My sis named 2 of my fish.
My 2 juvenile platies are named the following: bubba (aka bubba sparx) and manifest destiny (coz this platy is such a survivor when the adults wanted to eat him when he was a fry).

Of course I name my fish:
long narrow black fish who will be longest
big getting bigger green fish with long trailers
spotted fish who will get the biggest
happy greenies who stay on bottom
cruising black/red sharkie
roly poly funny baby fishies
elegant small long finned couple
the rawhide bunch (rollin' rollin' rollin', keep them fishies rollin')

J/K they have names but it's quite personal :Angel:

I stopped naming mine ... not that I have a lot of mortality, but it's easier for me to lose a fish known only by its species name, than one I chose for it. Personalization makes loss worse. And I'm a wuss.

Can't name mine...everytime I do they end up dying....
Started with my first fishtank as an adult living on my own...

Hotlips the white goldfish with orange lips
Hawkeye the other goldfish
Burns the pleco...

Hotlips ate Hawkeye and started in on Burns...
Vicious female!

Now I have a male and female royal blue betta splendens, and I just refer to them as "he" and "she".......lol

It always has been for me...everyone else has a name...and they are still alive...must just be the fishies that have issues...

The turtles are named after medieval armor (Half-plate, Full-plate, Ring, and Banded), the dogs (Issac and Xander) and cats (Confucious, Cambian, Constantine {who will only answer to the name "Pinky" thanks to my husband}, and Connor, are named after famous people. Bearded dragon is Jupiter, and the parakeet is pseudo-mob name "Bird-face"........pretty eccentric...
You have several horses, right? What are their names? I'd really like to get a pair of Belgian geldings when we build our new house..named after my two favorite LotR Rohim characters... Theoden and Eomer.
