[QUOTE="Thistles, post: 60143, member: 3949"] Most of mine don't have names, but a few do. Usually I name my favorites or ones that have some quirk or exceptional characteristic. I like to name the charismatic ones because people who look at my collection seem to find it easier to relate to a spider with a funny or cute name. "Landshark" the [I]Ceratogyrus darlingi [/I]is always a hit. "Delilah" was my (male) [I]Avicularia versicolor [/I]and my coworkers cried when I sent him off to breed. I don't think they would have been as emotionally invested in a coworker's pet if it hadn't had a memorable name. I have like 100 and maybe a dozen are named. Obviously there's nothing wrong with naming them, but it's not a priority for me. [/QUOTE]
