I ordered 2 new Ts now i need 2 names ;)

I usually do a word play or something with their common names but i'm totally out of ideas on these 2.

Davus pentaloris - Guatemalan Tiger Rump
Eupalastrus campestratus - Pink Zebra Beauty

Like with my Brazilian Black and White i did the name Duke, first thing that came to mind for black and white were the old John Wayne (The Duke) movies. B. albo's were named Larry and Moe because they're "Curly" ;) until my son didn't like his called Larry and changed it :p

So help me out here. :) what should i name these 2?

Davus pentaloris - Tiger or Tigger, they definitely have tiger stripes on their butts
Eupalastrus campestratus - Rose or Blush

Tigger is my dog's name, that'd get confusing ;) I was thinking Bengal but then i can't stand the Cincinnati Bengals so that won't work.

I could name the campestratus Rose and confuse everyone since it's not a rosea ;)

Davus pentaloris - Guatemalan Tiger Rump: Shere Khan (or just Shere, which translates as Tiger in Persian. Or just Khan which means King)

Eupalastrus campestratus - Pink Zebra Beauty: Zebedee (off the Magic Roundabout)

Funny, I have a Curly named Moe too...same reason.

When I think of Guatemala my mind goes to coffee so you could name after one of the major coffee producing regions there. Options along this line for the GTR could be Coban, Antigua or Antitlan. There are 8 major regions, but these sound the most like spider names to me.

I named my B. klassi's (Mexican Pink) after the Pink Ladies from the movie Grease. I have Rizzo, Frenchy and Marty. You could use one of these for your PZB (since apparently I borrowed Moe from you) or go with one of the two I didn't use....Jan and Sandy.

I made the mistake of telling my son i ordered 2, so now he's taking the D. pentaloris for his and i get the PZB. I'll go with @Kymura and use Alicia, Pink is one of my favorite pop stars from way way back ;) Guess i can call it Al if it turns out to be male lol The demon from the Kelly Armstrong - The Hollows books :)
