Please help name my tortoise

[drathgeb]

I got an African spurred tortoise a couple months ago and it is still without a name. From what I understand I cant find out if it is male or female for about 5 years. SWMBO and I cannot agree on what to call it. Here are a few names that we have considered but any input would be appreciated:
Bowser, Terrence, Dmitri, Snurdle (she hated that one), Turbo, Flash... Poor fella has no sense of identity.

Shelton. If it turns out to be female call it Shelly.

too cute!! gonna get big! make great pets tho. assuming you'll eventually have an outdoor enclosure in AZ for summer?


I've got 2 Russian tortoises (Boris & Natasha) living in PA- didn't want to get anything that got as big as a sulcata


I vote YERTLE even tho s/he's a tortoise, most people don't know the difference LOL (PLUS again I'm a RHCP fan)

Not a trekkie at all. Gorn was just one of the monsters of my early childhood who was seared into my brain forever.
