You want an interesting one, look up Denis (Des, as he went by) Neilson. This dude may take the cake...he's from England.

No great ones. I'm unoriginal. I name them after their common names and scientific names already. My Avics name is "Avic". Since that's all I ever call him. My new H. Mac sling was named "Togo" a la Togo Starburst Baboon. I'll name the second H
Mac... "H. Mac" :D

Some of these abbreviations and slings lend for good names. H. Mac is a sweet nickname. I wish I could be H. Mac.

The OBT we had was called "USAMBARA!"

Because that's cool too!

But the rest go unnamed.

Except my G. Porteri. I got her at a rock and roll and horror convention that Dee Snider was at. In fact that's what I went. To meet Dee. And I left with my first Tarantula. Dee Spider.

I've always used strange and elaborate names. I had leucistic leapard gecko one time. Her name was Lizzy D. Liz Ard. Then my california king snake pair... Cleopatra and Anthony... My pug came to me with the name boomer but when I'm in the mood I call him Pugsley Mc Puggerson.....

B.albo > itchy (always scratching its butt and making me itchy)

Mine have a few more obscure names, others came already named, and I thought it would be improper to re-name them:

G. rosea - Itsy (already named)

G. rosea - Lily (already named)

G. pulchra - Bithia

L. parahybana - Evita

1/4 " LP - Forty Five (get it? Little LP? 45 rpm? You'd have to be over 30 to get that one)

P. regalis X 4 (all V names) - Valeria, Victory, Vendetta, and Valkyrie

P. irminia - Tony (as in Tony the Tiger, for all you Frosted Flakes fans). :)

B. albopilosum - Dee Dee (named after a friend)

B. emilia - Duchess Marguerite (or Maggie for short. Named after Stan's late wife & a long lived Emilia of theirs)

GBB - Sprite (as it comes in what? Yes, a green bottle)

P. subfusca HL - Highlander (not a lot of imagination there, I know)

B. vagans - Pepper (after my favourite movie redhead, Pepper Potts of 'Ironman' fame)

G. pulchripes - Leviathan (as it should get to be almost as big as 8.5" Evita)

H. venatoria - Dundee (I thought it was Australian. You'd have to be over 30 to get this one too)

Great thread! My fiancé and I love naming our creatures, and when possible we try to evoke the "attitude" or "personality" (projections one and all, but it's all in good fun). Our 7" mature female P. regalis is named "Kali" after the Hindu god of death...based on one of the most frightening threat poses we ever witnessed. Aside from that we chose to name our Chilean roses after Supreme Court justices so we have Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sandra Day O'Connor, and Sonia Sotomayor. We cleverly named our E. murinus lady "agent Scully" real creative I know... Our H. vonwirthi is Hanoi Jane. Our Euthalus sp. red is "Chiyo-chan" (any Azumanga Daio fans out there!?!?). But among our most clever names are for our OBT's: we have Obi Wan KenOBT, and O BeaArthur T. But the OG, still my favorite name, is for our first T, an A. metallica male we called "Murderface" after William Murderface Murderface on Metalocalypse. That's all I can think of in spiders, but there are a few more worth sharing. Our vinegaroon is a real zinger: "Clicky Minaj" and we have snakes named "Chevy Chase" and "Rodney Dangerfield" and a tortoise named "Uncle Buck." We are big time nerds.

All of mine are named after horror movie characters or at least related to horror movies. I only have a few right now but I plan on getting a bunch more in October and the names will hopefully follow this trend.
G. rosea/porteri - Pennywise
B. smithi - Elvira
P. cambridgei - Ash
