do your fish have names?

I have had my 3 black tetras for a week now. I dont intend to name them but we will see. I guess they might get nicknames based on personality. I just call them my boys, although I have not figured out the sex yet. One appears to be female based on what I have read, and possibly one other female. :huh:
 
My fish is named after a scene in one of my fav movies...I call my jack dempsey Bad Mother F*****. She certainly lives up to the name.
 
have a few fish but only one I named

sharky (siamese flying fox, R.I.P.)
 
We have named only a few inhabitants in the 60 gallon tank , due to their personailities the following:
Ruby - (albino red tailed shark)
The twiglets (group of 4 silver tip tetras)
the lads (clown loaches - from Magnum - they are like little dogs!)

in the 100 Gallon, we have again named only a few:
Higgins (Black red finned shark - again from Magnum series)
The gruesome twosome (2 beautiful catfish - no idea what they are though)
Trouble and strife (Pair of Opaline gourami)

64 ltr goldfish - Dilly, Dally, Sally and Harry!
 
Nope, no names.
 
I have two tanks. First: Al & Jordan (catfish), Bonnie & Jason & Molly & Jack (zebra danios), Cloe & Maybelle & Anne (swordtails. my male named Harley and his girlfriend Jessica died), Seth (dwarf gourami, his brother James died), i have 6 neons that arent named because they're too hard to tell apart.
second tank: Penelope & Michael & Leah (leopard danios), Mo and Josie (catfish). this tank is cycling so i dont have many fish. i plan to get some red rasboras and 2 more catfish :)
 
I tend to refer to my platies by gender and color (blue boy, blue girl, orange boy, etc). Any fish I've named have died; so I'm hesitant.

My wife's named her bettas - red male "aka", blue female "ao" ("red" and "blue" in japanese) - and so far, they're good to go, but the fact that they've got names unnerves me.
 
Mine tend to go by either Mama and Baby, because that's the easiest way to tell apart the ones of the same kind. My three identical black neons are often "Y'all" or "Hey, guys". Same with the smaller pygmy cories. I have no one to talk about them to, to point and say "Little Guy there has been with me for months now", so I wind up talking to the fish directly and they haven't sent me the memo yet about what their names are (I probably couldn't pronounce them in air anyhow). As long as I feed them and don't scare them badly, they're okay with me hanging around.
 
oh dear where to start..
my male albino bristlenose cat ~Michael Finnigan(he has whiskers on his chinnigan)
my female albino bristlenose cat ~Fiona Finnigan
my normal bristlenose male ~Mr urchinface
my albino cory ~sprog
my big peppered cory ~pattie(cos shes MEATCAKE)
my middle peppered cory ~squid
(baby peppered still unnamed)
