Alias

So, many people have asked about my name "Why Amber Araneae?" Some people think I need something more flashy, or less flashy depending on the person. Some people think Araneae is my middle name, others ask what my nationality is with a last name like that, I just laugh.

My nickname since childhood has been Spider. My uncle gave me this nickname because I was an awkwardly tall thin girl 'who was mean', it was a retaliation to me calling him Uncle Monkey cause he has, by far, the hairiest chest Ive seen ever. So Spider has been a family nickname for years.

Its followed me for a long time. I go by the name Liante on various things as that's the Lord of the Rings Elvish word for Spider. But when it came to me choosing a model name/alias it just seemed too exotic, too hard to pronounce. Plus Ive responded to Amber my whole life, why change it?

In short, I chose Araneae as its the Order name for Spiders.  Its a rare person who knows that, and a fun nerd fact when I tell them where my name came from.
It comes through in some of my shoots from time to time.
