Valentine's Day, a romantic occasion for so many couples, brings out the special offers from every business. The Florida Aquarium, however, is going another direction. While naming a star after your loved one, this is just not the same. But it is unique.

It's probably safe to say that if you're doing this, you might not get the loving reaction you want.

For Valentine's Day, you can now name a cockroach after your loved one. Yes, we really did just say that. The Florida Aquarium is giving you the opportunity to name a Madagascar hissing cockroache after your significant other. It only takes a $10 donation.
