Thrixopelma ockerti gets my vote.
Understand and agree. Unfortunately the kids have outvoted me. (Often the case in these sorts of issues.) So the compromise is this: they have to know the scientific name. They have to be able to pronounce and spell the genus and species. If they do a report for school, they must use the scientific name. But in the house, they want to give them pet names.

Sounds like the only reasonable solution is to get a second ockerti so they can be Itchy & Scratchy
Both apply to a single t...and the fact that it will be watched by the kids like a...well....show;)

But yes, always buy multiples when you can, its very much to your advantage.:)

Nothing wrong with having a fun name vs the scientific names. Both my Ts have silly names but the kids know their scientific names as well.
