Do you name your tarantulas? What are their names/species? If you have too many, what are some of your favorites? I love hearing what others have picked!

Not all of my tarantulas have names yet, but the ones I have named are:

• female Avicularia avicularia: Twinkle Toes
• female Avicularia avicularia: Skyler
• female Grammostola pulchra: Flash
• female Grammostola pulchra: Bulldozer
• male Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens: Muffet
• male Dolichothele diamantinensis: Wallflower
• male Acanthoscurria geniculata: Genicula

[bakuuwu]

I have only 4 now that i can call my own but there will be more in the future

G. Rosea - Rosie (Sadly turned out to be male)
G. Pulchra - Henry
D. Pentaloris - Shiggy (Named after Tomura Shigaraki )
C. Versicolor - Stanley (Named after my female best friend)

last 3 ones r still slings except Shiggy but she/he just builds in his molts into his burrow

 

[WolvesInSpaceMarines]

Right now, I only have one named.

T. albo--"SpiderBro"

As I've said in other threads, I'm not very original.

 

[rosenkrieger]

I have one tarantula at the moment. A P. Metallica named Azure.

I also have a male/female pair of hissers named Hades and Persephone.

 

[Rozwyrazowana]

MM T. Albo used to be Merida The Spidy because he was supposed to be a girl, now he is Gryffindor.
GBB female juvie Jaddzia (jad - venom in Polish, Jadzia - legit female name)
B. hamorii female Jadowitusia (similarly to Jaddzia - a mix of "jadowity" - venomous and a legit, but a very rare name Witusia)
Both Jadzia and Witusia are diminutives, so the names sound kind of cute.
Slings (with the sex assigned at random, not as obvious in English, but in Polish all nouns are gendered):
- 2 P. cambridgei - Tygrysek (Little Tiger) and Oliwka (Little Olive),
- C. elegans - Pan Serduszkowy (Mr. Hearty is a closest translation),
- N. chromatus - Struś (Ostrich),
- N. incei - Voldemorta - I feel it's a girl, so "a" is added to make the name sound feminine. She is a good girl, but we couldn't name her for so long she became "She-who-must-not-be-named",
- N. incei - Trzewiopij - entrails sucker? Well, that one is not a cute one at all, but it's a true Devil's Spawn.

[Matt Man]

My daughter names most of them, and they are typically heroic. I will just drop a view, since it would be a long list and I don't think I know them all.
Most have middle names, typically starting with a V
OBT - Agamemnon AKA Aggy
C Versi - Lucretia AKA Lucy (middle, for example Violetta)
GBB - Calpurnia AKA Cal
A Eutylenum - Mavis
G Pulchripes - Freyja
G Pulchra - Cassius AKA Cash Money
A Genic - Sly (which is short for something)
B Hamorii - Sleipnir
A Chalcodes - Lennox AKA Chonk
P Rufliata - Sasha
P Regalis - Yeyva ( I am probably spelling this wrong, correx Ewa but pronounced as I spelled it)
We have another Chalcodes who is unnamed of yet we just call Fumbles cause it's kind of a klutz and it isn't sexed yet.

 

[Arachnid Addicted]

Only my first one had a name (Agatha), and it was given by an ex-girlfriend, who also named my first frog (Elvira). Lol.
