Naming Your Fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My girlfriend names all of my fish and whether I like the names or not, I always end up calling them that anyway...

Silver Arowana: Harry
Humerosa Ray: Daisy
RTGG: Dexter
8" Royal Pleco: Pleco Fantastic

She doesn't bother naming the small stuff lol.
 
When i was real young and just starting to get into fish were talking 6-7 years old i would name all of my parents tetras i all ways thought of them as mine so i would name them and sure enough they would die a short time later and i would be heart brocken same with the Reptiles my perants let me have ( thinking back i wouldn't of given them to me at that age :grinno: )

Now i only call the fish there common or Scientific name never give them people names Except for my leopard Gecko his/her name is max plus when you do have to part with your fish it makes it ezier

Only thing i would name would be mabye an Aussie lung fish or something that might out live me
 
I name all my fish:

Cetiva-manganese
Unnamed yet(brand new)-dovii
 
My wifes large silver Arrowana is named: Slick
My TSN Catfish is named: Little T Rex
My female Dovii is named: Little Raptar
My new F1 male Dovii is named: Cannibal
 
I have named a few:

2 JD's - Micky and Mallory
2 O's - Brutus and Maximus
2 Jewls- Sparkle and Pixie
1 little silver unknown handmedown fish- James

The rest I haven't named just yet...
 
I named my Buttikoferi

Buttikoferi: Joey Buttikoferi (I was hoping to get a pair and name them Joey Buttikoferi and Amy FISHer)

My kids have named some of my other fish:

Turquoise Severum: Sargeant Severum
Spilurum: Bob
Jack Dempsey: Mr. Jack (although I think it's a female)
Nicarauguense: Nick Cichlid

Firemouths I no longer have: Senor and Freddie Firemouth
 
I don't name them but my 2 year old has named a few.

White Tiger Oscar - "Zoe" (Sesame Street)
Red Tiger Oscar - "Grovie" (That's how she prounced Grover from Sesame Street)
Turquoise Severum with Blue - "Ashie Fish" (Her name is Ashlynn)
Turquoise Severum with Red - "Sissy Fish" (She calls her sister Sissy)
Gold Severum w/dot on eye - "Sally" (Pixar's Cars)
Gold Severum w/dirty look - "Mater" (Pixar's Cars)
Senegal Bichir - "Dino" (My wife prodded her on this one)

The rest she calls by their common names.
 
After careful reconsideration, I'm not so sure "Chick" is a chick. Can anyone give any tell-tale signs of male or female without venting?
