Hi everyone! I was just looking through this site and noticed the diversity of names. I have only ever seen a repeat in a name between two chameleons here, once. I am sure there may be more but I didn't look too hard.
My question is, what is your chameleon's name, what kind is it, and how did you come up with it?
My chameleon: I have a young jackson chameleon. His name is, Tricky. How I thought of that name, was by thinking the night before I ordered him from the breeder, about a good name for a jackson chameleon. Usually when I name my animals, I tend to make a portmanteau using two different words, typically with greek or latin words. So with a jackson chameleon, the most unique features I could think of, at least compared to most other chameleons, was that they're viviparous, and have three horns. I thought of the horns and how they reminded me of a triceratops. So I thought of something like Sarah but that's too feminine for a male in my opinion lol! Then I thought of Tri, in triceratops. My chameleon would have three horns, so maybe something with "Tri" in it. And then something in my head immediately clicked. A video game I played several years ago, called Star Fox Adventures, you had a young companion, a young talking triceratops, prince of the land. That character's name was, Tricky. That name just clicked in my head when I thought of Tri and I thought it was a cool and funny name for my chameleon. After putting my chameleon in his new enclosure for the first time, and watching him walk around, I decided right then officially, that his name is, Tricky.
So that's my story, named after a video game character…sort of haha! So what do you think? Good name for my little guy? Here's a picture, please post pictures of yours as well! This was the 2nd day he was in my care, only 3 months old.
