Naming can be difficult. Personally, I like to observe my pets first and then try to think up a name that fits their personalities. You can't pick the first name that pops into your head, mind you; had I done that with my sugar gliders, they both would have been named "Spiderman." :P
This site is very helpful to me whenever I need to think up a name:
20000-names.com
.
It helps you select names based on cultures, countries, and tons of other categories like fictional characters or colors. It's also nice because it tells you what the name means. If you wanted to search for a name that reflects your glider's white color, for example, you get things like this:
MALE:
AILPEIN: Old Gaelic name, possibly of Pictish origin, meaning "white."
ALBAIN: Perhaps a French form of Gaelic Ailpein, meaning "white."
ALBAN: English name derived from Latin Albanus, meaning "like Albus," i.e. "white."
ALBANUS: Latin family name meaning "like Albus," i.e. "white." It is related to the place name Alba which comes from the Celtic word Albion, used to refer to the whole island of Great Britain.
ALBERT: Anglicized masculine form of Irish Gaelic unisex Ailbhe, meaning "white." Compare with other forms of Albert.
ALBIN: English name derived from Latin Albinus, meaning "like Albus," i.e. "white."
ALBINIUS: Gallo-Roman form of Latin Albinus, meaning "like Albus," i.e. "white."
ALBINUS: Variant spelling of Roman Latin Albanus, meaning "like Albus," i.e. "white."
ALBUS: Latin name derived from the word albus, meaning "white, pale-skinned."
ALBY: Pet form of English Alban, meaning "like Albus," i.e. "white."
ALPIN: Scottish Anglicized form of Gaelic Ailpein, possibly meaning "white."
... And the list goes on.
I just think it's really neat. Try the color page out to get brainstorming:
