Okay! So, my boyfriend Mark got a baby bearded dragon today at the reptile store. We're not sure if it's male or female because the guy said "This is either female ... or a male that's poorly hung."
Anyway so we're looking for suggestions of what to name it.... Ideas anyone? We might do a poll later with our favorites. We're weird and goofy people so think up neat names. As an example: Mark already has a Corn Snake... He named it Cornflake.
So, We need Male or female names for this Bearded Dragon Lizard:

You're just greedy. You want to keep all the cool animals to yourself.

Yeah heaven forbid we want to encourage conservation, limit poahcing and quasi-legal trade and prevent interruption to habitat of antive animals that are illegal to keep as pets here without expensive and hard to get permits.

Yeah, and next I plan to buy a koala. I hear they're really soft. ^_^
But that's not what this thread is about. I want names, not criticism. ;)

Sorry you can't buy them there, but they're bred and sold in captivity in America. If you want a beaver or moose for a pet, I won't complain about it. Just treat them right.
...and give me a name for the beardy.

Awww. You just don't want animals exported because it'll take you longer to find an animal and chase it like Aussies always do.

you know, I must admit that I think it's funny that Aussies need to get permits for animals that are there there anyway, but americans don't.
And he won't be getting a moose or a beaver, because the aussies are hardcore with their animal quarantines. The equesterian part of the olympics wasn't even held in Australia because of it. hardcore, indeed.

You actually come close to showing why Aussies are so against this idea of keeping natives as pets, which is also why we are so strong with quarantine.
Conservation of our environment. Between land clearing, salination and introduced pets we already have a hard enough time conserving our natives. We don't need new problems coming in (hence s ix months quarantine), now do we need a few hundred members of a native species to be removed to send to breeders in America illegaly (I can guarantee original stocks of these animals were taken from Australia illegaly).
Why doesn't the trailer trash that has this lizard, or trailer trash that keep sugar gliders instead have pet racoons? A wolf? A mountain short-horned lizard?
Why the need for australian natives?

I do have american native animals too.
Besides that, any animals that are being sold in the states now were bred in captivity here, so they're not affecting you guys at all. My beardy was not stolen from his little aussie mother to be sold here. I'm sure the last whole bunch of generations are from here.
I'm glad not all australian natives are as bad-tempered as you. I like my lizard.

Zim, of course.
Duh.
You know, it hadn't really occurred to me, but looked at comparatively to most other countries I've been to, Aussies as a whole are pretty hardcore conservationalists - even though we wouldn't think of ourselves as such as a general rule. Of course, given the demands that our tiny population puts on our huge landmass, we can afford to be.
A population just a tiny bit larger than that of the New York metropolitan area, in a country covering the same landmass as 82% of the United States can afford to do that.
Yes, vast amounts of it aren't useful for anything practical, but the point remains that we have an insane amount of natural resources per capita. I still find it amusing that I've met people whose family property ('ranch', for you Yanks) is bigger than Texas.
Of course, this sometimes results in some really stupid decisions - remember the 'parrot' debarcle? Yeah, we won't build a huge wind farm here because somebody got their panties in a bunch about a possible danger to a parrot. That's wonderfully sound...er...environmental...thinking. (You know, given that we still burn coal for practically all our electricity).
Fuck the UAE and every citizen getting oil money, I want the government to put something in place where every Australian citizen gets uranium money. In a few decades time we'd all be wonderfully, decadently rich as demand goes steadily up.

Want a fun semi-conservation issue?
Wait till level 3 or 4 water restrictions reach you and talk of recycled water for drinking comes up.

My current pet hate is the stupid, short-sighted, knee-jerk reactions to the whole nuclear issue.
Whenever it comes up, the unwashed masses start having visions of Chernobyl and the like and start rambling on about safety and environmental issues. Every. Single. Time.
Let's not look at the relative safety records between nuclear and coal, shall we? Ignore the current/next generation reactors and how they work. Shut your mind to the simple realities of nuclear waste storage (particularly with Australia's highly geographically stable profile) and turn a deaf ear to the relative environmental damage that coal does versus nuclear.
Forget that we are sitting on top of an extremely large percentage of the world's viable uranium reserves. Water issues? Did you even listen to the proposal involving a nuclear reactor running a big-ass desalinisation plant?
Nope, it's nuclear, it must be bad.
Conservationalists/environmentalists I can handle. Stupid ones, I cannot.

Nuclear power plants? No problem. You have a higher chance of cancer living near coul plants (although I'm not convinced about the security issues here, hippies, serial pests and homosexuals yachties with screwdrivers have made one too many scares for me).
Mining Yellow cake in heritage listed areas and places like Kakadu? Harder to convince me.
Kakadu? hehe, Australia has weird-named places.

Indigineous name.
Better known as Ayer's Rock. In fact, still known as Ayer's Rock to most Aussies as well. It's the name we grew up with, it's the first one that comes to mind. The next generation will think of it as Kakadu, though.
Given that Olympic Dam in South Australia is the single largest deposit, and there's nothing even for hippies to care about within a coo-ee of there, I have no real concerns on that front.
As far as security goes - terrorists have yet to discover the awesome power of the screwdriver (although they do have the stanley knife). Besides, let's face it, nuclear power plants would have an insane level of security - particularly in the currnent environment. Hollywood aside, terrorists conducting fully-fledged military operations on hostile soil is not something that happens, and you know that's what it would take (not paramilitary, military).

You're thinking Uluru.
Kakadu is a national park area http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakadu. Its where they want to put the Jabiluka Uranium mine.

If we're going for weird indigenous place names, how about pretty much every state that wasn't a colony? I mean, come on, Mississippi? Arkansas (pronounced "ark-n-saw", not "ar-kansas" despite sharing a border with Kansas)? Idaho?
I'm partial to Punxutawney and Sinnemahoning, myself. Speaking of which, those would be great names for a bearded dragon. :D
