You could start by learning their scientific names and how to spell them correctly. :cat:

I usually name them by their scientific name and how many I have atm.
For example:
Phormictopus cancerides 'A'
Pretty boring, but gets the job done!

@BobBarley is your sister young? I swear kids come up with the best pet names.

I name mine after South Park characters. G. pulchripes male "Cartman", G. pulchripes female "Bebe". Imma name my G. pulchra "Token", my B. smithi I'm still deciding on what character in South Park fits it best...
