Or, simplest thing, name her Arachnophobia.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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”

Why not something unusual, like: Betty, Karen, Sasha, even Leena.
No way you’d think of those names with spiders.
