Three fish here.
- Dingleberry (fantail) Horrible, I know. He does live up to his name though.
- Googley (black moor) named for his huge eyes
- Suckerfish (pleco) Cause that's what he does.
In the future, if I ever get a larger tank and can house more goldfish, I plan on getting a lionhead and name him BT. BT being a joke for "Brain Tumor" that my boyfriend made note of when he saw them and commented on how ugly they were. I think they're cute, honestly!

I don't actually say this out loud, but I think of my male guppy as Boy George. Don't ask me why. :huh:
My son and wife has named all of ours
Betta - Twinkle Little Star
Gouramis- Roxas, Sora, Fire, Ball
Red Wag Platy- Emp
Tetra - Marco (sadly Polo died on the way across country)
Clown Knife- Sword
Gudgeon - Beluga
Ray - Pep
I know one of the Corys name is Bob, cant remember the rest.
My Wife would kill me if I forgot her pride and joys
Koi - Ricky Retardo (dumbest fish I have ever seen, but I think he might be blind because he runs into everything at full speed all the time)
O-Ushi (OK I named this one, I just like that name and it looks like a japanese flag with only one red spot on its head and the rest being white)
Specs (just a spotted goldfish)
Goldie (and just a goldfish)

my old beta was legolas, but he died. my new beta is Gimli. my pleco is harry after harry houdini: when i got him at the LFS, he dissappeared in the tank. it took us like 5 minutes to finally find him hiding. my gar are hercules and minimus (i thought about maximus, but he's a little fella). the tetras are too freaking fast to count, let alone name, however the littlest one's name is Nina (my gf named it). steve the snail got his stuff rocked by my tetras and is now steve the deceased. lol
I've named solitary fish in the past and I've named some pairs. I don't bother with names when I buy 6-packs of the same species.
