Turtles are pets that normally don't interact too much with the people who adopt them, but they do look amusingly adorable. For this reason we must try to name them with longer names than those used in other pets that require names with few syllables.
If we put phonetically appropriate names, use treats accurately, and have patience and luck, perhaps we will get our turtle to confidently walk towards us to claim your meal.
On our site we are going to suggest more than 110 names for male, female and unisex turtles.

Land Turtles
Land turtles interact more than freshwater turtles. Although both appreciate and recognize the strange being that feeds them. Land turtles have a livelier temperament than their aquatic counterparts. When choosing a name, if the turtle is young, visualize what it will be like when it grows up and give it a name that will be suitable for many, many years.
Freshwater turtles
Freshwater turtles interact very little with humans. Only the being that feeds them on a daily basis has any kind of interest for them. Freshwater turtles are flatter and more streamlined than their terrestrial counterparts.
When naming them, consider this circumstance and choose the softest names. Also discover some Care of freshwater turtles.
