Are you thinking about adopting a Moss Ball Pet?

Do you already have your very own velvety, vibrant, green pal?

Some people acquire their moss ball through inheritance. Others have received marimo as a gift. No matter how your new friend has come into your life, now is a great time to think about the name that it deserves.

The name you choose could highlight it’s rich history, interesting scientific aspects, or a combination of things! 

Naming your moss ball should be fun and if you start to stress over it, think about some quick basic names that might later become nicknames like:

• Mossy
• Greenie
• Momo
• MBP 

When you’re ready to return to the naming process, take a moment to remember how much love, luck, and happiness this unique organism is going to provide. 

Sometimes, naming your Moss Ball Pet after someone you love, or a place where you felt lucky or happy, is the perfect way to express your appreciation.

 

Fun fact: The world’s largest (and oldest) marimo is said to be 95 centimeters, or 37 inches, in diameter! 

 

What’s In A Name?🌹

There seems to be a rule or tradition for every special moment in life, naming something or someone is included. Some families keep the tradition of giving their sons the same name as their fathers. That’s how you end up with names like Squilliam Fancyson III.

If you’re still tossing ideas around, wait a few days, let your moss ball have some time to settle in its new environment, and then consider some of these suggestions:

• Try something silly! Moss Ball Pets are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, that’s a fact. Consider using a portion of the previously mentioned word as their nickname, for example, Cali, Dodo, and XP are all fun options.
• Use the name of a famous someone or something. If you have a favorite celebrity or cartoon character, your moss ball wouldn’t mind.
• Do a quick search. Have you already thought of a certain aspect of the name? Maybe you want it to start with an ‘M’ but you can’t think of many names?
• If that’s the case, then take a few minutes and do some online research to see a list of names that other people have created. You could also use a name generator.
• Keep reading to view the names other Moss Ball Pet owners used for their pets!

Everyone’s name has some kind of meaning. If you want to know about what your name means, you can conduct a search to find multiple websites to lead you in the right direction!
