So it was my birthday today and I got the best present ever- a tortoise! But she needs a name! She's a lovely little thing. Anyone got any suggestions? She's obviously arrived on St David's Day and we are Welsh but she's not a Davina! I love literature so literary names could work too! Sorry she's not an actual baby but thought I could trust you lot to come up with some suggestions!

Esio (Trot)

If you like your Welsh mythology Ceridwen or Yseult or Guinevere.

Or Caitlin after Dylan Thomas' wife.

For some reason I like the idea of a tortoise called Barbara.

I vote for Bronwyn - does he/she have a white underside?

palomapaloma · 03/03/2017 20:29

I had a tortoise as a child called Henrietta Smile

Most tortoise will probably have corny names!

FreeNiki · 02/03/2017 15:27

Jonquil.

It is a species of Daffodil to give a nod to St David's.

Wont be many others either.
