Ok...went to the Reptile and Exotic Animal show at the Tampa Fairgrounds today and came home with my first crested gecko. Not sure yet if it is a male or female...won't know for a few months. Looking for assistance in finding a name for it. All suggestions welcome!!
These are my first pics of the little dude. I am sure there will be many more to come so if anyone has any suggestions on how I could make these photos better too - always appreciated!

There's an ever-increasing list of "gender-neutral" names, like Dana, Dale, Kim, etc., as well as a few which were traditionally male, but have largely transferred to be become female, such as Evelyn and Leslie. |

I like Rex, but my roommate had a Chinese Water Dragon with that name already. Any other takers for suggestions?

Spike or Spikie - Ridge - Bronzie - Cobber - Cresty - Goldie for a girl - and have plenty more if you need them..... I like Ridge the best & Goldie for a girl.

How about "Pamper" - Works for boy and girls. Pamper is a brand name for cat food in South Africa. If my cat gets hold of this cute guy you will not have to feed tha cat or the "Pamper"
By the way - my house is full of these cute guys. I counted 8 around my backlight yesterday - it is also now time for the little ones to come out - my house are full of babies.
My cats are loving it though and I save on cat food - hence PAMPER.

Thank you everyone for all the great suggestions. I will definately keep them all in mind as I have a feeling I will be getting more of these great little guys in the future. Right now, since this one has a penchant for jumping, I have decided on Banzai! He is a kamikaze little dude so thought it was appropriate.
