Name That Pet: Equinox’s Spider
Final Name: Skitters
Equinox, a young Draenei hunter from the realm of Barthilas, is looking for help naming her pet spider.
Equinox writes:
I have stumbled onto a naming block for my little friend. Here is the story of how I met my hunting partner.
It was a warm day on Bloodmyst Isle when I was commissioned to go and hunt down some aggressive spiders who had attacked and killed some researchers in the area of Amberweb pass. I wasn’t feeling up to it since I was made to give up my last pet, a Nightsaber by the name of KittyKat, but my druid friend convinced me and off we went.
We eventually got to the pass and cleared it of spiders in a flash. On the way home however one of the spiders wouldn’t leave me alone. She just kept following me. Frustrated I turned and was about to slay her when my druid friend said, “I think she likes you.”
So in the end I tamed her. At first I wasn’t keen on her, being an arachnophobic person, but she tries hard and now has a place in my heart although she is a screamer.
A screamer indeed! (The spiders of Bloodmyst are well known for their raucous cries when they attack.) So what names might fit this loud little spider?

Perhaps something like…
Creeper(s)
Spindle
IluvU
Stalker
How about Equinoxious?
:)
Dustin? (Screech from “Saved By The Bell”)
Pincushion
Neon (colors on their butt)
Spinnenbiss (means “spider bite” in German, if im correct)
A lot of players are arachnophobic, try and take advantage of this and choose a scary name, or one that accentuates what’s scary about the spider.
“Hiss”, for example, because of that horrible, god-foresaken hiss those spiders make.
Or, I don’t know, something like “Fleshripper”. Because when a giant, angry black screaming hissing spider comes at us, the last thing we want is visceral imagery.
Skitter (for her spidery movement)
Well i would go with somthing that sounds timid so when they walk up to it there like- “Ah look at the little spider” then you pull out the big guns making it attack like crazy freaking the heck out’a them. So the names i got would be, Tsunade, Sakura, Hinata, Ino, Shinzu, Kurena,or Rukia.
How about Screamer. :o)
Anansi
simple and powerful!

When in doubt, I name my pet after the place I tamed it. In this case, Bloodmyst — or more-specifically, Amberweb.
I second Screamer! It actually seems like a perfect name to me.
Thriller
its a spine chiller. lol
second Equinoxious.. it makes me lol! :)
Maybe Banshee?
How about Shriek? perfect for the spider that actually does that.
Cavatica: This was Charlotte’s last name, Charlotte A. Cavatica, in the book “Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White. A variant spelling for the species name of the Barn Spider, but otherwise just looks cool and sounds pretty. The name Charlotte could work too :-)
Banshee
Barbwire
ChainLink
Scurry
Bloodfang
I love the name Cavatica, And who doesnt love sweet ol Charlotte? Since it did take your little Arach some time to win your heart as did it take some time for Charlotte to convince the town of Wilber’s importance. I think it fits amazingly well. Goodluck!
“Anxious”
Solstice, matches Equinox kinda…
Summer
Winter
Bloodlegs
Blood
Acidox
Nice spider, keep him til’ 70 and you’ll have a really rare pet that will get LOTS of stares! (and screams ^.~)
A fellow Barthilas-ian!
I’d recommend “Shrike”. Used to have a scorpid by that name, before the poison nerf.
Ihatespiders
Coming from one arachnophobic person to another. (Sorry, that’s all I could come up with… I don’t like spiders… >.<)
My spider with that skin was named Änka, which is Swedish for “widow”. :)
Bloodfang? Ive always liked that name for some reason…
Your spider is so CUTE!!!
Try:
1> Phobia
2> Dread or DreadClaw
Supaida(japanese for spider)
and i second bloodfang
Equinoxious = Imba
I think Charlotte is cute. It’s simple and everyone knows who it is..Well..People who read. =\
if its for pvp, my friend had the idea of “urmom” so when some1 is talking to their friends about it, they can talk about how urmom killed them… LOL, but id go with widow, cuz black and red, and its a killer right?
you should name it widowmaker if its for pvp. for pve i also think charlotte would be great =)
You should totally name it artemis after the greek god the mistress of the hunt and the moon because the spider hunted you down and it seems shadowy
I got that same spider on my blood elf hunter, and named here Iktomi after a Lakota spider/trickster god.
spinderella
I think Equinoxious is just perfect.
Cavatica is very pretty.
call it Piglette ? =p
Some suggestions:
Balah (Darnassian for Spider)
Shelob (LOTR reference)
Dystra
Zylrish
I had a spider on my young draenei for a time, named BriarRose. If you’re not familiar with the story, that’s the original Sleeping Beauty before Disney got ahold of her. Another possibility is Yochlol, which is drow for spider.
Wisperweb
soundweb
audio or spell it audayo
aracnosonic
blacknoise
Fluffy!!!
I named my spider GnomeEater but since your alliance your gnome friends might not like that
Kumonga.
Well, she’s female. She needs an appropriate name because she’s a lady.
Charlotte was a good suggestion.
There is also Eleanor, Beatrice, Aranaelia, and Kyatril.
I suggest Parker.
considering your name, and how much a spider is used to distract your foe i really like the name “eclipse”.
you provide your pet balance, it will provide a shelter against those who attack you.
I second Palla on “Banshee” I love it…..now I have to go tame a spider and name it that lol
Why not something unusual, like: Betty, Karen, Sasha, even Leena.
No way you’d think of those names with spiders.
I once tamed a glassweb spider, and I called her ‘Lyssa’ (named after the Widow of the Web’ in the sci fi / fantasy movie “Krull”
I like Shadowdweller.
And I second Anansi, it is awesome too.
I read both “American Gods” and “Anansi Boys” by Neil Gaiman by the way.
Well, since it looks like a black widow, i’d say Jealousfang would suit it well. Jealous Fang is the name of a poison dagger from Anima RPG. Some “black widows” find as “excuse” for their murders, jealousy. And plus the poison, a “widow” most common weapon in the past…
Oh I just thought of another name…
The Aztec god of enmity, discord, sorcery, war, darkness…
Tezcatlipoca. Also known as Smoking Mirror. Also has many other epithets of which some like Titlacauan (We are his Slaves) and Ipalnemoani (He by whom we live) are nice.
As a god of Darkness, a dark, creepy, horribly-hissing spider is conveniant.
Some good suggestions here. If you’re looking to tie it to your name I second Eclipse or maybe Solstice. If you’re looking for something simpler or with less mythological meaning something like Fangs or Fearspinner or Terrorshriek.
Why not name it after a spider it looks like: Red Back, Black Widow, or another species that you have a particular sentiment (given your phobia, that sentiment may be fear) about. I always liked Daddy Longlegs spiders.
You could always name it: Arachnophobia.
Or, simplest thing, name her Arachnophobia.
Oops, it’s a second… didn’t notice.
