Tips for Naming Your Bearded Dragon

Some people like to wait until they get to know their pet bearded dragon a little bit 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 simply because they like the way it sounds.

If you don't already have some names in mind, try thinking of names that remind you of your bearded dragon's colors, texture, or even the way it walks or runs. If that's still not helping, think of movies and TV shows with dragons or bearded characters for some ideas. Keep in mind 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 recommended. Additionally, bearded dragons can live up to 10 years, so this name should be one you plan to like for the foreseeable future.
