[smallara98]

0.0.1 Aphonopelma seemani - Sammy - Because I dont know its sex. So if its male, it can be Sam
0.1.0 Avicularia versicolor - Medusa - After the snake thingy lady
0.1.0 Brachypelma albopilosum - Cutie Pie - When she was a sling, she was the cutest thing in the world!

0.1.0 Grammostola pulchripes - Blaze - Because she has very striking colors
0.0.1 Grammostola pulchripes - Bojangles - The name is goofy, and is for any sex!

0.0.5 Nhandu chromatus - ??? - I dont have names yet... What will I do with 5 names?

 

[BlackCat]

A. avic "Avic", A. versicolor (2) "Versi" and "Versa" , A. geniculata "Jenny", G. rosea "Rosie"... you get the picture.. LOL

 

[MichiganReptiles]

Not all of mine have names as of yet.

G. pulchra - Bono. (no reason)

A. geniculata - Java (coffee colored right now. I know that will change)

A. versicolor - Skittles (taste the rainbow.. lol)

A. avicularia - Double A (so far that is what I'm calling it because I don't really have a name yet.

The rest have no names at the moment.

 

[Darox]

I named my new little P. irminia "Pelona". In venezuelan spanish it means - an impersonation of death / the grim reaper. Plus i think Pelona is a really pretty sounding name

 

[ametan]

G pulchra - Elvira
G pulchra - Scout
New River - Tiny Tim
GBB - Ultimate Warrior
A avicularia - Thing 1
A avicularia - T2
A avicularia - Outkast
A hurriana - Trapeze
A metallica - Ulrich
B smithi - Indie
B vagans - DuVall
+4 numbered slings
G rosea - Sylvia
G rosea - George
N chromatus - Orphan Annie
P scrofa - Malcolm

I ended up giving them all names mostly because it was easier to keep track of them that way.

 

[belljar77]

My B. smithi is Little Ronnie James, the H. gigas is Giggity Gigas, the violaceopes is Ziggy Stardust, my A. chalcodes of dubious origins is Ol' Girl. When my pulchra reappears, he/she will be either Glenn Danzig or Joan Jett. I think my cambridgei and irminia may be Sid and Nancy. The rest have yet to distinguish themselves.

 

[mersch]

Mr T the Dinosaurian Tarantula !!!! 6 year year old grandson named him/her, the other 2 grandkids agreed (ages 3 and 5)!!!! LOL After the name became official, found out it was the real Mr. T's b-day!! Mr T doesn't seem to mind the name............ LOL

 

[mikkwa]

I start all my Ts off with female names 'til I know for sure they're males. All spiders have always struck me as female, think it's the 'ol black widow/males always eaten myth that rules my emotions.
Grammostola rosea - Tessa T. Tarantula, she's my first. It just fit her.
Avicularia versicolor - Monique Le Spidere, sounds exotic.
Brachypelma boehmei - Conchita Lolita Taranchula,it's from Mexico.
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens - Raecine Le Rainbow Spider, sounds multi-colored
Avicularia Ulrichea - Willa Starburst Spiderett - it looks willowy
Coremiocnemus sp. blue - Dessiree Darla Tarantula, name just came to me.
I'm new at this hobby so naming my Ts is part of the fun. I love walking up to their enclosure and calling them by name as if they really cared!

 

[BorisTheSpider]

I normally don't name them , but a few have earned names :

Speed-ball ~ my juvie OBT escape artist ( two threads already about this fella )
Zig-Zag ~ female A.avic ( she walks in a funny little zig-zag pattern )
Beast ~ adult female L.parahybana ( she's just big and eats like a monster )
Rage ~ sub-adult female G.rosea RCF ( meanest T that I've ever owned )
Tub ~ baby musk turtle ( he/she just looks like a little tub )

 

[Sky`Scorcher]

B.smithi - Marian; just because it sounds mexican ;P

B.emilia - Ria; named after a girl I like who I rarely see in the campus. No, I'm not a stalker. :8o

A.geniculata - Evory; because she's black as ebony and white as Ivory. Not the most creative, I know.:?

H.Lividum - Cortana; because she's blue like the girl Master Chief talks to about his missions

P.regalis - Naomi; I just thought it was fitting to give her that name


and the others are still slings. I don't like giving them names until I have confirmed their sexes.

 

[spyd3r1]

My A. hentzi is named Locksley. My little Lp and Gp i have not named yet.

 

[Shanigirl]

I also like to name my T's. I have only listed the ones I have named so far. I have not named many of my slings yet, waiting for them to get a bit bigger and for their personality to emerge..

Brachypelma boehmei: Fuggi (Italian/Neopolitan for escape)

[GK.]

I only named one of my tarantulas. A G. rosea that I named Taylor, after my ex. Cause they're both fatties. And evil. :evil:

 

[mouldylemons]

I have 4 T's now but only one is named as of yet.
My L. parahybana is named Fifi.
Always gets a good laugh from people when they ask me her name.

Versicolor female - Rosy

G. Pulchra male - Big Papa

G. pulchra male - willy nelson, he likes country music I have determined

Versi sling - gandalf

irminia sling - lil' bisquit

 

[curiousme]

We enjoy giving our Ts names. It makes it feel like they are part of the family to call them by a given name, instead of the scientific.

Rose ~ 3 guesses on the species
Lilith ~ P. cambridgei
Squidward ~ MM A. avicularia
Oblivion ~ H. sp.Vietnam
Solace ~ B. smithi
Enigma ~ A. sp.Guatemala
Naraku ~ G. rosea RCF
Jack ~ B. vagans
Yoshimi ~ A. hentzi
Pythagorea ~ B. emilia
Mulder ~ G. pulchra
Scully ditto
Nosferatu ~ N. chromatus
Envy ~ A. versicolor
Twitch ~ A. purpurea
Tala ~ P. regalis
Blink ~ T. gigas
Sisko ~ P. irminia
Bashir ditto
Odo ditto
Quark ditto
Dukat ditto
Dax ditto

 

[thebugfreak]

i never named any of my pets except my pet dog. its because i am terrible at naming them, and i personally like calling my Ts and other pets by their latin names.

 

[Lapidary]

Great names here, makes me want to get more and more Ts so I can give them cool names. I'm naming all my Ts after me and my friend's RPG characters. To us their names are like an inside joke, so other people don't really get why the they are so deviously awesome. Sometimes I decide it for similar looks (e.g. hair colour = T's colour), behaviour or just because I "get a feeling".

A. geniculata - Alexa (0.1, named after a famous, happy-go-lucky female gunsmith)
B. smithi - Damn (0.0.1, named after a short, fair-haired boy who works as a night-time guard in a prison)
L. parahybana - Shamra (0.1, named after a woman, a former Mossad agent, who hates everything and everybody; also an arabic word for "ready for battle")
N. chromatus - Cadaver or just Cada (0.0.1, named after a really, really weird doctor who tries to bring the dead back to life)

Btw, curiousme, your P. irminia's name means "sister" in Finnish.

Even though I know that's not how it's meant, I'm getting great enjoyment from thinking you give your tarantulas a last name of ditto.
