Good on you for your diligence ahead of bringing the animal home, you're off to a great start.

As for names, I tend to name my animals after musicians, movie/t.v. show characters I like etc...
Maybe to appease your wife choose a loveable character from a movie or show you watch together?
I took your advise and told my wife she could name them. This has made her hate them a little less. She even watched a feeding and was checking on the male Fire DG to see if he was hided up so we could try a feeding. She wants to touch one, but has a long way to go. I think at the next scheduled handling, she might feel on one.

Top contenders are Ross and Rachel, Chandler and Monica, Walt and Vic, or Riggins and Lyla (we nexflix binge). My choice was Johnny and June. She decided to wait to see if the snakes presented and character traits that would help sellecting a proper name.

We have a tarantula named Steve after the kids animation movie "Over the Hedge". There was a line in the movie that goes, "I'd be a lot less scared of it if I knew what to call it." "Let's call it Steve." "Yes. I like that, that's much less scary."
