I cannot fetch you all crab names to use in your story, but my little guide may help you naming ideas, characters, places, and concepts.

Here are some crab names examples you can try to change on your own:

Georgie
Harvy
Nero
Marvin
Gordon
Snapper
Water
Baby
Shelby

Aqua

Emma
Biscuit
Yssup
Butterscotch
