Help[Opinions] Re: Spider & Piers
in reply to a message by vigdis
I think Spider carries too many other connotations besides Spiderman. Same way Snake or Bat or Eel does. I think Spiderman fans would be more likely to use Peter or Parker than Spider. The animal names you usually see are softer with nicer symbolism or imagery (Fawn, Dove, Robin, Lark, Wren) or tougher and more noble symbolism (Bear, Leo). Then you get some weird off-beat ones like Elsie Otter but even that has super cute imagery to me because I love otters even though I know they aren't that sweet IRL.
Spider sounds like a gang nickname or criminal names. Spiders are small, can be squashed, "sneaky", long spindly legs, and hurt people by not being noticed. I'm someone who actually likes spiders a lot but I don't think it would be a good name!
Piers is fine. It's always sounded kind of greasy and weaselly to me but there isn't anything wrong with it.
