  • Icky

  • Celeb

  • Xanadu

    Xanadu (male bank)

Naming notes

The contrast is the design: "Fangs" and "Poison" sit on the same list as "Muffin", so a tarantula given a sweet name disarms a visitor faster than any reassurance. Lean into the species' reputation or cut straight against it, since either choice characterises the keeper. For a many-legged pet in fiction, a classroom specimen, or a game NPC, the gap between name and creature does most of the work.

Questions about male insects names

Why do menacing and cute names share the list?
It is intentional. The banks pair words like "Fangs" and "Poison" with picks like "Muffin" so you can either match a spider's reputation or undercut it, and either choice says something about the keeper.
Which style works for a pet tarantula?
A sweet name disarms visitors faster than a scary one, so the cozy picks often serve a real pet better, while the menacing entries suit fiction that wants the dread.
Are the banks balanced by gender?
Nearly: 152 female entries and 144 male entries, each result a single whole word from whichever pool the gender flag selects.
