Jacob means 'deceiver'. :wink: Makes sense for a Venus fly trap.
Wilton is Celtic, possibly means 'tricky'

Or you can check here for misnomers under the 'JUST, FAIR, HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY' section. (Or trouble-related names on page 4.)

Snappy..?

I had one of those once. I should buy another one, they're really cool. I used to want one of those that could eat whole humans - like the ones in Scooby Doo.

Jacob sounds like a cool name. Does it mean Deciever in Latin? I'll keep this name in mind

I'm pretty sure it's Hebrew, since it's a Biblical name.

Could always name it after Audrey from the "Little Shop of Horrors"

A planet other than Venus, such as Mars.

Maybe you can name it Bitey?

No, I'm not just making a Simpsons reference, I'm suggesting because of what Venus flytraps do in nature.

I think it's probably Hebrew, too.

You do get the name "Iacobus" (Jacobus) as the Latin form of the word James, on coins of King James 1, and James 2, though.

Also the period when James 1 reigned is properly known as Jacobean.

I think it might have been more appropriate for me to have put this information in the "Say something boring and pointless" thread!
