[Zombie]

Roman goddess of undertaking.


Nice boots by the way Amanda.
Do I smell a new avatar?


Oh, wait...no Dirge artwork on them...

1.) You are correct sir, Libitina is the Greek/Roman goddess of funerals!
Congrats, you will a cookie!
2.) Thank you, I like them too, he he he
3.) I think I will stick with Lenore and Roman Dirge for the Avatars

If you get the idea, the names make them seem less frightening to people who meet them, and that was the general idea, AND, it works. Although I do get some strange looks from people who I don't know very well :?

 

[Rourke]

I would name it "Fergie."

And I wouldn't feed it. Ever.

 

[MyNameHere]

@Rourke=> What was that about thread abuse?

@Ker=> I didn't see a "Spike", "Harmony", "Willow", "Faith", etc...are these names waiting for t's to take them?

@BBConrad=> Nice names, very clever!
'k, I have 3 versi slings and they are:
Thing One
Thing Two
Blue Fish.

rosehair

i have only named 2 of my T's my A. versicolor is named TERMINATOR, because he kills crix for the hell of it and does'nt eat them.
my rosehair because my gf started calling her "rosie" and the nickname stuck

 

[Lars Butcher]

I have a weird thing with naming my T's. Some have names, the majorities don't. I only name them if something strikes me off that bat. I named my T. blondi 'Bacon' because she sounds like bacon on the griddle when she hisses at you. My first tarantula I named Vlad in hopes he'd be an aggressive killer and impale its food with the evil of Vlad Tepes...turns out its a kind natured G. Rosey and only eats when its really hungry. Occassionally, I'll catch him mothering a pinkie rather than eating it.

Out of them all though, my G. pulchra has the coolest name. We named her Raegan, in part because of the girl that was possessed in 'The Exorcist', but also because we bought her they day President Regan died. Definately my most meaningful of them all.

Hey, speaking of evil can you guys help me come up with a name for my H. lividium? Like Pheonixx was saying about his A. Versicolor, he kills pinkies just because he can. Very evil!

~Lars

 

[Pheonixx]

my versicolor kills crix like that LOL, at 1.5" i wish he would take down a pinkie. that would be interesting. he be eating for a week!

Erm...you could call it "W".

Or, on a less politcal note you could go w/something like "Dracul" if that's not too much vamp lore for you. "Beatrix Kiddo" has been taken by someone else on the boards for a lividium...maybe "Draco" or "Malfoy" or "Snape" if you're a Harry Potter fan. Or not, "Malfoy" would prob'ly make anyone a good name for their wicked bad beastie.

'k, I'm all idea'd out...

 

[heering80]

I have 4 Ts and their names are Eelis, Lorencia (a.k.a. Lori), Hiltu and Maan a'joa.

Eelis is just a funny Finnish name (in my opinion). It's a males name altough he's a female genic. ..oops.

Lorencia reminds me of something Spanish.. She's a versicolor and quite vibrant in colour.

Hiltu is a Finnish nickname for Adolf Hitler. Heh.. ..P.murinus

and finally Maan a'joa is from a traffic sign meaning something like bulldozing or dirt removal in progress in English. In Finnish it's written together but I tried to give it a little hawaian sount to it. It's has rightly been given to my little C.crawshayi sling because it digs a lot!

 

[David_F]

I've tried naming my Ts but I never seem to keep the names for them. The only one that has a name right now is my P. murinus. Her name is Ibilisi. It means Devil in Swahili.
