My Crab (that started as a Bane) is named The Webspider.
Wild Streak - Lv. 50(+3) Beast Mastery/Sonic Resonance Mastermind, Amnesty - Lv. 50 Staff Fighting/Dark Armor Stalker

So, would you call someone "Executioner Jones"? or "Commando Jones"? I'm curious what titles are workable. It doesn't appear that Arachnos uses any of the common rank designations like "Private", "Sergeant", or "Lieutenant".... etc.

I just decided the "Operative" label didn't fit with that name. Although I've never used them, I would guess "Webmaster" would be an effective title for a Crab Spider, while "Commando", or "Executioner" would be for Bane Spiders. I believe I've also seen "Seer" for Fortunatas. |

Well, after finally unlocking my Spiders today (Lemme alone, I'm primarily blue-side and don't play that often anyway) I finally had my opportunity...
And of course I was lame as hell.
Widow: Fortunata DeLancey
Soldier: Arbiter Loop.
Yes. I did the dreaded "Arbiter" name. DX
Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.
Wow. Apparently my Arachnos names were so bad they killed off the thread?
Come on, guys, this was interesting stuff.

I have named my Crab Spider Arbiter Darkleigh. Her name is Rochelle Darkleigh which is an RP name I've used on many characters over the years.
My crab is Webmaster Araneus
My huntsman is Turannos
I've considered renaming my huntsman to Huntsman Turannos, but I am really on the fence about doing so.

I have Bill from Arachnos. Poor guy slogged through level one hitting people with his gun because the higher ups didn't think he was worthy to be given bullets.
I've a Fortunata who is to be renamed 'the Ghost's Shadow' when I get around to it, because she's essentially Ghost Widow's stalker. My Night Widow was originally going to be called Spinerette, but it was taken, so now she's the Scarlet Spinerette. I don't like it though, so I'm looking to rename her, too.
Liking some of the names in here, though. 
Oh! I forgot to add my male fortunata - Fortunate Flea.

Crab to be: Operative Aubrey (an MI5 agent from the same book/movie)
Widow: Venomspinner
I took a slightly different spin on the <Title> (Name) naming convention, because, frankly, I'm sick of seeing Arbiter/Huntsman/Widow/Webmaster/whatever. It smacks a bit of laziness, to be honest.
So I named my male Night Widow Jaeger Kharne. Gave him a non-Arachnos uniform ASAP, wrote up a backstory involving his merc-for-hire/double crossing past, reasoned that he only joined Arachnos at the point of a gun (and for the sweet, sweet training), and is in the process of bilking them for what they're worth. Jaeger seemed to fit, because: (1) I didn't want to use umlauts, and (2) He's a "hunter of men". Bounty hunter, assassin, what-have-you.
Strongly considering renaming Fortunata Delancey as Inquisitor Delancey.

Operative 33. Professional Minion, Currently henching for Arachnos.
My Crab Spider is Operative Bay. He's an old guy who left a prior career as a crab fisherman in frustration after Cap'n Mako commandeered and devoured his entire catch. His outfit is mostly blue. His name is meant to be a play on "old bay" seasoning, which is traditionally used on Maryland Blue Crabs.
My Widow, on the other hand, is Al-Barran, meaning "the scorpion" in Arabic. I've liked the sound of the word ever since I heard it some years back, and it seemed like a good name for a stealthy character with claws. And, after all, scorpions are arachnids, too. Aside from his name, I find this character interesting because I couldn't settle on a single concept for him. Instead, I wrote his bio to list ten or so "rumors" about his background, enabling me to use all my concepts at once.

This is what happens when you get impatient and want to start playing something new. I got to naming my guy and just went with my typical names in other mmo.
I call them after types of wine.
Widow: Operative Bourbon
Bane: Operative Merlot
Crab: Webmaster Crianza
