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 🐢 🥰

Omg I’m loving all these suggestions so far. I think tortellini/tortellini is a strong contender at the minute. Only problem is my 3 year old is struggling to pronounce it but I think that makes it even sweeter!
