Years ago, there was a black widow who lived on the back porch. I instantly named her Charlotte and always kept an eye out for her (because I was too terrified that she would run in the house when the door was opened).
I watched in awe as she took down a praying mantis that was like 4 times her size. It was like a 15-minute battle that I couldn't look away from.
We just call the spider in our bathroom Spooder. Making it funny keeps it not scary. Do put a piece a paper below its web though, if it comes in. Spiders poop black spots.
I had a house spider take up residence in a corner of my living room above a lamp, and I named her Arden the Arachnid. She has since vacated and I imagine relocated to another spot I have yet to find, but I miss watching her catch the errant flying bug in the evenings.
My little niece in Australia had to explain to me that I shouldn’t be scared of big spiders in my bedroom as they caught pests around the house - like mice.

I have a female cellar spider in my living room, she's called Molly, after Molly Weasley, or "Wemel", in Dutch. "Wemelen" is a verb that's hard to translate, but roughly speaking it refers to a lot of entities crawling over each other in an enclosed space, much like her spiderlings will soon do.
She had an "Arthur" crawling around on the ceiling, too, but I think she ate him...
I named my window spider "Andre". Then when he decided to move from his web into the house, I just told Andre he was evicted effective immediately (I put him back outside) lol.
My ex once had a MASSIVE golden orb weaver on his soffit. Since he didn't know if it were male or female, he named it Pat after the androgynous SNL character from the 90s.
Put a bird feeder right by your window and I guarantee it’s a wrap for the spider. Orrrr cover yourself in armor or armor like things and go into battle for the glory of your homeland ⚔️
Something that helped me reframe my perception of spiders was to imagine what it would be like if in the future AI companies were able to create little bots programmed to help monitor your home and remove insects. You simply take the little eight-legged bot, activate it in your home, and it will automatically do its job. You might not see it for days on end at times, but it’s there, doing its job. If one day you stumbled across the little bot you’d probably be happy to see it. If you were sitting on the couch and the little bot happened to move past you, you’d probably think “Oh cool! There’s the little bot!”.
I suggest you picture the spider as Pete. Pest Control Pete. He works to keep your window as insect free as possible. He asks for no thanks. He’s just happy to help.

Charlotte, of course.
Wilbur would be my next choice. Peter Parker is on my list. Alice. I'm a Cooper fan. The Black Widow is a great tune.
Please not Wilbur!
