Name for my new Gecko - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

JStrider · 11-06-2003, 11:45 AM

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.

: )

phoenix1002 · 11-07-2003, 01:50 AM

nice female blizzard. i need to get some more blizzards in my collection.. time to breed her to a nice albino

Esoteric · 11-09-2003, 02:13 PM

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

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.

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

What about Gordon?

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