Tips for Naming Your Bearded Dragon

Some people like to wait to name their pet until they get to know their bearded dragon a little better, to see what kind of personality they have, what their favorite foods are, or what their adult colors end up being. Others find the perfect name right away and don't choose it based on anything in particular but rather because they like how it sounds.

If you don't already have some names in mind, try thinking of ideas that remind you of your bearded dragon's colors, texture, or even the way it walks, runs, or glass surfs. If that's still not helping, think of movies and TV shows with dragons or bearded characters for some ideas. Remember that with whatever name you choose, you'll have to be comfortable saying it to your family, friends, vet, and pet sitter, so vulgar and inappropriate names are not a good idea. Additionally, bearded dragons can live up to 10 years, so this name should be one you think you'll like for the foreseeable future.
