[QUOTE="Fuzzball79, post: 63112, member: 3190"] Mine don't really have any "official" names, just nicknames so my husband knows who I'm talking about: My Rosea is either Rosie (how creative, isn't it?), Fuzzball or Lotta (as in "A whole lotta Rosie"). A. Genic, Stripes G. Actaeon, still referred to as the "Newbie" LP, Pipsqueak, because it was so tiny when I got it A. Versicolor, formerly known as "Bluey", now known as Queen B, because she's a bit bold and feisty (in a good way) B. Boehmei, The Mexican or Bums (he's a bit fat) GBB, Flicks, cause that's what it does (rarely, but the only one, that has so far) Amazonica, Big Foot (needs to grow into its feet) or Baby (cos it's the smallest) T. Gigas, Orange Climby Thing (as a joke, because my husband saw an OBT and wanted me to get one, but I preferred the looks and description of the Gigas) or Gingie (referring to Shrek's Gingerbread Man, because it's ginger) [/QUOTE]
