Spiders: some people scream when they see them, others try to adopt them as “tiny roommates with eight legs and free pest control.”
Whether you love them, fear them, or just admire their web-making superpowers, one thing is certain — they deserve names. And not just any names… funny spider names!
Why? Because a pet tarantula named Mr.
Wigglebutt or a house spider called Sir Webs-a-Lot is instantly funnier (and less scary). Naming your spider is the ultimate way to turn creepy into quirky, and fear into giggles.
In this blog post, I’ve put together 145+ hilarious spider names across different themes — from punny and cute to spooky and pop-culture inspired.
You’ll also get a quick checklist for choosing the perfect name, creative categories, FAQs, and tips to make your spider (and you) stand out.
So grab your imaginary magnifying glass and let’s crawl right into the fun! 🕸️
Before you pick a name for your eight-legged friend, keep these tips in mind:
- 🕷️ Think of personality → Is your spider fast, lazy, or dramatic?
- 🎬 Use references → Movies, books, or memes make names instantly fun.
- 😂 Go for humor → Puns, rhymes, and silly twists always win.
- 🕸️ Keep it short → Easy to say and remember.
- 🏆 Test it out loud → If it makes you smile, you’ve found the one!
