Name your T's!

[Joanie]

There are some great names in this thread!! I may steal some.

Naming is not done equally at my house....some are named and some are not. It's pretty random. The ones that do have names are:
3 G. roseas--Talbot, Rosebud and Zita
L. parahybana mature male--Cosmo
P. regalis--Ravana (named for a hindu demon)
P. ornata--Sweeney (named for Sweeney Todd, the demon barber!)
E. campestratus--Zippy
C. brachycephalus--Boo (named for her surprise appearances)
C. fasciatum--Brady (I let a friend name it)
G. aureostriatum--Herman Blanco (named after a friend's guinea pig, because Herman Blanco is just such a fun name to say)

And then there's a handful more who are still waiting for names.

 

[Overmenneske]

These names are derived from mine:

• Brachypelma albopilosum = Andrea
• Aphonopelma seemanni = Andreano
• Grammostola rosea = Mindea

I DIDN'T feel stupid this weekend for posting my neophyte Grammostoli rosea questions --- (but I do now.)
I just hope there's enough ROOM for all my T's!:

The "bonita senorita rosita" (yeah, like lots of others here - it's pretty cerebral) :}

"THOUGHT I GOT TOUCHY,
THOUGHT I GOT RUSTY,
THOUGHT I'D GET PISSED & QUIT OR SHE MUST BE

"FAT & UGLY, BROKE, BLACK & BLUE--
"BUT I'M TRIM, FIT, SICK AND I'M BACK FOR ROUND 2" ;P

*** Oh, and I got my American Tarantula Association booklet in the mail today("Concise Care Guide for the 80 + Most Common Tarantulas)...
it was written by Dr. Rbt G Breene, II and reviewed by Stan Schultz(Tarantula Keepers Guide author) and Dr. Samual D Marshall. anyway looks to ME like an impressive compilation of further reference material, etc.
they list about 20 reccommended reference books, publications.

I dun name any of my pets that aren't capable of coming when you call them.
My carpet pythons are just "The male" and "the female" , my gecko has no name, neither do my G.pulchra or B.vagans.

I suspect if Im ever in the situation where I have more than one of any species I'll simply get color coded critter keepers rather than name them and then have to try to tell them apart (hard enough with snakes of the same age and species)

 

[sansoucie]

LOL! Never thought of it that way, but my dog's name is Jack and he doesn't come when I call him either...

;P

 

[petitegreeneyes]

Way too many to list. But I like to use names from the countries they are from, or favorite actors, a lot of Greek gods names, even a few cars names like Lexus and Mercedes. My P.metallica I call Patience because I had to have a lot of it until she came to the states!!

 

[protheus]

Well, I have a P. Imperator (scorpion) named Vidar, after the Norse god. The story goes, as I remember it, that Vidar is the son of Odin, who lives in the forest an keeps to himself most of the time. He's the god of silence and revenge. At Ragnarok (the viking armageddon analog), Odin is killed by Fenrir the wolf, and Vidar goes into battle, killing Fenris by ripping him in two with his bare hands. In doing this, I think Vidar becomes the only god to go to battle at Ragnarok and survive.

I also have a G. Rosea, but haven't decided on a name yet. Possibly something else from the Norse pantheon?

Copernicus? It seems to be quite naturally curious.
