[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 135448, member: 4947"] I first keep my slings unnamed until I come up with a name I want to use and I don't mind too much if the name won't match with the gender in the end. I'm also battling between using foreign words and Finnish words, mostly because of the pronunciation. It can be relatively annoying when you give your pet a nice name and someone pronounces it in thick Finnish accent :D Overall I like to use character / place names from games and different mythologies. So far I have [I]- Acanthoscurria geniculata[/I] "Maisa" - A Finnish female first name. This was actually given by my mom so she could tolerate the T in her house for two days :D I tried to change it later but in the end this name got stuck on my head, so Maisa it is. [I]- Neoholothele incei[/I] gold "Eos" - In Greek mythology Eos is the goddess of dawn (and a Titaness, haha) and this little T has a golden colouration. - [I]Sericopelma (ex. Brachypelma) angustum[/I] "Anki" - This kid has a funny attitude so I started to call it the Angsty Kid. Anki is just a shortened form. - [I]Caribena versicolor[/I] "Sreaky" - Named after my friend's online nickname after I found out that she has terminal cancer. - [I]Brachypelma boehmei[/I] "Kulo" - A Finnish word meaning forest fire. And then there is the unnamed bunch [I]B. klaasi, B. albopilosum, B. auratum, B. albiceps, N. chromatus, P. vittata[/I] and [I]P. tigrinawesseli, [/I] [/QUOTE]
