Default Name that snake!

I need SL's help on this one.
I inherited a new snake this afternoon when I went to pick up some food for my other snakes. Apparently, the previous owners were not taking care of her and the breeder where I get my snake food offered her to me, knowing that she would be given a proper home.
She has a very good temper, which is surprising considering the obvious signs of neglect (evidence of a previously broken tail and signs of mites).
Here's my dilemma. Every snake in my family deserves a name... ...something that represents them in some way. I need a good name for her so I can stop calling her "Girl". Please help me come up with a good name!
She's an Albino Corn Snake.
Here's a pic! Isn't she beautiful!

I had actually thought of that one myself yesterday evening, for the same reason. My wife just didn't really like it. ...not sure why.

I'm also a Boidae fanatic!
This new girl is my only Colubrid, and is, by far, the smallest of my family!
I have a Albino Burmese Python, 2 Columbian Red-Tails, and a Hogg's Island Boa. My big Columbian is massive for his breed. He is well over 9 feet and weighs close to 50 lbs.!
Here's a pic of Damien, my Albino Burm. He's the puppy-dog of the family. He'll follow me around the house if I put him on the floor!

Here's a pic of Raziel, my big Red-Tail, from a few years ago.

WOW! what a beautiful red tail, i love them so much. I want a burmese too. i currently don't have any snakes, but my list of what i did have is this:
Red tail boa, Ball Python, Albino Cali king, Albino Corn, Pueblan milk snake, Bearded Dragon x2, Schneiders skink, Anoles (can't remember how many) and a chinese water dragon, and a gecko but i don't remember what kind. Not all at once of course. But in the next few months i'm going to be getting a brazilian rainbow boa. But again, those are some beautful snakes dude.

I like to name stuff very un-animal like. I had a Cat named Fred. So I would pick a name like Gladys, Ingrid or Gloria.

I love snakes!! I would love to have another albino Burmese but my wife says no. My son has a small ball python, he is pretty cool, and she says that’s plenty.

Wow! That's quite a variety of a collection! I've been nuts about snakes since I was a small boy. I used to bring home the dangerous ones when I was younger. My parents always thought it would be the death of me! I drove them absolutely nuts. For some reason, I just LOVE snakes! Thanks for the compliments on my babies. I'll let them know you are impressed!

After being around Raziel as he grew and grew, and after seeing the personality of Damien, my wife is much more tolerant than I ever thought she would be. She doesn't want to get too close, but she does recognize their beauty. I even catch her talking to Damien on occasion. I knew I loved this woman from the start!

Nice! I am assuming the name takes its basis from the term, serpent. ...any insight into a literal meaning?
Also, I'm sorry to hear about your car, C. I'll keep an eye open for any stolen gear on the 'net. IMO, the only good thief is a dead thief. If I catch one, they become feed for my pets!
Thanks for the compliments, everyone.
