What names have you given your fish?

[John58ford]

We only name the centerpiece fish, we do still name the breeder selected male endler guppies too. If you have several tanks and a *few* Betta, it's easier to say rex or Judy or whatever than "the blue and white female in the cylinder". Same with the line selected endlers, go grab the juvies out of Shazam 3s tank is easier than asking my boys to go get the peacock/black bars. I do have a generational naming convention for them though. The kids usually name anything new that needs a name, but occasionally my wife who's interest varies week to week will make a slip and the name sticks; my alto calvus is now ugly Calvin. He's not actually ugly but (relative to Bettas she thinks he is) she wanted to relay something to us about him and that's what came out and stuck.

I usually name singular fish, but if I have a bunch of ones that all look alike I just name them all Fred or something. I named a group of 7 corys c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, and c7. I just called them the cervical vertebraes.

So we have 6 albino bronze Cory called Fincent, 3 gold gourami called Finessa, 5 swordtails called Finabelle (yes, even the male), 5 amano shrimp called Shrimpy, 2 Otos called George, and 2 nerites called Bouchra.

I don't usually name my fish, but my daughter named a few of them, she is not living with us currently but one or two names have stuck. Most notably Henry, an L129 pleco that gets spotted maybe every 6 months or so, so a sighting is worthy of a message to my daughter (we saw Henry today!). And recently a little black emperor tetra has appeared in one of my tanks, all the original emperor tetras are normal not black, so we do sometimes call him, not very originally, Blackie - as in "Oh look, there is little Blackie! "- he doesn't appear all that frequently though lately is becoming more adventurous. My husband sometimes gives them nicknames, he calls the severum Big Bertha, and the Hyphessobrycon tetras that are similar to serpae tetras he calls collectively the "Stir Fries" - as I originally told him I was thinking of getting serpae tetras and he thought I said stir fry, it stuck.

I mostly have just named my Bettas since they look very much different and can be identified lol.
My first betta, a koi halfmoon male, Winnifred (RIP)
My second, a silver/white delta, Silver (RIP)
My third, a rainbow super delta, Colors (My little sister named him! also RIP)
My fourth, a cyan/red/blue delta, Edwin (ALIVE!)
My fifth, a red/white veiltail, Hansel also ALIVE!

There was also a little female black betta in their to, a crowntail I think that I got as a surrender but she was so badly beat up she didn't make it 2 days.

At my place, there are too many fish to name them individually... So, they are all named "Fish"...

[curioustankboss]

Goldfish- Goldie and Fan and the Oscars are - Tank Boss and Bubbles and then..Jack.. The 2 plecos have not been named.. Any suggestions??

 

[KeepKeepingAquatics]

Mohn, Nacht, licht (3 female guppies, each tail was a different color of the current German flag, names based off colors (but not the word for the color))

Líanhūa - idk if I did the accent marks correctly, based of my friend's suggestion because she said it was very graceful (female Betta)

The Toddlers- two black kuhlis who absolutely have scared me so many times, (pretty much solved the issue by getting rid of the HOB filter so they couldn't squeeze in the hanging clip or in the filter and instead having a sponge filter)

Oz- Based of The Wizard of Oz

 

[Rose of Sharon]

My goldfish were George Bernard Shaw, Walt Whitman, Bubbles and Boo Boo

My bettas - Waldo, Simon, Sammy, Sunny, Mitsuki, Gracie, Mercy, Flash (these are the names that I can remember off of the top of my head, lol!)

 

[MrMuggles]

Umami (guorami)
Beand (severum)
Tilde (Satanoperca Juripari)

Recently decided to name my breeding pair of Electric Blue Acara, Jerry and Beth Smith. Named after the characters in Rick and Morty because their marriage is dysfunctional just like the relationship of my Acaras.

Let's see... My two biggest goldfish were orange, and white with orange spots. So I, being a creative ten-year-old, named them Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter Sandwich. (A random side note is that at some point, Peanut Butter Sandwich's color randomly started fading until he was all white. So I guess he was just bread after that. )
A small, deep orange goldfish with a white face was Caramel, and a little white one with pale orange spots was Misty. Also had one goldfish out of the bunch that had longer, fancier fins, so I named him Prince. I think I named another one White Gold because he was all white, and there was one orange fish named Carlos. And I know there's gotta be more names, but I don't remember them any more.
My school principal had three zebra danios he didn't want any more, so he gave them to me. He said their names were Curly, Larry, and Moe, but didn't specify which name went to which fish, so I just decided that on my own. Curly was thin with long fins, Larry was fat with a humped back and long fins, and Moe was thin with short fins and only had one eye.

 

[Itiwhetu]

I named my first Discus "Credit and Debit" as one was purchased on the Credit card and the other the Debit Card

And I named this guy "Charlie"

Other than that I don't name fish
