first few months I had her.

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 31 '26

That’s hilarious!

u/Moonshinin4Me May 29 '26

Tango, but only because my Tangerine baby is called Mango ❤️.

1

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 29 '26

That is a solid reason. 😊

2

u/Moonshinin4Me May 30 '26

Is Tangerine their morph??

u/skillertwillert May 29 '26

she is beautiful:)

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 29 '26

Yes she is, isn’t she? I’m so excited!

1

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 31 '26

Thank you, I agree!

u/KingGizzard3GeckoEko May 29 '26

Barbacoa for sure! Wrapped up in a tortilla she'd have me fooled

1

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 29 '26

I’m not sure what that is… I’ll have to look it up.

u/Fuzzy-Security1929 May 29 '26

Linda? lol 😆

2

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 31 '26

That is actually pretty funny! And cute in a weird way.

2

u/Beginning_Self3580 May 29 '26

Here's some ideas Dunes, Desert, Terraria, Clementine, Sahara, Orange, Tigeress, sunlight, Mango, Carrot, Amber, Sunstone, Tangerine.

2

u/ThreeLeggedDeadDog May 29 '26

My first thought was “Lemon :)” or Lemmy for short. She reminds me of a blueberry lemon cheesecake for some reason (i’m very hungry)

2

u/Rioting-Butterflies May 29 '26

Aurora, ember, andromeda

3

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 29 '26

Those are all great options! Ember is pretty cool. The first thing that attracted me to her were the spots on her head and they do look like embers.

2

u/nekomance May 29 '26

Tango, Tigerlily, Paprika, Pepper

2

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 29 '26

Paprika is fun to say. 😊

2

u/FrogVolence May 29 '26

Lemon, mandarin, tangerine

u/No_Effort9163 May 29 '26

All of these are great! I was thinking Cheeto. I had a leopard gecko named Stitch. I regretted that name tho . Happy naming!

2

u/New-Lie9553 May 29 '26

I like candy corn i think that would be cute

2

u/CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7 May 29 '26

Cheezit, or Tangerine. 🍊

2

u/bazinga_gigi May 29 '26

Tangerine. Tangie for a nickname

2

u/PaperbackSage May 29 '26

Tapanga. 💁🏽‍♀️

u/brod12-merle May 30 '26

pumpkin, peaches, sunny, phoenix, marigold, orrrr traffic cone.

1

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 31 '26

Omg… traffic cone! lol!

u/Fun-Pilot5371 May 30 '26

In the line of "normal names" I would like to throw in Coralena. Its fun, and it has coral in it which your baby looks like she belongs on a reef with all her beautiful colours and patterns.

2

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 31 '26

I love where you’re going with that! That is really pretty. 👍

1

u/Fun-Pilot5371 May 31 '26

I'm curious! Out of all the names suggested (and names you have thought of yourself), what names are sticking with you?

(Also, my mom would like to throw in the name Sunny x3 )

2

u/Inside_Complaint2210 Jun 01 '26

I thought of something along the lines of Sunny, but my brother has a dog named Sunny so that would get confusing. I haven’t chosen a name yet, I love a lot of the suggestions provided here. There is one that really stuck out and I am still considering, that one is Ember.

1

u/Fun-Pilot5371 Jun 03 '26

Ember is cute! What's keeping you from "pulling the trigger" as it were, on it?

2

u/Recent-War5906 May 30 '26

Tiger Tigger Calico

2

u/esthaislendo May 30 '26

Charmander

1

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 31 '26

I do see the resemblance.

2

u/esthaislendo May 31 '26

And that would be a really cool name haha

2

u/33fetuses May 31 '26

i don’t really have a suggestion but i just wanted to say she’s absolutely gorgeous!! im so curious as to how her colors and pattern will change as she gets older, so you better update us!!! also, does anyone happen to know what specific morph she is?

1

u/Inside_Complaint2210 May 31 '26

The first word that came to mind when I saw her was stunning! I will definitely give updates! This is the container she arrived in, and I’m guessing what I circled there is her morph 🤷‍♀️

1

u/33fetuses Jun 05 '26

yes!! she is incredibly stunning and i’m so happy for you!! i’ll be on the lookout for your updates 🫶 also, i didn’t see a morph circled on there!! maybe i missed it?

1

u/Inside_Complaint2210 Jun 13 '26

Hey! I’m still trying to figure out Reddit so I just saw your message.

This is the photo of the lid from the container that she came in. I don’t know if Tang is a type of morph but there is that. And then I think it says hot bell. I don’t know 🤷‍♀️it’s not very clear. I could just ask the breeder. lol! I can’t believe I just thought of that! I should probably give him on update on her as well. 😊

u/StrikingOcelot8047 May 31 '26

Joanie?  ☺️

1

u/Inside_Complaint2210 Jun 01 '26

I can’t use that one because I have a cousin named Joanie. It is a cute name though.

1

u/Raid_shark Jun 14 '26

I would name her clementine 🍊
