Can you suggest a name for a baby girl which should be true as per Islam?
The best name for a Muslim boy is the name of one of Allah's prophets, such as Adam, Ibrahim, Musa (Moses), Ibrahim (Abraham), Isa (Jesus), Yayha (John), etc. Another category of desirable names is those of servants of Allah (God), such as Abdallah (servant of God), Abdal-Rahman (servant of the compassionate God), Abdal-Rahim ( servant of the Merciful God ), etc. The best names for Muslim girls are those of the family members of prophets, such as Maryam (the mother of Jesus), Eve, Sarah, Hajar, Aisha, Bilquist (the Queen of Sheba), Aisya (the wife of Pharoah), etc. The feminine version of the names above also are suitable, such as Amat-Allah, etc. Other categories of good names includes desirable attributes, such as Sabr (patience), Jamila (beautiful and kind), and the names of famous people in Islamic history, such as Bilal, Sumaya, Khalid, etc. Read more here: http://islam.about.com/library/weekly/aa090399.htm http://muttaqun.com/muslimnames.html

Do turtles change their shells?
No,
With turtles the shell is part of the animal's bone structure and is alive. The platelets making up the shell grow with the animal and you can age the turtle by counting the rings making up the platelets.Yes, much larger turtles can hurt and even kill smaller turtles.Turtles need lots of space so if you have an over crowded tank you need to separate them. Not necessarily. If your turtles have an appropriate amount of space they will happily exist with new additions to their group. However, if you are keeping turtles in an aquarium and in very unnatural surroundings, the stress alone of their situation often results in cannibalism.
If the turtles are of the same species, it is extremely rare for larger turtles to kill smaller ones. This is an inherent instinct that helps to ensure the survival of the species. I have, in my 30+ years of breeding turtles and tortoises, found that larger turtles may attack smaller turtles of a different species, either in combat or for food. For this reason, you should never mix turtle species in a habitat without paying careful attention to the difference in their sizes.

How do you make a turtle think you are harmless?
If you can work out how to make turtles think, you will be very famous and very rich. Short of that, do everything that is recommended for the turtle by the pet shop. Provide it with lots of clean (probably distilled, unclorinated or declorinated) water, and enough wholesome food. Don't put it in an area where it is stressed with too much noise, heat, etc. Then the turtle can just go about the business of being a turtle. My guess is that happy, healthy turtles are wondering: "How can I make those big, two-legged creatures realize that I am a wild and mighty force to be reconed with?"
