Help me name our new pet tortoise

[Sunflower1650]

A 5 month old Hermann’s tortoise has arrived in our family today. We won’t know if it’s male or female for a few years. Struggling to name him/her.
Suggestions by the kids so far has been Voldetort, Myrtle, Tortellini and Steve (my eldest is a HP and Minecraft fan). Any suggestions please?! Photo attached in case this helps 🐢 🥰

Oh but with the spelling Maurice!

I love all your dc suggestions except Steve.

What about Reginald?

I like Tortellini, bit if singular it should really be Tortelloni.

I'm not so fond of Tort as a nn as in law a tort is a civil wrongdoing, and etymologically tort forms the basis of a lot of words like torture, tortuous; it comes form the Latin for twisted or wrong.

😂

I ma getting tired. I read that as "I had relations with a tortoise called Sonic."😬

Great name though ...

Aww, he/she is so cute, had a tortoise as a kid, would love another one. Some great names here, do let us know what you decide op.

Esio Trot (as in the book)

Prudence or Gerti

Septimus

I like Tortellini

Gonzales
Trigger
Farrah (Mo)

Specs (as in tortoiseshell spectacles)

as a fellow tortoise owner I can confirm……. they are not slow!

I LOVE Tortellini/Tortelloni!

ours is called Tin Tin 🤣

are you 100% sure it’s a Hermans? I only ask because the colour and markings look a lot like mine……. who is a Horsfield

EDIT - ignore that I’ve just googled a Herman’s and it’s not the kind I was thinking of 🤣🤣

Schumacher

Bolt (since he will be so speedy)

Dasher
Streak

Oh Tintin is great!

I also like Lionel or Priscilla.

😍. Whatever you decide to call him / her, remember they will have to live with it a long, long time. My suggestion: Cedric for a boy and Hilda for a girl.

I love tortellini or tortellini.

I do also like Voldemort. They could be Mortie the Tortie for short.

He/she is SO CUTE.

I am trying to think of other ideas but I don't think I'll like any as much as Tortellini.

Really like Cedric!

Ha ha, I have my limits...

Love tortellini 😂

teddy
victor
torsten
hector

Wally Shufflebottom

Lettice

Love lettice!!

So do I. Yet I also like Myrtle.

You need another girl op: Lettice and Myrtle.

My old tortoise was called Speedy and he really did motor. We lost him so many times over the years.

We have a tortoise called Jude - my son was going through his Beatles phase ….
Also thought of calling him tortellini!!
Most of the time I call him Mr T!! T for tortoise - not very imaginative but I rarely call my pets their actual name!

Im loving the F1 driver suggestions - or go for a team name
Mclaren for eg.
Instead of Morris - Norris
