What are the best/ funniest/ coolest names your tarantulas?

My favorites in my collection are
1. Mr. Pringles. (S. subspinipes) he curles his antenna when he eats and it looks like Mr. Pringles face.
2. Michael Buth (parabuthus transvaalicus) this ones pretty lame. It's a take on Michael bluthe from arrested developement but with buth because of the scorpions order.
3. Dig dug (H. arizonensis) I can here him digging all night and even during the day sometimes.


Sorry I don't have any of my T's named. I just posted here because I figured other people would have names for their T's and not so much for scorpions and pedes.

Okay I'll play. I have a B.auratum named Burton cause when I first got him his big bald butt made me think of Gus from Psych

Jerome (G.Pulchripes) This one was easy! Black and Gold tarantula/Pittsburgh Steelers are my favorite football team/ Jerome Bettis is one of my favorite Steelers.

Freddy (P.Cambridgei) Green tarantula with orangish/red markings and Freddy Krueger my favorite movie character with the red and green sweater.

Those are just a couple of mine the others have more random names.

I have an unidentified beetle larvae named Schroedinger, because it loves in a jar of dirt and most of the time I have no way of knowing if it's alive or dead.
I named my A. geroldi Kunoichi because she has ninja feet. My A. diversipes is Frankie because s/he looks like s/he was patched together from a bunch of different colored spiders. And my mom named my versi sling Mushu because she thought it was hilarious that he lived in a recycled food container.

I like to name mine after inanimate objects. Staple gun. Motherboard. Petrified pretzel that I found under the couch. Yarn. Old mayonnaise jar. The possibilities are endless.

Not again.
LOL these threads come up weekly.. I'll give you the two funniest to me. B. smithi was Tostito, but changed it to Tortilla after it grew and turned out to be female, and named so.. well..because she's from Mexico duh.. And my G. rosea is Bibi, which is short for Big B*tch, cause she was fatter than any rosea I've ever seen at the time I got her.

My two most "clever" names (at least I think so anyway) are:

-Fangore - E. cyanognathus (because of his blue "fangs")
-Kat Von T - G. pulchripes (instead of Kat Von D it is T because she is a "T"arantula...I feel like i shouldnt have to explain this)

Honorable mention to Dr. Zhivago, my X. immanis. I dont think the name is really clever, but I think it sounds pretty cool/bad arse.

I love this. Anyone with a pet hole (and who watches Big Bang Theory!) can relate!

I just got started on the hobby myself, at least owning my own. Been around inverts and exotic pets forever. Anyway, my LP is named Meatball and I have a couple arriving tomorrow (Homoeomma sp blue and a PZB) named Taco and Burrito respectively. I've got a few other names picked out for some incoming Ts, but they aren't relevant since I don't own them yet. Not sure where I got the food item motif, but I intend to stick with it.
