Stand and Deliver- Tarantula Pet Names!!!

[ironwood]

G.pulchripes is "Goldilocks OBT is "Orange Bastard" curly hair is "curly" G.Rosea is "rose"

 

[Bemottled]

G. porteri - Rosey (because she was sold to me as a rose hair - oh well, no dissapointment there, she's still beautiful!)
A. avic - Jasper
A. seemanni - Sock (not really mine, boyfriend's, name is an inside joke)

 

[scott99]

P. cambridgei - April ( two reason, the first reason is the first molt I got from her was in the moth of April; and the second reason is that she had a attitude that reminded me of April Dwyer from park and recreation.)
L. parahybana - Talia

 

[KnifingPanda]

G pulchripes - Kazzi
G pulchripes - Caithe
L parahybana - Sieran
B vagans - Jennah
B smithi - Eir
N chromatus - Zojja
L difficilis - Zailey (originally bought her as a curly hair, and I figured Zailey would be the crazy Haley, and the hair on a curly hair is crazy )
C cyaneopubescens - Faolin
B albiceps - Doxa
B albopilosum - Katarina

The naming of all my T's follow the theme of video game characters.

 

[Coconana]

We have waaay more to sit down and name, but I'm determined to give one to everybody in the T room! Naming is a process in our household, as my partner and I both have to agree on any one tarantula's name before it can be 'official'. These are the ones that we've got named so far...

0.1.0 Nhandu Coloratovillosus | ~4" | 'Lillith'
-For obvious reasons... This thing's a Nhandu, for sure
0.1.0 Psalmopoeus Irminia | ~4" | 'Odo'sha'
-Named by my partner after an old Venezuelan deity, if I remember correctly.
0.1.0 Neoholothele Incei | 2.5" | 'Lil' Mama'
-We call her Mama for short, as she laid a dud sac a molt or so ago.
1.1.0 Avicularia Avicularia | ~4" | 'Caboose' & 'Sheila'
-Both Petsmart/Petco rescues, and as they're opposite sexes, we decided to name them after our very favorite RvB couple after we'd gone on a binge-watching kick one week. No regrets.
0.1.0 Grammostola Porteri | 5" | 'Crunchy'
-Named recently. We received a MM that had been named Squishy by his original owner, and during their first pairing attempt, our female found him to be quite... crunchy.
0.1.0 Pterinochilus Murinus | 6" | 'Priscilla'
-A pretty name for our big ol' angry girl. She's still a lady at heart, I'm sure!
0.1.0 Lasiodora Parahybana | 8" | 'Big Bertha'
-Also, for obvious reasons...
0.1.0 Euathlus Sp. "Blue Femur" | ~5" | 'Raggedy Ann'
-This thing looks like a ragamuffin, straight up. She's got a fuzzy, nearly bald little butt and always looks like a drowned rat. Poor thing needs a molt, but I'm afraid her name's going to stick even after she gets new armor.
0.0.1 Phormictopus Cancerides | ~2.5" | 'Loony'
-Also, also, for obvious reasons... Loony's our sole resident of the shelf we call the "Psych Ward".
0.0.1 Poecilotheria Metallica | ~1" | 'Houdini'
-Got lost in the T room for three days after escaping from a questionably sized ventilation hole in his/her enclosure (incredibly dumb mistake on my part ), so we figured the name was fitting.
0.0.1 Poecilotheria Metallica | ~1" 'David Copperfield'
-We had a good laugh over this one on the car ride home. Apparently, our flighty little Metallica naming theme is going to be magicians from now on. I don't care if David Copperfield turns out to be female --the name's sticking

female Avicularia avicularia: Twinkle Toes

I tried to give her a more dignified name, but my husband kept calling her Twinkle Toes, and it stuck.​

female Avicularia avicularia: Skyler

She lives in the sky!​

female Grammostola pulchra: Flash

If you shine the light on her or touch her cage, she's gone in a flash.​

female Grammostola pulchra: Bulldozer

When I saw her at Repticon, she was meticulously moving the woodchips from one side of her enclosure to the other.​

unsexed Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens: Muffet

named after the character from Undertale​

unsexed Acanthoscurria geniculata: not yet named

male Dolichothele diamantinensis: Wallflower

For the first couple of weeks, he was basically a fixture on the walls of his enclosure, never touching the ground or any of the furnishings. (My husband said the rainbow-colored tarantula looked like a plastic flower.)​

0.0.1 N. tripepii - Blondie

 

[8legfreak]

I only have two T's.

L. parahybana - "Lassie"
N. coloratovillosis- "Abby" after the crazy Brazillian girl on "Survivor"

I also wanted to share; 1 pueblan milk snake named "Alright Jack"

 

[The Grym Reaper]

You named your B.albopilosum Kitana??? A fluffy doofus called Kitana....better suited for your irminia

She was my first T haha, she's more "mild-mannered assassin" than "fluffy doofus" though, I liked "Shadowcat" for the irminia as it kinda parodies the common name "Suntiger".

 

[Charlottesweb17]

I have two names picked out as my sling is unsexed at this point.
If it's a female- Charlotte, if it's a male- Kronk. (Krona is one of the characters from the Emperors New Groove. Given it's an l.parahybana good name. The character in the movie I all braun.)

 

[Giles52]

B. smithi = Giles (named after a food critic).
B. albopilosum = Wednesday (we named our daughter Meadow, but she was almost a Wednesday so it seemed fitting to recycle the name idea for the fluffy T).

Spindee Laufurr my avic avic(pink toe)
