Fish naming
Anyone here name their fish? I just read a post about someone getting out of the hobby and how sad it will be to let go of one of his prized fish. Makes me wonder...does anyone name their fish?
Do you take it a step further...do you name your corals?

If it moves, it gets a name. My Thuridilla gracilis sea slugs are named Gracey and Sluggo.

My boyfriend named a couple of the things in our tank.
The CBS is named Jacques and our starfish is named Patrick. My Kole Tang is otherwise known as "Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles."

My current clownfish is Minerva. The other one that had resided with Minerva jumped two weeks ago, and I didn't find him until he was a very crispy critter.
Now, here's where I must warn you.... never allow people on LIVEJOURNAL to name your animals or pets. These are some of the real names my pets ended up getting saddled with because, after sixteen years, I've just run out of names. They always end up being funny and great names, but absolutely ridiculous. Check these out. Pookie King of the Deep (the crispy clownfish) Antigone Decepticon Frying Pan (coral beauty angelfish) Jacques Jemima Coustea (skunk cleaner shrimp and mascot for Pancakes!) Andy (peppermint shrimp that Jacques ate) However, my personal favorites had to be the names my pet turtles got saddled with because of livejournal... Walton Turtlebot (red eared slider) Sir Thomas the Duke of Kent (musk turtle)

When I first set my tank up my wife wanted to name the fish but I try not to because if they die names tend to make me more attached to them which would lead to me being more sad about losses.

My wife coined the name B*tch for my aging gold bar clown because EVERY time our hands go into the tank she bites us,
 she named our monster brittle star sigmond , I named our unicorn "pig". ah aren't those names that roll off the tounge.

My Hippo Tang's name is Tina, so when it's time for a feeding, I can say, "Tina, you fat lard! Come get some dinner!"

My fish all have names that my wife gave them. None of which I can say on here
 JK She likes them just fine. I don't think she would ever pour Teraki sauce into my tank like someone elses wife did on this board. But seriously my Sailfin tang who is the boss of the tank is named Fin! My Marine Beta is named Comet, My pair of Vanautu Tomato clowns are homey and clown. Yellow tang is Pooh, purple tang is Freckles, coral beauty is Bunny,

I like to name my fish but I have a hard time coming up with names at first so usually they are just my "new fish" for a couple of weeks! My flame angel is Pyro, my clown is Al, my blue midas blenny is Indy, and my possum wrasse is Leia (I'm a Star Wars fanatic)!
