Names for a Chameleon

[drmdrm25]

I'm getting a male Veiled this weekend, and need some help thinking of names. I like creative names.

For example I currently have a leopard Gecko named Apollo, and had a bearded dragon named Iggy.

I can't think of names until I meet my guys. I have two leapord geckos, ones name is Carl he is a snow morph and twitch my trempor albino. Frita my veiled was originally Humphreietta then it got shortened to Frita and my husband has started calling her frito now. Lol

I named my veiled Omar (since he is from Yemen) and I wanted to name my panther something Malagasy but couldn't find anything I liked so I decided on Clouseau after the inspector in the Pink Panther movies. I had wanted to save that if I ever got an Ankaramy but my granddaughter thinks if we get a panther from that locale we can name it Pinkie Pie after one of her favorite little pony characters!

I've always liked Oliver for a veiled male, I don't know why. If I ever had one I would name him Oliver.

Alternatively, perhaps you like scientist names? These can be cool and unusual. Something like Pasteur, Linneaus, Erasmus (C. Darwin's father, not a scientist but it's a neat name regardless), Bohr, Pavlov, etc.

Erasmus (C. Darwin's father, not a scientist but it's a neat name regardless)

Extrodinary!!!!! Erasmus, that is super cool due to the connection. I freagin love it and hope I can remember it down the road when I run out of our Star Wars references. Our Nosy Be's father was Vader, so we just had to continue the craziness.

Here are a few regional references for you that could be cool.

Imam (sounds like Emom) is a religious leader's title.

Kaleb of Axum lead an army at one point.

Zafar is an area where christian arabs lived back in the day.

May I suggest any of the male characters from Criminal Minds? I have a veiled female named Penelope Garcia

My veileds are named after Planet of the Apes characters. Right now I have Zira (female) and General Aldo (male). And my others are named after historical figures, or mythology (Magellan, Plato, and Andromeda).

I have a veiled named Chameleo ( I know not very original ), I also have a panther my oldest daughter named Jelly bean. We would have named him Skittles, but that is taken by 1 of our ferrets. We sometimes have trouble figuring out names, because we can't use the same name ever again (our kids made that rule). You could do a search for unusual lizard names on google.
