Fun story: When I first got my tortoise (I was unable to verify at the time I picked her up) I went with the name Eggbert, because I wrongly assumed that the tortoise I would be picking up would be male. Anyway, I guess that idea was stuck in my head, cause I never bothered to actually check when we got her (she was in a travel carrier). So the whole ride home and for 2 days as she adjusted I just called her Eggbert. Finally when she became more comfortable with me handling her, I checked and sure enough female. I kept the name Eggbert cause she actually responds to it and I would feel bad for tricking her! ;) I think it's not bad, anyway. If you like the name go for it!
I was told the Hermann I adopted was male so never bothered to check,and 3 years later he laid an egg lol
and I did name 1 tort Happy ,which was a big mistake,so then changed it to Stomping Norman,which suits him perfectly

We have a cat named Happy. She was named by a 3 year old with a sense of humor. She was raised by a pitbull and is our junk yard shop cat that attacks racoons, dogs, possums, etc. She is a tough b****.
