Lets play "Name that Radix"

[guidofatherof5]

This beautiful Radix is another special snake. It's the one pictured in my "Nose to Nose" thread. Tonight, I had her up with me in the livingroom. My youngest daughter(Hailee) asked what her name was. I was at a loss for words(doesn't happen very often).
So, here's what I want from all of you. Send me a name idea:rolleyes: After it looks like the thread is dead, I'll poll my kids for the winning name. The forum member that submitted the winning name will receive a gift. But wait, guess in the next 20 minutes and I'll....... Just kidding.
I do want your help and hope you will submit an entry.

One entry per forum member, please.
Unless your kids want to guess then I'll take all there entries.
Kids receive a much nicer gift:eek:

gee....sounds familiar.....my mom named my tiger keelback Heidi since she hid a lot.....and named my garter Thud, since she would climb up the side of the cage and fall all the time, making a thud sound.....then she got a companion for her....named TC...for Thud's Companion..... :rolleyes:

[guidofatherof5]

Don, Was that just a comment or was there a guess in there:D Great post and super names.

[ssssnakeluvr]

[Sylverkitti]

Hey Steve what a cutie snakie! LOL I showed my daughter..and she said: UhOh OW! And took off....told her Naw, that's NOT a good name for a snake that cute so my entry is:

Zuzeka

Think I spelt that right, its snake in Lakota

[reptile3]

Astra sounds like a cute & cool name!:)

[guidofatherof5]

This is going great. May kids are excited to be involved. Of course, my son asked if he was getting a gift. I said "Here's your gift, clean your room and you'll eat tomorrow". Don't get me wrong. I encourage my kids all the time. I'll say to them, "The beating will continue, until morale improves" or "Don't make me get the duct tape out, again" Communication is important when your raising kids.
Being in Law Enforcement has it advantages. When the new Tasers come out I always take a few home to try out:eek:(Just kidding) They won't let me take them home:mad:

ROFLMBO!!!!!! Now there's a bummer!! How are you supposed to be accurate with them if you can't practise on moving targets at home??!!!!

Lolita. Her name is Lolita. Don't know why, but that's what came to me. :)

[infernalis]

Rosie Radix

[crzy_kevo]

i like the name "Peeker"

[mtolypetsupply]

My entry:

The name on her Tank (you've seen my pics and labels! LOL), her formal name, her ROYAL name, would be:


Gilfillan's Lady Gusto Love-a-boo

then I'd call her Gus

[misskris]

Gaea

Gaea is Mother Earth. She is from whom everything comes, and she is not only a divinity, she is Earth. She bore the Titans as well as monsters like the hundred armed men, and some of the Cyclopes - others were sons of Poseidon. She was the daughter of Chaos. She was a primeval goddess, born along with creation itself, and had a large role in the population of the world. She was primarily spoken of as a Mother of other Gods, rather than having her own myths.

[Aundrea]

I have always liked the name Dakota :D

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Madison, Maddie for short! :p

[olive oil]

Remember the Get Smart show? Well, since you have so many I thought 99 would be cute:)

[mtolypetsupply]

OMG, 99! That's too cute! Good call, Olive!

[infernalis]

Showing your age Zoe.....:eek:

Or you like TV land, yeah that's it your only 21 and watch lots of re-runs.;)

[Stefan-A]

Not bad. :) On several occasions, I've felt like naming some of my snakes "85", as a reference to Alien 3.

Exactly;)................

[Stefan-A]

Exactly;)................
Exactly what?

[infernalis]

Never thought I'd see the day Wayne would have to explain ANYTHING to Stefan.

See I know none of your snakes have names, So when I read that you had even contemplated naming any snake it seemed so unlike you.

Hence the comment that I made.

Just tying to make you smile, sorry it failed.

[Stefan-A]

Never thought I'd see the day Wayne would have to explain ANYTHING to Stefan.
Explaining your own statement doesn't count, especially when my question was rhetorical. :rolleyes:


See I know none of your snakes have names, So when I read that you had even contemplated naming any snake it seemed so unlike you.No, it's very like me to contemplate such things, but ultimately decide against them.

Oh yeah thats it too much TV land;)

Well Stefan, I think it was SWEET of you to at least think of naming one of your PETS:D

[Stefan-A]

Well Stefan, I think it was SWEET of you to at least think of naming one of your PETS:D
Not one, several and I still don't really consider them pets.

[guidofatherof5]

I think to be fair I will let this thread run for 1 more week. Then the competition will close and my kids will pick the winner.
Get those names in before you miss out!

[guidofatherof5]

You have to narrow your choices done to 1 name. Must be fair to everyone. All great names but need just 1. Thanks

[infernalis]

Steve - My 9 year old son Brendan is sitting here beside me, and he said he would like to name it Rudy

Yay! I won! I won! I won! :) :D :)

I pm'd Steve already and no prize is necessary, although I truly do appreciate the offer! Fun contest :) I almost feel like I cheated because I know kids so well and thought it would appeal to them, but I was also very touched by that photo of Steve and Nelly nose to nose. Fun stuff :)

Thanks Steve!
