Well, I use to don't name my pets, but there is a roach I just give a name for fun...

I use to introduce him to my friends as "Grand Didier", wich means "Tall Didier" in english (Didier is a common first name here).

For sure, "Grand Didier" is the alpha male in my Gromphadorhina cf. grandidieri "black" colony...

I call my flat horned hisser the Tank Lord because he is very bossy and has the tank to himself.  He is a very spoiled roach.  Other names I've had were a pair of males called Creepy and Crawly xd

My latest names include Shy Boy and Fierce Guardian.  Fierce guardian is a male V-Horned hisser living with his much smaller dwarf hisser boy colony.  He seems to like to sit on top of the bark while his smaller friends go under the bark.

I have colonies so unless I set up one or two or three, etc on display, I probably won't try to name anyone.

Only named my two male hissers (probably hybrid Gromphadorhini sp)

Geyser - smaller male, very handleable, had bursts of energy from time to time (like a geyser), passed in 2021 (Age 4)

Orange - Very large, bright coloration (similar to the LLE Mahogany strain), passed in 2022 (Age 5)
