Where do you get your inspiration for your crabs' names?

krackersmom2 · 05-07-2008, 07:41 PM

I actually use two of the options.....behavior and size/color....

alli'smommy · 05-07-2008, 07:50 PM

All the above!!!

I use none of the above.

We just pick names that are odd and unheard of

I always try to give them a tough or mighty name because I think of them as little armor-plated tough guys. The names I've used have been: Tank, Dozer, Zamboni, Tonka, Tumbler, Triton, Vadar, and Magnum. Most of these have TV/movie references too, which gives them greater and more universal appeal, I think.

I like naming them by their behavior. Chevy got his name because he got loose in my car on the way home and Lucky got his name because he was lucky I didn't throw him out with the rest since I thought he was missing. LOL. I still have two to name.
