We are Harry Potter fans here , so because we have a Luna Lovegood ( redfoot tortoise) A George Weasley ( children’s python) We decided on Tonks, which is a female characters name but we aren’t sure of the sex of our Leo yet so it seemed fitting either way!

I love that idea so much! Maybe I should add a Harry Potter section as there are so many good names! Including the dragon names (Norbert) 🙂

Ah I love it when people do rhyming names for a pair of geckos, kind of wish I had done that! Mango and Tango rolls off the tongue so nicely 😊

Spot was the first name that came to my mind and I might use it for a male in the future. I’m getting my first leopard gecko girl in January, she has a lot of yellow so I’m thinking of naming her Saffron (after one of the Pokemon cities) Gialla (Italian for Lizard) Luterola (Italian for Yellow). My daughter has a male called Celadon, also named after a Pokemon city and he’s so delightful, I am now hooked! Hopefully they could breed..

Out of the names, I chose two of my favorite names from every category;
Monster: Draco and Yoshi
Celebrity/human: Mabel or Swartznager
Food Related: P o t a t o e or nugget
Video Game: Vivi or sonic
Outer space: Orion or Zodiac
Pokémon: Charmander or Heliolisk
Uncategorized: Millie or Moxxie 😉
You should include cartoon, series and movie section, I have a lot of favorite characters like Millie and moxxie from heluva boss, Zim and Gir from invader zim, and some more which would make cute names for geckos 🙂

I have no idea what to name mine, it’s a bold stripe, we don’t know the gender yet, I might name it Tofu or Quinoa. For this website, you could add Chip, Chirp, Dune, Meringue, Fig, Fauna, etc….I’m still trying to find a perfect name for my buddy.
