I have 1, I'm still at the star of my tort owning life, and plan to have more when I have my own place.
He's a Russian Tortoise: Franklin-but i call him Nank when discussing him and call him Nay when i'm talking to him... needless to say i got frustrated at my uncreative name so we've made it work.

Franklin not creative???? Try Bob...even spelled backward he's still Bob. No nickname I can post:rolleyes:

"Bob the tortoise" is more creative than "franklin the tortoise" in my opinion, mines named after a show and sooo many other people did that too, but there aren't ton's of Bob tortoises. Bob isn't a frequently used pet name which keeps it creative in my opinion.

Just have "Terry Tortilla the tortoise". He is a rescued sulcata. Tortilla came to be because my phone kept auto correcting tortoise to Tortilla so I kept telling friends I had adopted a Tortilla.

One Hermann's named Elsa. I did NOT name her after the character in the Disney movie, "Frozen!!!" I named Elsa a year BEFORE that movie came out!!! :p
I also have a fossil turtle named Gompa, which is the Tibetan word for "monastery." :)

Red-Footed Tortoise named: Scooter

He's a fast mover scooting along and I thought it was fitting. Plus his juvenile face reminded me of The Muppets character Scooter.

<---- I mean, seriously! Put little red dreads and a pair of glasses on him :p
