I want to see how many good names for pet tarantulas (or spiders) we can come up with. Here are some categories to get people thinking:
Names from pop culture
Typical, funny, or ironic names
Names relating to common or scientific name

Charlotte, Harry, Spidey are some obvious ones. What can the rest of you come up with?
Naming Tarantulas is part of the fun, I have a Female King Baboon Tarantula named Fluffy, I have 2 GBB 's named Lady Blue legs and Lady Green Body.. I have an adult female Pumpkin patch named Styx..... The names in my opinion are part of the excitement of keeping them.

I have a few of my females named -
Pelinobius muticus - Betty
Stromatopelma calceatum - Dot
Ornithoctoninae aureotibialis - Maggie
Eucratoscelus pachypus - Edith
Tliltocatl albopilosus - Monica
Lyrognathus giannisposatoi - Hogg

I seem to enjoy old lady names

Chilobrachys fimbriatus female - Adeline
Aphonopelma moderatum female - Barnaby, I named her before I was sure of her sex and kept it.
Pseudhapalopus sp? /unknown sp male - Cosmo
Tliltocatl albopilosus male - SpongeBob Spiderpants
Tliltocatl epicureanus female - Hot Cheeto Cheesecake
Hysterocrates gigas male - Horse Electrolytes, I originally said I'd name a gigas this as a joke to a family member. It's not a joke anymore.

Honorary mention for the Lampropelma nigerrimum who came to me with health issues and didn't survive, I had named him Jim The Impaler.

Every other T I get seems to have a progressively more unhinged name.
