Best tortoise name ever!

[Ursaminor]

Someone found a tortoise in the village and posted a photo on the village Facebook page. No takers. Then a few days later she tried again - and there was a joyous reply: "IT'S BALDRICK!" together with a photo of the owner with said Baldrick, a known escapee who is apparently a bit of a digger. Baldrick is now safely home, hopefully for keeps, and I just think that he has the best tortoise name ever.

Haha love this! Fantastic name for a tortoise, especially a naughty one.

I met one called Vernon once. I thought that was fabulous 😂

I know one called Linford, I also know a Brittney

Voldetort

🤣 lovely name.

They should buy a GPS tag.

Loving the other names, and the GPS tag is an excellent idea!

Ours is called Glen

Sheldon

I think Shelley would be a good really cheesy name

There’s a greyhound on a group I’m on called Indiana Bones.

When I was a child we had three tortoises - Fred, Julie, and Engelbert Humperdink. I've no idea why my mother lumbered the smallest one with that name!

Shelley!

I am desperate to get a tortoise and I have his name chosen and ready. Sherlock (in honour of Benedict). And if I had a second it would have to be Moriarty

My tortoise as a child was called Shelley

Colin

Usain Bolt!

My old neighbours tortoise was called James. We had very thin walls and I thought James was a reclusive husband or son until she asked if we could look after Names while she went on holiday then all was revealed.

My neighbour’s tortoise was flash.
He was massive and about 20 years old I think.

My tortoise was named Speedy

If I ever had a tortoise I would HAVE to name it esio trot 🙂

We had a tortoise when I was a teen - I called him Om. I was the only one in our family who understood why - they were very trusting sorts, now I come to think of it

@Catcrazy008 we have an Esio Trot - she's only about 18 months old so still pretty tiny but lovely!

Our tortoise is called Clifford. He's adorable.

There's something in the air about tortoises today - just spotted this on the BBC news: "Giant tortoise in world's slowest police chase"

My friend had one called Madge.
