do you give your fish names? I've named a few of mine. Such as, my shubunkin goldfish is named "Fat Bastard" because he really is a fat bastard(think austin powers) and my EBJD is named Magellan (after the blue gin). Of course, then there are those fish that all look so similar, its hard to tell them apart.

I don't get into naming my fish but that doesn't stop my wife and kids from doing it. It comes in handy though. When I'm away from home, I can ask my wife about specific fish by the names that she gives them. The scientific names don't always make sense to her.
