How to pick the right name

Pick a name you can say at the tank

Frogs do not come when called, but you will say the name a lot. Two or three syllables and one clear pun work best.

Match the frog's size and style

A huge name like Ribbiticus Maximus is funniest on a tiny dart frog. A big bullfrog suits something short and solid, like Tank or Bruno.

Let the class vote

For a classroom frog, shortlist five names from the classroom section and hold a vote. Students care more for a pet they helped name.

Use the frog's type for ideas

Tree frogs climb, pacman frogs eat and dart frogs are brightly colored. A name that fits the habit makes the joke land.
