Most of my fish don't have names with the past exceptions of the monster one's like Brutus, Godzilla or Thug or a pair of giraffe cats called the Hoover Twins. Currently the only two I have with given names are my mated pair of albino Senegal Bichir's, Darwin & Tampon....

We named a few of em. Usually just names that describe how they look or act.

BP named chubs
Betta named julio- the ladies man
Another named the Dude-from the big lebowski, hes an oddly peaceful betta

Have a molly named mustachio- has a black mustache

And our auratus is named jerkface.

Most of these were named by the misses, but she stopped after some of her favorites died. Boy did she cry.
 
I name the special ones.. used to name all of them, but when you sell them it seems to suck a bit more when you give them names... haha!

Mbu Puffer : Kaleeko
AT Datnoid : Muutu
IT Dats : 3 of them - Tic, Tac & Toe
NTT Dats : 2 of them - Bonnie & Clyde
Delhezi Bichir : Spike

We had a RTC named Hoover.. he was pretty sweet!
& a 1 footer Tiger Shovelnose named Wilson

And then one Angelfish (out of 4) is Lola (She's a marbled that's about 7'' top to bottom fin).

My family usually ends up naming them... I don't

Only one I ever named was my Tiger Shovelnose... named him Albert (not to sure why... just felt that it fitted well)

We have hundred's of fish. I can only think of a handfull of them that have names by me. My 24" albino channel just got named alphabit soup.:ROFL:I kinda like it, so I guess that's his name.:D
 
Schooling fish no names. Here are my fish names.

Keyhole cichlid - Carl
ebjd- mr sparkels
green severum - Nip
BN pleco- bristle
clown pleco- hermet
red severum - mr pink
heros notatus- spot
blue acara- Marge

Sometimes the names just come to me other times they don't so they don't get a name.
