I usually tend to ignore 'name my pet' posts in here, but we just found a box turtle in the road today, and I figured I'd post and see what y'all would name a turtle. After an invasive inspection of it's backside, we determined that it is a girl. Naturally my 6 year old wants to name it after his classroom pet turtle, Humphrey Bogart. Seeing as this won't really work for this turtle, I'd love a list of ideas for him to choose from.



Thanks for your help :)

That's from some children's book that I can't remember the name of, right?
I had to read that in 5th grade and somehow I still remember the little girl (Tabitha-Ruth) was nicknamed Turtle.

hmm is it a girl or boy?? :p
"Speedy" is so cliche I guess but every single turtle my kids ever had (4 to date) has been named speedy. lol

How about Elliott? or Maverick?? OK... I suck at naming animals. Sorry.

What about naming her after one of Humphery Bogart's leading ladies?

Lauren Bacall (wife)
Ingrid Bergman (co-star, Casablanca)
Katharine Hepburn (co-star, African Queen)
