My partner thinks I’m weird but I always make sure we name our fish!
Would love to hear other peoples names for their fish?

We have -
In the small tank:
Pair of Mocha storm clowns called Winnie & Bobby
Court Jester goby called Mr. Jeffrey

In the large tank:
Wild caught perucla clown pair called Hansel & Gretel
Koi fairy wrasse called Bo (for rainbow)
Scotts fairy wrasse called Scotty (original I know)
Pair of blue dot sleeper goby’s called Flotsam & Jetsam
Vampire tang called Casper
Snowflake moray eel called Neil
And we’ve recently added a Sailfin tang & a powder black tang - yet to be named! I like Maleficent for the powder black though ☺️
Generally it’s me or the kids that name them, though my partner named Casper so maybe I’m winning him round with names
 
I name all of my fish. They're pets, right? In the reef I have:

Hippo tang. Dory. Tried to name her Alice, but I've got grandkids. :rolleyes:
Yellow tang. Sunshine. My wife named that one.
One spot foxface. Ray. My mother named him. Apparently, foxes are also known as Raynards. Who knew?
Melanaurus wrasse. Mel. That was my own inspired and completely unique idea.
Flame hawk. Boris (Badernoff). Just looks like he's always up to no good.
Mated pair of bengaii cardinals. Jack and Diane. Just because.
Two matted filefish. Punkin (looked like a pumpkin seed before he got huge) and Lovey. (She just loves everyone. She has no fear, and tries to school with everyone in the tank, whether they like it or not).
 
It's weird if my family doesn't give a fish a name within the first 24 hours of getting them, heck even 3/4 of my inverts have names:beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:.
e.g Bwub, Foxy, Pumpkin, St. George, Snickety-Snack, Murderous, The Sterlings, Winston, Chippy, Red light-green light (rip lil buddy), stumpers, cobra koi, Arrow, Shmeadle, Uggels, Hidey-ho, and pickle
 
I’ve named all. My tangs I’ve got dory, V, achilles, bubbles, for my puffers I’ve got Paul and bloat, my gobbys I’ve got scoots and diamond. Plus my hawk fish named ghost.
