[alsih2o]

Our family has a new addition. Can anyone come up with a cool name for it?

 

[DMH]

Fang (its better than Beak)

Shelly

Bob (or Fred or George)

Tom, Dick or Harry

What is the common name of that species?

 

[jonesy]

Konna. Short for Kilpikonna. Which means turtle.

 

[Desdichado]

That's a snapping turtle, unless I'm mistaken. How'z about...

Footmauler.

Toe-slicer.

Hand-cruncher.

Sounds a bit like Warhammer orc names, but it seems appropriate...

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

You could call it Turtle.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

The only name to give a turtle is Great A'Tuin.

Well that explains the interest in my little pond critters.

Hare

Fleshripper
Thumb-Crusher

You could go all Sci-Fi Channel and call him 'Turtle!' or 'Death Snapper!'
