What Will We Name The Cobra?

Celebrity puns
Hissy Elliott has already been suggested. The thing about going with a celeb pun name is that not only will it probably be dumb (see: "Hissy Elliott"), but it's a little too of-the-moment. This name needs to have staying power, cobras (probably) live for years.
Something Egyptian
The snake is an Egyptian cobra, and as such she could be named something like "Cleopatra." There are hundreds of people who will submit this name. Better options: Nefertiti or Hatshepsut.
A Bronx reference
Not sure what this would be exactly. Especially since it's a girl snake, so calling her "Steinbrenner" or something would be weird.
Bronx Zoo's Cobra
What the Twitter (which is getting really rather old) suggested.
Something counterintuitively normal
Just call the snake Ashley or Lauren.
So, those are our options for naming the cobra. We'll find out the winner on Thursday. Start brainstorming!
