Name for my new Gecko
 
well I got my new gecko a day late... (never ever shipping animal via usps express again) she seems fine... after she recovered from the shell shock of being shipped for two days...shes very active and running around exploring her new home... shes super great lookin and really cute!

http://www.cs.ttu.edu/~schrodt/Gecko/fantome/
those were right after i unpacked her

but anywaysi havnt thought of a name for sure yet...
ive got a couple ideas tho

Fantôme - it means ghost in French (pronounced fan-tome)
Fantasma - it means ghost in Italian

i was kinda thinking id like to keep it to a word in some other language... like my other gecko is named Spassvogel (Joker in german) if anyone has any other ideas lemme know!

drawerfixer 11-06-2003 11:51 AM

I like Fantome.

She certainly looks like a ghost!

Stare At The Sun 11-06-2003 12:59 PM

I like Fantome as well, seems very fitting, and good choice on ze pet!

mb99usa 11-06-2003 01:05 PM

She is a cutie. I vote for Fantome as well.

lurkette 11-06-2003 02:02 PM

What a cutie!
Fantome seems to fit.
You could call her Fanny for short :)

Dano069 11-06-2003 02:06 PM

GODZILLA!

No, no, only kidding.

I agree, Fantome seems to fit very well.

shalafi 11-06-2003 02:16 PM

I vote for bob. But then i name everything Bob.

floonine 11-06-2003 02:25 PM

Fantome is cool, fitting.
I am partial to japanese words myself.
Although their meanings might be a little different based on context,

youkai (yo u ka ee), konpaku (con pa koo),
gakidou (ga kee dough u) and onryou (on riyo u)

can all be defined as a ghost or spirit of some sort.

bundy 11-06-2003 03:17 PM

looks like Fantome is going to stick... but have you considered Sheila?

QuasiMojo 11-06-2003 10:57 PM

Artima Fantome Delish.

that is all.

; )

QuasiMojo 11-06-2003 11:01 PM

no, I'm serious dude!
you must name her that.

: )

Nice gecko, Fantome seems fitting.

Rodney 11-09-2003 02:45 PM

Marilyn. Don't know why, just seems right.

yabobo 11-09-2003 02:55 PM




Too much booze yesterday. I'm having enough of
my own problems. I took it out on someone
I don't even know. Sorry, didn't mean to trow salt.

JStrider 11-09-2003 03:12 PM

well im definently leaning towards Fantôme... maybe mispronounced so its fan-toe-me instead of fan-tome

as for yabobos comment... eh.... nevermind...

Snakebyt 11-09-2003 03:23 PM

how many leopard geckos do you have?
see this thread, there is a pic of one of mine in there

I have a feeling that might be too long of a name for a gecko... but I wouldn't mind that for a koala or a panda.

Jam 11-12-2003 12:24 AM

NeverBorn 11-12-2003 10:31 AM

I want a Gecko that thing looks awesome

JStrider 11-12-2003 11:19 AM

NeverBorn: they are awesome...

when i got my first one i spent like $90ish for animal and supplies... i ended up buying some stuff that the petstore said i should use when theres better things to use... and expect to have the gecko for a while... they can live like 20 years...
If your seriously interested in it send me a pm and i can send ya a bunch of links to care sheets and whatnot...

Rubyee 11-12-2003 03:26 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Unname it and call it Sparky. I used to have a salamander named Sparky that died, and it actually looked a lot like that. Only slimy. And not a gecko.

Mephisto2 11-12-2003 05:09 PM

Or am I the only one who sees the humour in this?
