Oh, yellow-belly turtle of indeterminate gender: I name thee Steve if you are a boy turtle and Stevie if you are a girl, in rememberance of Stephen Robert Irwin, that great wildlife warrior.
Oh, read-ear slider turtle of still-to-be-determined gender: you will hereafter be called Jacques if you are a boy and Jacqueline if you are a girl, in honor of the great underwater explorer Jacques-Yves Costeau.
Go forth, dear turtles and bask in the light of your heating lamp.

Excellent choice of names. Keep the memory of our fellow wildlife warrior alive.
Y'know, Steve discovered a new species of turtle off the coast of Queensland -- Elseya irwini — Irwin's Turtle.
Recently, I've taken to calling my blog Steve. I like to tell people that I have to get home because I haven't checked on Steve all day.
You gonna post a photo, right?
I only recall talking to Steve once about turtles. Actually tortoises. He has a few at his zoo...
I miss the old guy - he told the best dirty jokes...
Hmmm, if the Yellow-Bellied Slider grows to over 8", you'll know its a female :)
Samegoes for the RES...and obviously, large front claws are a give away for makes ;)
