Name your T's!

[cryptly]

All of my sexed T's are named, with one exception.
There's Rose Red and Cuddles, both P. murinus. Molly Grue is a G. aureostriata. Anna the G. rosea. An E. pachypus named Pearl. Tiny the L. parahybana. Last but not least, Garcia, a B. albopilosum. :)

[darkeye]

As I might have said before, here on this board or possibly some other, I name all my T's because they are pets... in the sense that a pet is a family member.

My first (sold to me as a G.rosea) was named, as expected, "Chili". My last purchase, a good-sized Scolopendra subspinipes was named "Grim". I have a T.apophysis named "Bubbles", too!

No, you are not crazy. If you carry photos of your T's and show them as someone would show pics of their kids, well... ;)

[jbrd]

A couple of weeks ago I built a second terrarium setup. It's still under construction and when I'm finished I will have space for an additional 9 T's. That's why I was able to get myself a couple of new additions.

[Gwegowee]

I like to name all of my pets/animals 1. because you can seperate them easier, 2. shorter names-- because I dont like saying Aphonopelma Seemanni every time I want to mention her and A.S. sounds bad. and 3. because its fun giving cute names to Big scary (to most people) meat eating spiders and other animals.

A. Seemanni-- Miya-- short for Hanikamiya which is Japanese for Shy, because she is very shy
G. Aureostriata--Daisy-- named by a friend, because she likes the name.

I also will be getting some more slings about mid Jan:
species I get may varrie from this list.
L. Parahybana--maybe Sam or Samantha??--because Brazilian Salmon... IDK maybe something with a Heavy name.
B. Vagans--not sure... possibly Kuroi Ken Akai.. means Black and Red in Japanese, but also sounds like something that that one Australian dude would say when he sees the spider! or maybe just Aki (japanese for Autumn or Fall)
C. Fasciatum now D. Fasciatum--Probably Tigger--because Costa Rican Tiger Rump
Rose Hair--Rose?? not sure
Curly Hair--Curly?? not sure

Need 2 spiders to be named Pinki and the Brain... but which ones?

[Aleks32]

Hi all... just couldn't resist the vanity factor of putting in my tarantulas' names too!

B. Smithi 1 -- Rosencrantz
B. Smithi 2 -- Azreal
G. Rosea 1 -- Guildenstern
G. Rosea 2 -- Damuzi

And for the record... Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.

[AtomicCareBearX]

Avic. bicegoi sling (now deceased)- Brick red pinktoe - Bubbles Kitty Bumblebee

Avic. avicularia - it's current nick is 'Betty', we haven't named it permanently yet, this will probably become the 'middle name'.

Avic. versicolor sling - it's current nick is 'Evil Betty', we haven't named it permenently yet, this will probably become the 'middle name'.

I have sort of a ritual for naming any creature I get, be it cat, lizard, tarantula, whatever... it always has a first, middle, and last name... and the last name is ALWAYS a transformer (ex: my cat's name is Jynx Astro Megatron) :D

[tarangela2]

these are the names of the spiders i've had:

Jorge, mexican red leg
Mr ZigZag, also a mexican red leg
Missy Brown, not sure but looked like brown velvet
Hairry, g rosea
Gilligan, also g rosea
and last but not least
Zeke, He's not a Freak!, a seemani

[redknee_freak]

B. smithi is Leanne
G. rosea is Rosea
P. murinus is Elvira
A. seemani is Galima (female)
A. hentzi 1 is Rocky and the other is Cliffhanger (cuz he is all over the tank and lid and just hangs there)

[GootySapphire]

I think naming them is kind of uh..I dont know. But I dont do it.

[ShadowSpectrum]

A. avicularia - Not sure of the sex, but if it's female, it's going to be Siouxsie Sioux, and if it's male, either Danzig or Vlad the Impaler.

[dojang]

So most of my T names are either in bad humor or just due to a crazy and offbeat sense of humor. If you agree with why I named them some, perhaps you need to get out of the house a little more:


B. Smithi: Parker (as in Peter Parker, the Amazing Spiderman)
G. Rosea: Octavia
B. Boehmei: Rhapsody (as in the song Bohemian Rhapsody)
A. Versicolor: Wedge ( the Antiles Pinktoe)<--If you get this one, get out of the house right now! :-D
B. Albopilosum: Fro (cuz its a curly little ball of hair)
G. Aureostriata 1: Charlotte
G. Aureostriata 2: Elysee
P. Regalis: Makari
A. Seemani: Arana (spanish for spider)
A. Genticulata: Aragog
L. Violacepedes: Aniline

[Siienceofdeath]

Just got my T's today and apparently my name for my GBB was appropriate since he attacked the paintbrush I was using to get him in his enclosure..

GBB - Bengalo Dand (Devlish Tooth, since she/he's so active and attacked my paintbrush lol)
G. pulchra - Calo Bal (Beautiful Hair, since she/he will look like velvet)
A. purpeau - Alba Bengelan (Purple Speed Demon, nuff said)

[Scorpendra]

[Amanda]

B. smithi, Roxanne (dearly departed) :(

They all get female names (wishful thinking) until I know otherwise.

[Gidget]

A geniculata ~ Penny (female)

[Nightshade]

3 G. rosea
- Desiderius, my first spider, was named by my brother

- Asmodeus got her name because at the time I wanted a name that went with Desiderius. And then came

- Rosie because I got lazy.

2 B. smithi
- Tweak, after the South Park character, but I refuse to spell it "tweek."

- Dot, for being such a tiny little dot of a spider when I got it.

2 N. chromatus
- Penny, when I got him as a sling, I felt that getting him to penny size would be a huge accomplishment because at that point he was the tiniest sling I had ever seen.

- Vicious, because it's a little bigger than Penny was when I first got him and it still runs from live pinheads, lol. And also, Sidney can be a boy OR girl name.

T. blondi - Blondi, because it's a big brown spider, lol. I thought about changing it to Bitsy, but he's been my boy Blondi for so long.

H. lividum - Devil, my first lividum was named Satan but it died so the second one became Devil. If ever I get another of this species, I'm going to name it Glory Hole.

B. boehmei - Brat, the little hair kicker really lives up to it's name.

H. maculata - Spook, because it's so easily spooked.

Holothele sp. Columbia - Norte de Santander - Lecter. I had 5 of these little guys and I thought it would be neat to try and communally house them. But the enclosure apparently wasn't large enough, so I ended up with one big one.

G. pulchra - Ghost, it's always blending in with the substrate.

C. cyanopubescens - ? -I used to call this one "Changeling", but now that she's a juvie she's not changing so much with every molt and I have yet to come up with a good enough name for her.

B. klaasi - ? - Another un named confirmed female. I might call her Kay (K for klaasi) but my grandmother wouldn't be happy to share her name with a T.

B. albopilosum - Lucky because it escaped and I found it in bed by almost rolling over on it.

P. irminia - Jailbird for it's striped butt. Also, when her legs are fanned out they remind me of birds' wings.

A. versicolor - Punky. "Hey you! I'm going to use you as a jungle gym, rub hairs into your skin and squirt crap on your arm every single time you take the top off my house. How cute and fuzzy am I now?"

B. vagans - my boyfriend named it Vincent, but it's Redbum to me.

P. regalis - Poe, because it sounds right. If it turns out female I can call it Lenore.

Ralph

OMG I can't believe how many you have!! My husband would sh*t!!:eek: :clap:

[betuana]

Ok, here's the names of the 14 Ts I have so far, and explanations of them...

-Grammostola Rosea (RCF), female - "Flower" after Flower of the KMP and Meerkat Manor. Figured she was a rosie from the desert, and Flower was referred to as the Desert Rose, so it fit. Plus Flower seemed to be a spunky, smart, charismatic Meerkat, and I find that my Rosie seems to have quite a bit of personality as well.

-Avicularia Versicolor sling 1, unsexed - "Clotho" the first aspect of Fate in Greek Mythology. Spins the threads of life.

-Avicularia Versicolor sling 2, unsexed - "Lachesis" the second aspect of Fate in Greek Mythology. Weaves the threads of life.

-Avicularia Versicolor sling 3, unsexed - "Atropos" the third aspect of Fate in Greek Mythology. Cuts the threads of life. Fate was often portrayed as a spider, and spins the 'web of life', so with as much web as these 3 spin it seemed like an appropriate set of names! :)

-Lasiodora Parahybana sling, unsexed - "Nyx" the primordial goddess of Night in Greek mythology, who stood at the beginning of creation, and was a being of exceptional power and extreme beauty. Being a T that will get large, be a dark color, and who I have to sneak in at night to stand a chance at seeing, the name seemed to fit. I also end up feeling like I'm leaving 'offerings' to it at the burrow entrance in hopes of a sighting later on when I put the prekilled crickets in! {D

-Brachypelma Vagans sling 1, unsexed -"Dozer" short for bulldozer.

-Brachypelma Vagans sling 2, unsexed - "Digger"

-Brachypelma Vagans sling 3, unsexed - "Mole" - These guys have been digging and tunneling like mad! :D

-Brachypelma Bohemi sling, unsexed - "Aidan" This is an unisex Irish Gaelic name meaning "Little Firey One"

-Brachypelma Smithi sling, unsexed - "Bob" {D I figured this was the 'classic' T of the hobby, a 'traditional' one to have, and the name is traditional in my family (2 grandpas and a few cousins with the name), as well as being a long standing (classic) joke among my friends I grew up with (male and female - I had a friend of each gender who argued over which one was allowed the name of Bob, and who tried to get teachers to refer to them by the name...even though it was in no way, shape or form related to their names!) The name just felt right for this little guy. {D {D {D

-Grammostola Aureostriata sling, unsexed - "Orla" This is a Scottish Gaelic name meaning "Golden"

-Poecilotheria Rufilata sling, unsexed - "Faran" This name is from a favorite series of mine - its the name of a roan warhorse, who is unusually smart, fairly aggressive, very powerful, fast, and full of personality. Seemed like a great name to give to my pokie. :wicked:

-Cyriocosmus Elegans sling 1, unsexed - "Aphrodite" the Greek goddess of love and beauty.

-Cyriocosmus Elegans sling 2, unsexed - "Freyja" the Norse goddess of love and beauty. They will be quite beautiful when they get their colors, and the little heart shaped markings they get called out for a name related to love. :D

[hasani1408]

Zane ~ Avicularia avicularia, Guyana Pinktoe
Isa ~ Avicularia versicolor, Antilles Pinktoe
Jiiga ~ Brachypelma albopilosum, Honduran Curlyhair
Lamatra ~ Brachypelma emilia, Mexican Redleg
Vilmaris Varian ~ Chromatopelma cyanopubescens, Venezuelan Greenbottle Blue
Aiken ~ Grammostola auerostriata, Chaco Golden Knee
True ~ Grammostola pulchra, Brazilian Black
Samara ~ Grammostola rosea, Chilean Rose
Alice ~ Grammostola rosea, Chilean Rose

Yet to be named:
3 Brachypelma albopilosum, Honduran Curlyhair

Finally thought of names for these three while studying for my Calculus final:

Sine, Cosine, and Tangent. :D

These are the only two T's left from that collection I had years ago. That is a little difficult to look back on what 'used to be.' I hope the T's I had to give up for free in the sale/trade forum found their way to good homes...

The ladies:
Grammostola aureostriata (Aiken)
Grammostola pulchra (True)

Aiken means something like "oak" or "little oak" if my memory serves me correctly.

True is named after a piece of music from Sient Hill 2, which was playing in-game when she arrived in the mail (at only 1" in LS):

UDKx1Rp1yAA

Here are the other T's in my current collection that I have already named:

0.0.3 Aphonopelma hentzi (Newt, T.R.W., Link)
0.0.1 Brachypelma smithi (C.J.)
0.0.4 Brachypelma vagans (Uno, River, J.J.Rousseau, RED13)
0.0.4 Grammostola rosea (Barbara Ann, Doc, Zuul, "Indy"/'Indefatigable')
0.0.1 Pterinochilus murinus (Skittles)

notes on the names:
Barbara Ann & Doc: came to me pre-named, and I am more than happy to keep those names. It is such a neat thing, IMO, to receive T's who are already named.
Indy (Indefatigable): is named for a ship (a frigate, to be precise) in a fictional series based on C. S. Forester's books (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._S._Forester). This T is NOT named for Indiana Jones.
RED13: a character from the game Final Fantasy VII.
J.J.Rousseau: is named for Jean-Jacques Rousseau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Rousseau)
C.J.: is named for the mall security guard character in the Dawn of the Dead remake.
Newt: is named for the little girl in Aliens.
Link: is named for the character you play as in Nintendo's Zelda games.
T.R.W.: is named for T.R.W. Consultants, an oil drilling & completions consulting company for which I was employed to draw up the company logo while said consulting company was working for Vintage Petroleum (http://www.driltek.com/clients.html).
Uno: was the first T I unpacked from that shipment of B. vagans slings.
River: I named while sleep-deprived because I had found it in a death curl after returning home from being away for 2 days during a heat wave. On the thought that it might be dehydrated, I stayed up all night, nudging it gently around its container to force it to keep moving so that it might drink some of the misted water on the side of its container. It took all night, but it lived. My sleep deprived mind associated "keeping it moving" + "water" = "River." And that is how the name came to be.
Zuul: is named for that... thing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostbusters)... in Ghostbusters... and is also a likely candidate for a future psychopathic rosea, hence the name. To modify a quote from the film: "There is no G. rosea, only Zuul."
Skittles: is just... well... Skittles - yes, named after the candy. Because of the brightness of color it will be in the future (still a sling now) I figured it seemed an appropriate enough name.

Here are the T's I would welcome name "donations" from AB members for:

0.0.2 Brachypelma emilia
0.0.11 Grammostola rosea

Go ahead! Name a T!

:)

PM me with the species you thought of the name for, and the name, and depending on how many suggestions I get, I will name the T that - or put a bunch of suggested names in a hat and pick one out for each T that needs a name.
