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!

Michelle.

I have 2.. Olive and Esmeralda. They are fab creatures. As it was St David's day how about Blodwyn?!

Meleri was St David's grandmother apparently. That's a pretty name. Or Non was his mother.

Or how about Owena, Sian, or Rhonwen?

Jonquil.

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

Wont be many others either.

FreeNiki · 02/03/2017 15:28

Most tortoise will probably have corny names!

I had a tortoise as a child called Henrietta Smile

EssentialHummus · 03/03/2017 20:31

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

NinonDeLanclos · 03/03/2017 20:33

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.
