Hi Guys!
I need some help. My sister ( who lives all the way in Brazil ) is going to give me a pet sloth. I just can't think of a name. If this helps it is a she and it's a three toed sloth. hmmmm...... Please tell me if you have any ideas. I'm all ears.
I think you should name him socks. So that you can confuse all your friends. :-)
Try this random name generator. I got "Elfrieda Bienvenida" on my first try, it seems like a reasonable sloth name to me:
ELFRIEDA --
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English
Means "elf strength" from the Old English element ælf combined with þryð "strength". The use of this name was revived in the 19th century.
BIENVENIDA --
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Spanish
Pronounced: byen-be-NEE-dhah [key]
Derived from Spanish bienvenido meaning "welcome".
Hello,
Enteresting to have a sloth as a pet. How about the name Pogo? Have fun and good luck with your pet. I'm sure you don't have to chase it around the house.
If your sloth is coming from Brazil, maybe you could choose a Portuguese word for its name. Something that means something to you, or just something you like the sound of.
I like Quinta, myself.
You may not want name your sloth Thursday, though.
I tend to use Rink Works fantasy name generator for any name issues I have.

please dont call it Mohammed you may end up in Jail,lol.....jimmy
p.s i think a great name for a sloth would be Speedy
I tried imputting your name "Krista" and "Three taod sloth" etc here http://freespace.virgin.net/martin.mamo/fanagram.html which is a cool anagram generator, but i could not come up with anything cool..
I like Jimmys choice Speedy:)
How about "Lightening??" In honor of you being a boxer?? Blessings on her long and safe trip!! Earth Angel!!
Hi I'm Sara
mysister was having aboy cat and she named it MEME , but my brother and father didn't like it their excuse was it's become little big (grow up) & it's derty .........and they sold it .. & we (I & my 5 sisters) cryed so much because we like MEME alot .
I wish you name your cat MEME
your cat look so much like my sister's cat..
have you chosen a name yet? Krista, I am sure everyone is gasping to know.....jimmy
lol glad someone else didnt know, what exactly is a sloth, not that I couldnt look it up on google (and land on hub about it LOL) sorry just trying to make someone laugh..
Jerrico
hey Jerrico is a wonderful name for a sloth! yea. (seriousely)
hmmmm... a sloth. How about:
Junk
or
Slow Boat
Where does one get a pet sloth? I need me one.
Okay, so it's Sunday evening and I'm catching up on computer work and I am waiting patiently for the new name and arrival date of your sloth!!?? I so need to get a life!! Blessings, Earth Angel!!
how bout sloppy the slothy? would you like a pet psychic reading? visit hub freepsychic.
here's another gem from the '80's: How bout trippendiculess? tri, like 3, get it? '80's geek humor.
hmmmm how about RAPIDO?
it's spanish speedy (lol, get it???)
have fun with your pet and go give him a hug for me!
do have a nice day.
I like naming things after words that may be a joke/pun. Slugabed would be amusing for a sloth.. That or Nitro if you want to go with irony...
How about " Molasses ", Sloth,s move as slow as molasses, re: thick brown syrup, that pours very slowly.
I'm guessing by now the sloth has a name. I can't remember the name of the sloth in Ice Age,.
How about Ziggy (just different) or Speedy? Ziggy sounds more like a lizard name, maybe.
What a great thread! Inquiring minds want to know if you've chosen a name! And, yes, I want to know too - where DO you get a pet sloth? Where do you keep it? Interesting....
I like the suggestions based on "speed" or lack thereof. Don't sloths sleep in trees, hanging upside down? How about "Topsy" (for topsy-turvey)?
Good luck - we want to see photos!
Steph
I have read the whole thread and still need to know:
Did the Sloth arrive?
What did it get called? (it's not like you need a name you can call out in the park, is it?)
How is it? (living comfortably under the couch or in a mansion in the yard?)
What tricks have you taught it so far? (rush out and alert you just as visitors are leaving?)
OMG a sloth? They are the most adorable animals ever. You probably named her by now, but I've always been fond of Margot.
Just tell her to take her time getting there. No need to hurry.
I mean, it's taken 11+yrs so far, I hope the life of a sloth is longer than that.
No, if the sloth ever existed in the first place he is dead by now.
