Do you name your fish?

I have one fish that seems to be visible the most often. She (Glofish, zebra danio, rounder than the males?) is named Dorothy after Elmo's goldfish. My daughter named her!

Nope, I do not let the kids name them either.
Seems to be instant death for a fish to have a name.

They must survive a minimum of 3 months to have a name but usually more like 3-4 years before I give them one. Currently I only have two in my tank with names; Kamakazee (after she jumped out of the tank and hit me) and Beast. I guess I probably should name that longfinned comet that I've had for 5 years now.
eh... wow, surprising low number... maybe i'm just a dorky fish dork

Well, I used to have one silver goldfish, named it Lucky and I was surprised it lived so such a long time in my giant relish glass jar with pebbles(nitro bac/somas buildup) and until the day I felt that inside me that it was necessary for him to be in a big tank...Unknowingly about his carp bio, I... placed him in a 20 gallon with...freshwater and with some silver dollars....Without the fish knowledge, I didn't know I made a terrible, terrible mistake because goldfish are coldwater fish and SD's are tropicalwater fish. Luckily he actually survived sometime! But I suddenly had a bad feeling while I was away, I thought he will be nipped by my SD's, but knowing the SD's were peaceful and I knew they wouldn't do harm to lucky; so I was correct, he didn't get hurt/attacked. He survived the temp for a few weeks and he died unexpectingly, because I didn't know anything about the water chemistry, fish's natural temperature and all that. From that day, it's just been fishes with no name.....unless I get one silver goldfish someday, I might as well name him/her Lucky. Going for a pond in the future.
