HI, I'm new here, too. My Red Eared slider is Sheldon, whom I found out at the vet is a female.

I have 3 RES! I have 2 males, Sandy (5 years old) and Jimmy (3 years old). I have a female RES too! Her name is Bubbles and she is 2 and a half years old.

I have two yellow belly sliders. Stubby and Webber. Stubby is missing the tip of his tail. He is the more out going one though. They are too young to know the gender yet, but I'm hoping for boys since girls get so big.

Last Wednesday my Brother and I took in a couple of Red Ear Sliders a friend was going to throw into Lake Ontario!! - Mine I named him Brutus after the Popeye character - partly because of his size and also because he managed to do some damage to his smaller aquarium mate!! My brother is looking after him - He is called Little Joe - guess that shows our age lol

Hi, I just signed up, but I have read this board ever since I got my turtle in June 2012. His name is Tinky.

My RES was already named when I got him, he is called Franklin

I have two names picked out tentatively for my turtles. "Tsav," which is Hebrew for Turtle, and "Kame," which is Japanese for Turtle.

My friend goes, so, you've named them "Turtle" and "Turtle"? You might as well have named them Pete and Pete! (Bonus points if you get the reference!)

Anyway, I'm converting to Judaism, and I'm planning to learn to be fluent in Hebrew, and I'd like to recognize that heritage. As to Kame, well, hey, gotta go with something Japanese - we've got a few Japanese turtle name origins running around here, be it Ninja or Samurai or what have you. Too much fun not to.

Hey katie_turtle - I like your naming schema.

Our first turtle was a rescue named Timmy. Our second, third, and fourth turtles were subsequently named Timmy by the kids. And then we got one more adult and a baby, which were both named Timmy. Only one has kept his original name, and that's Chewy, and he's easily identifiable because he's a bit of an odd color for a RES. It seems a dog gnawed on him as a baby and so he's got one wonky leg and his shell is lighter than the others. He is unofficially "Chewy-Timmy" but we just call him Chewy. The baby turtle is Baby Timmy.

All the adults are in our huge converted pool pond. Baby Timmy (hatched in January and rehomed from a friend who was moving) is inside for the kids to learn about turtle care with.

I suspect all turtles coming into this house will be named Timmy.

[katie_turtle]

hehe, thanks Timmy's Mommy! Yes, it looks like you're stuck with that name for a bit.
