Okay, you know we have a new corn snake in the house. (See “Jaeden has Escaped” and “A Crocodile Monitor on the Loose” for the background.)

We need to come up with a good name for her. Your suggestions are welcome. (This oughta be good …)
Welcome to the Wilcox Family weB LOG, your source for the latest Wilcox news, anecdotes, and rants; and, as Jack Benny quipped on his first radio show (March 29, 1932), “There will be a slight pause while you say, ‘Who cares?’â€â€

Lucifer
How do you know she’s a girl?
Mark,
You come up with such nice names for your pets and yet for mine you give me those….how sad. Anyway, I don’t know what sex it is and honestly, for a snake, I really don’t think it matters too much. So any serious names you want to offer will be considered. 😛
Well, Mark, you wanted to know:

As snakes go—a lovely specimen! I’d call her Jewel. And, by the way, Happy birthday Doug.
Hi Fran,
I like that name. It’s a possibility.
Hi Doug & Gang, Happy Birthday Doug!! The only possible name for a snake is just plain GUS!!
Happy Birthday Doug!!! As for the snake….perhaps Shewrapsalot??? Kinda Renaisance…lol
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. It has been a very happy one, especially with Nichelle being healthy for the past month. I’m 37. I think that puts me about halfway to old. (I refuse to consider myself old before 70.)
Hmmm. I kind of liked Lucifer for the name. 😉
Thanks also for all who responded so far; this topic is generating quite a few comments, which is something I hope the BLOG continues to do.
We actually picked Naomi’s middle name after soliciting opinions from those who read our BLOG. Naomi Nichelle won out (suggested by our friend Juan Brea in the Dominican Republic) because he thought of the perfect nickname to go with it: NaNi.
We call our daughter, Juliana, “Jewel,” so please don’t call the snake that! Please!
Jewel it is! Thank you, Mark, for making such a clear argument in favor of the name.
::evil laughter:: Now wouldn’t Juliana think it was cool to have a snake named after her, hmmm. I really like the name Jewel. I think it fits our new pet very nicely.
I’ve decided on a name for my new snake. Jewel is her name. The name really matches her. Fran, thanks for the suggestion.
I’m thinking of buying a rat. I think I’ll name her Nani! 😛
NaNi would be honored!
Well Mark, if you could get a rat, then there’s no reason for you not to have a snake. 😛 and you are welcome to use NaNi or any of the other kid’s names. They would think it was cool, too.
