1. You can enter as many times as you like, I would like to run this for a month so say till about October 10th which is a Monday, and it will end at Midnight 12:00 sharp PST. If for some reason I do not get any names I like, then I will extend it.
2. would like to have as many names as possible ,female and male. Also I like names in other languages, not just English, but if you give a name in Japanese for example, give me the meaning in English so I understand! ;)
3. If Two people give me the same name, I will give the person who gave me the name first according to time here on the forums the win, but if it is within 5 minutes, there will be two duplicate prizes as I understand time differences, computer glitches and server technologly because two people can be writing also this post at the same time.
4. Prizes will be appropriate for all Pleo owners, Ugobe, Innvo and RB , and there will be at least a second and third prize winner and also other surprises. I will post photos of Lizard Pleo along with a video so you can see Pleo in motion.
Do not be afraid to ask questions or if you want more photos, I may post them anyway. I also may be listing another Pleo here to get a name for it as well, So make sure to list your name, the meaning if you have one and I will keep track of everything. If I need to extend the deadline I will, but I will not end this early to make sure everybody gets plenty of time to get an entry in. Also prizes will be mailed out and you won't have to wait forever! I know there are some great creative people out here, so with this contest, you need only think of names, no excuses for not entering! Good luck to everyone! ;D

I already thought of some!
1. Iris (which is a very colorful type of flower and the word for rainbow in Spanish is “arco iris” and I thought that would be fitting for this colorful pleo! ;D)
2. Milly
3. Leilani (Hawaiian for “heavenly flower” and is pronounced lay-LON-ee; it is also unisexual)
4. Yogi
5. Dakota
6. Jinx
I like Iris the best for the pleo, but I also like Leilani and Jinx... :)
Might add more later. XP

I like Leilani so far and have a special fondness for the name Dakota, but he was a solid white little cat that I took care of , part of the cat colony that Daisy comes from that was relocated...All great names. ;)

When I was a little girl I had rabbits who made tiny rabbits (funny how that works :P) and I loved naming the tiny ones names as:
Snowflake, sugar, cookie, candy, dollface, miracle, wonder...
I don´t know if any of the names has been suggested yet, sorry If they have :-[
Post by: Lina on September 29, 2011, 12:06:52 PM
Abetzi = Yellow Leaf
Adahy = Lives in the woods (with RWM ;))
Adsila = Blosson
Ahany = He laughs
Alo = Spiritual guide
Amitola = Rainbow
Cikala = Little One
Helaku = Full of sun
As a child I always liked the name "Linda", it´s a common name in swedish but in spanish it means beautiful.
Post by: allosaurus on September 29, 2011, 06:09:21 PM
Midori (Which means 'green' in Japanese)
Calypso (Which is also a name for both genders)
Mignon (Meaning 'delicate' or sometimes 'cute')
Fia (According to my research, this means 'Dark of peace?' Hm)
Male names:
Beauchamp (Always thought that was a dashing name! It means 'beautiful field' in French)
Gavin (The meaning of this name is disputed, but it may mean 'little hawk;' it comes from 'Gawain')
Gryphon (Gryph for short!)
Fandango ( :D )
Casimiro (Spanish, meaning 'peaceful')
Bambi ( ;) )
Gunther (It's German, and means 'warlike,' but it's still a very handsome name...)
Shamos/Shamus ('he who supplants')
A few more random names....
Jabberwock
Bandersnatch
Behemoth
Cinnamon
Sycamore
Darby
Avalon
Caesar

also Kat and Bonus thank you for your suggestions too, I have a good list of names now and I think I have some good names for other pleos. Lina, I like the rabbit story, my daughter and son both had Satin Rabbits when they were growing up and you are right, if anyone ever wondered why they said, "multiply like rabbits, " all they have to do is get a pair of rabbits and they will find out super quick, My GOD Multiplicity is an understatement for sure.........and I love the fact that baby rabbits are called, Kittens! LOL. :D
I thank you guys for giving me the meaning of the names too, it makes it easier than having to look them all up. Great job guys, it is getting better and better with the new bunch of names submitted.

This is a great unisex jacket, orange with faux fur hoodie, velcroe closure under the belly or battery compartment, with two pockets on the back. This looks just as good on a female as a male, it looks great on a Blue or Green Pleo esp. May be a little clashy with Pink though! Lightweight but protection for those cold or wet months fast approaching.
Ok, last thing is a photo of some cow print type socks in a cute white brown and pink print. I love these socks and they look so much better than in the photo trust me!
RWM Ok, you have till midnite then the deadline is in.

What a lovely surprise! We've been away for a long weekend at a family"do" and this was great to come back to. Thank you very much RWM. I must say that if you'd asked for votes I would have been attracted by Adahay - it just seems so appropriate. Anyway, congratulations to Fancy, Lina and Willow.
There were such a lot of great names it must have been hard even to narrow them down to your contenders list.

Thank you so much RWM! I really hope Rosella Adahy is happy with her new name :) It truly is a great name!

We had a good time over this holiday period with lots of visitors so the computer was hardly touched. I had expected to get back to the site when the last visitors departed but unfortunately they left a parting virus behind which has laid me low until now.
It will be good to catch up with all that has happened on the site but I expect that will take some time.
Here they are wearing the hats, collars and socks and gazing longingly at presents!
