I have had CutiePie for quite some time.. I LOVE the look.. but the name.. MEH. It was just something i came up with because i think that she looks cute.
Now im wondering about renaming her...

Sofare i only have one option in my head, Sahara (Tamed the worm in silithius). I wanted something to go with the dessert that i tamed her in, i somewhat like Sahara.. but feel its kinda well not quite rigth. Im not looking for some Egyptian theme name, but rather something dessert like.. and sadly the only dessert i know is Sahara..

I could use a little help before renaming my golden treasure

Another name i have thougth of is Beloved... but somehow i dont think it fit a worm.. Long time ago, i saw someone with brokentooth and it was named Beloved... always wanted a pet named that for some odd reason :D.. but a worm ? :)

Hmm, there's the Sinai Desert in Egypt, so perhaps Sinai.

Desert Names that could make good pet names:

Gobi
Kharan
Sandy (after Little Sandy Desert in Australia)
Tanami
Monte
Sechura
Negev
Accona
Ordos
Mojave
Syrian
Yuma
Borrego
Vegas (technically a city name in Arizona but it is also a desert region)
Zzyxx (pronounced Ziz-six; also a city name and considered a desert region)

I was thinking... are there any "Lush" deserts? Not just gold and no water/plant/animals etc... Maybe a desert with alot of sand, but also very lush oasis?
I almost have a story going with the worm that she roams the desert (the no water part of it), but during fullmoon (or some other natural event) she appears in the lush oasis to feed on the apples/water/green etc.. making her a nomads tale.. the tale about the golden worm..

yeah im not very creative when it comes to writing :P


@ Veph.. i like the name Sinai.. But its also a religious name that means something for many people, so due to that i wont name my worm Sinai.. else my favorite next to Sahara

Vegas is another one of my favorites... beside being a desert region it has something to do with gold (due to the money you can win there). Will fit her collor :)

I let the tread run a little longer then i think i decide :D

Hmmm, lush deserts huh? Let's see what I can find for you.

Oases found in various deserts throughout the world:
Bahariya (this name also reminded me of the name Baja which is another desert region)
Farafra
Gaberoun
Kufra
M'Zab
Ouargla
Siwa
Tafilalt
Timimoun
Tozeur
Tuat
Huacachina
Cienega (Cienaga is also the spanish word for "spring")
Mulege
Al Ahsa
Al-Qatif
Azraq
Ein Gedi
Liwa
Loulan
Marin
Niya
Tabas
Turpan
Yarkand

Guelta (a particular type of wetland found in deserts)

Random suggestions:
Dusty
Visage: means "a look" or "vision" - I think worms have a lot of character in their facial appearance :0)
Eureka
Midas (everything King Midas touched turned to gold)

Desert = Abandon = Lämna (In Swedish)
Desert = Öken (Swedish)
Or maybe Woestijn... That's desert in Dutch if I remember correctly.

Heh im danish my self :) have thougth about naming my pet ørken.. but there is a danish comedy grp called Ørkenes Sønner (Sons of the dessert), and they have really rude, sexual humor so i kinda stayed away from that !

Alrigth lets have a poll!!


1: Cienega (also means spring in spanish)

2: Vega$/Vegas (not sure i can have the $ :D)

3: Sahara

Vote is up :D


EDIT: Since i couldt name the worm Vega$, i went with Sahara. Thanks all for the contribution :D Now my little golden wonder has a new name

Accually i tried to name the worm Godis, best word for candy yet, but since its also english for god is, its not a valid name :D

Förutom några små stavfel klarade du det där fint. :P

I tried naming a pet Godis too, I was kinda' sad when it wouldn't let me.
