A name for your newt

Think of names that reflect your new pet's unique features, such as its long tail, its fiery underside or its resemblance to lizzies. I once had a pair of fire-bellied newts, and I called them Pyro (from pur, the Greek word for fire) and Whiplash (because of his long tail).

Here are some names for boy newts:

1. Fiero
2. The Real Swim Shady
3. Newton (Newt-on, get it?)
4. Torpedo
5. Sluggy or Buggy (because they love slugs and bugs)

And some names for girl newts:

1. Ms. Wiggles
2. Red Hiding Wood (because she's half red and hides under the driftwood)
3. Enya
4. Ebony (means 'black')
5. Scarlett O'Hara (Scarlet means 'red')
