help with sling names

[Kymura]

Ok so, I got a sweet baby A versicolor,
Adorable of course, its an avic how can it be anything else but adorable
Anyway, name suggestions please, taking into consideration adult appearance.
Considering Jasper. but GIVE ME OPTIONS!

also, er...I sort of accidently ordered a LBJ....DONT JUDGE MEEEE! love the little brown jobbies,
Anyway, Aphonopelma anax shipping Monday, 1.5 inches. This baby needs an awesome name as well,
thinking possibly Majesty or Chaos.

i usually do a play on words, or something with the location where the T is from to steal @Enn49 idea cause i'm like that

My first thought, since the versicolor change color every molt as they grow is to call it Joe, after Joseph and his coat of many colors. Geographical names could be Luca from the Lucayan Archipelago or Nevis from Nevis Island.

For your anax you could swap it, call it Xana.

My versi is called Jazz after the Haitian jazz musician Jazz Guignard (Haiti being one of the Antilles) but I like your choices.

My son named his versi Raven after the Teen Titans character when she had her psychedelic dream or whatever it was and her cloak kept changing colors.

Thought briefly of Peacock, then Prismatic, but just not getting that zing like when you know its the right name,


oh wait...what about Lauma for the versi? (is a tree goddess-Lauma, a woodland fae, goddess/spirit of trees, marsh and forest in Eastern Baltic mythology)

I named my first one "Delilah," but it turned out to be a male. He kept the name, and was, I think, more popular with my friends because of it. There's something about a pink and purple and green and burgundy spider with an equally flamboyant name that appeals to people. I gave slings to 2 friends, and they named them Vera and Violet.

I have a list of all the unisex names that I could find - including place names of the countries that my spider comes from. One of the names on my list, that I am dying to use (maybe for my E. campestratus), is Calypso. I think it is a cool name for a spider and conjures up a colourful look in my mind.

@VanessaS
I LOVE that, I may go with Kalipso so I'm not quite stealing it
What about my LBJ guys and gals?

I am eventually going to get my OBT, its name will be Tacibana, wild orange in Japanese

I'm stuck on my brother/sister pair of G. pulchripes. I am thinking of going with Phoebe and Holden, but I love Portia/Brutus and Victoria/Albert too - even though they were married couples and not brother/sister like Phoebe/Holden.

Portia/Brutus gets my vote!

 

[VanessaS]

That is how I am leaning too. I love my ancient Romans.

 

[Thistles]

Plenty of classical couples who were both siblings and married to choose from, if that's your thing.

Versi-tile

I have a few choice names for a couple of mine that are bitey, but I think of all of them by their proper names, if I have more then one of a species they get a number or "big genic, little genic, big gbb, little gbb." How bout Lyndon B Johnson for the Texas spider? LBJ. Texas vice prez that took over when Kennedy was murdered.

 

[Kymura]

LOL!! perfect, and it is one of the lbj spiders, love the byplay there

 

[MassExodus]

If it's a girl, you can call her Ladybird

Tilly.....short for Antilles Pink Toe. That is what I named my first versi. My current one is called Tink.

 

[RedCapTrio]

I love Tink, got a collection of her adventures by the way.

Ha ha......I think your version of "advantures" are probably not what most people associate Tink with.....that was funny @RedCapTrio ....nice pic. Not sure I can look at my versi in the same way now

I did a smilirar thing with my genic. I called mine Genie as a play on the Geniculata name so the small genic was called teanie Genie ☺
