Points To Note When Choosing Hermit Crab Names

By Phillip Hastings


Choosing a name for a pet before you actually bring it home might not cross your mind. If it's a cat, a puppy or any other regular pet, this should not be a problem since there are many common names you can use. If you got a hermit crab, the situation might be different. One thing you should bear in mind is that hermit crab names assigned before the pet is actually brought home are less likely to last. This is because the crab, just like any other pet, might exhibit certain characteristics which might lead to the name changing.

Most people wonder whether a name should be given much thought. It should be highly regarded because it is the first thing people learn about the pet or a person for that matter before they know the characters exhibited. If you have a name that fits the character of your pet, your guests will have an idea how the pet behaves.

Even though the name might not last when chosen early, you can still get one. In fact an article from Ashworth Community College emphasizes the importance of naming a pet to help make them part of the family. Most people make their choice based things they like. It could be a popular movie character, sports team or any other popular thing at the moment. You can also get a good moniker from magazines and other popular publications.

The internet is also a good channel to use to find a moniker for your pet. There are many websites which offer lists of good names for your crab. Since the sites have specialized in this area, it is easy to get an appropriate name.

Another way to choose the name before you actually get the pet is by asking your friends for suggestions. Those who have had their own hermit crabs can give you great suggestions. Even if they do not own crabs, they can also give you other suggestions based on the pets they own.

Observing the characteristics of the pet you get can also be a good way to identify the right moniker. For instance, one that moves a lot could be called crawl while one that likes pinching can be called pincher. You can even base the name on food the pet likes. For instance, you can name it crab cake if it loves cakes.

Just like people get monikers from others, the best name for your pet can come from people visiting your home. You should therefore welcome good monikers that your friends use to refer to your pets. If any of them sounds better than what you have already chosen, you can replace it.

Generally, there are no rules when choosing a name so you have freedom to choose any name you like. You can therefore use the hermit crab names you get from friends or the internet to select what suits your pet most. You can also take time if you are not sure and derive one from the character exhibited by the pet. If you are lucky, one of your friends or even the kinds might suggest something very interesting.
