My Fortunata is named Scarlet, and she is RPd as having Spider-based powers, her immobilizes and holds are webs trapping her opponents and the confuse powers are pheromone-based. I really like her 
I have a non-Crab named Blue Rocket, which is one of the many names given to the plant 'Wolfsbane.' I'm glad the server I was playing on didn't already have it.
I have a Widow named Menarche. I felt it was an appropriate name.
I'm trying to come up with a name for a Crab, because I don't want to deal with the costume issues on Blue Rocket, who will not ever be a crab.
I think I'm going to use a "regular" name, like 'Eric Brown.'
The game ends at 50.

We need more control sets without pets.My characters are not "toons".
They are all project characters, though.Global chat @Lxndr My servers: Defiant, Liberty, Pinnacle, Virtue
my fortunata is called: White Widowess
Tarantula Commander, because it was more of a "haha, let's see if this works" moment, and it apparently wasn't taken.
Back story is a Weblord (A rank I made up, higher than a Webmaster) who was asked by Mako himself to find a way to improve the Crab Spider troops. TC's new backpack, called "Tarantula Model: Final," more commonly called a Spiderbite by those who use it, was swiftly implemented onto the most promising Crab troopers.
Seven years of heroism. Seven years of friendships. Seven years of saving the world. Seven years of virtuous selflessness.
You will return, for you are the mighty City of Paragon, the City of Heroes.
Probably not much help, but my Widow, an escaped product of mad science, is named Oougel (which she can pronounce aloud with her bizarre mouth structure), and my Crab is Nurse N33dl3z (she's a Meat Doctor, not an actual Arachnos operative).
Much earlier, I made a Night Widow named Charlotte Aranea, but she doesn't exist anymore.

Dosadi, cribbed from the eponymous warrior planet in the novel by Frank Herbert. The name was the gift of a friend who snagged it back around CoV release and who later purchased a name change so I could use it.

My Crab Spider on Justice is Operative Clarke.
At the time I was creating the character there was a copy of Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke on the bookcase beside my PC.
My new Crab Spider is Cupid's Shadow; he'll be going heroic and I wanted something with a bit of change of pace in the name.
my bane/huntsman is Executioner Adan. have been throwing around ideas for a fortunata, but nothing has stuck so far.

Sexton Hardcastle on Virtue . Level 35 non Bane/Crab and waiting to run Patron arc , though I could see him going hero . Basically this is my "Metroid theme" toon , so he is stripped down to the basics and has no symbol on the chest . Love playing this toon .

my crab-based Soldier is named Thomas Iscariot. I'm somewhat proud of this:
crab spiders are the 'thomisidae' genera
also some members of the Sicarius genera are sometimes called crab spiders, and that genus includes the recluse spider
so... 'iscariot' and 'sicarius' are related linguistically, both referencing assasins.

On Champion and Exalted, i have a soldier (huntsman) called Katherine Steel. My only widow is Widow Lynx, on champ. I try and stay away from Operative or Huntsman. As for the Widow, just couldn't get the names i wanted, so went with Widow (part of my global).
@Purple Lynx
Heroes - Circle of Light
Villians - Ultimate Supremacy
(same character)
Crab- Previewing
Fortunata- Previewed

I can confirm that as not true, as I was able to name my soldier on Exalted "Arbiter Jones".|

As of a week or so ago, "Wolf Spider Hunstman" was not taken, which would be an interesting name. I named my widow "Three Eyed Widow", because I used the third eye costume piece. SUPER original, I know.
My spider is named Arachno Red!
.......clearly because I am part of an evil VEAT power rangers team.
My Fortunata/Night Widow (Dual Build - gotta love it) Is 'The Widow of Windsor' After the Kipling Poem, it was a nickname for Queen Victoria
The Crab is Rogue Operator

My Arachnos Soldier is called Furious Survivor, because he escaped from Project FURY before he could be turned into an Arachnoid and is now pretty pissed off at Arachnos.
I also plan on making a widow called Sister Serpent, who is named so because she has a birth mutation that makes her skin reptilian, and because screw the spider motifs
My Bane is named Portiana (derived from the Portia genus of spiders).
