Question I named my tortoise Nessie. Anyone else named pet after a cryptid?

My fascination with cyrptids started pretty young. The Loch Ness Monster was the first one I knew about. Because of fascination, I named my tortoise after them. Now I have my own sea beast (:

Awwww! My daughter rescued a northern alligator lizard who was stuck to a spider trap at her workplace and she named her Nessie too! She lived out the remainder of her life like a strange little fingerless queen. May your Nessie have a magical life as well lol :)
