Hi all...hope this is the right spot for this, and let me know if it's a dumb idea:dunno:
I think it would be fun...but maybe I'm the only one who likes fishy names and hearing about other names?

Do you name your fish/tank inhabitants? What are their names, and why?:lookaroun

I'll start if you let me know if this is a good idea?

Royal Gramma - Caesar (his predecessor was Spartacus)
Coral Beauty Angel - Boudicca
Bi-color Blenny – Antonio (his predecessor was Armando)

Skunk Cleaner Shrimp – Scampi (predecessor was Cocktail)
Sea Hare – Gwendolyn (her predecessor was Buffalo)
Tiger Tail Sea Cucumber – Chaz

We’ve also had Thor, a firefish, and Dash, a purple firefish. Oh, and little Levi (short for Leviathan). He was an iddy biddy clown.

Jen- Liberace is fantastic! Love it! :}

Well, we have Flippy the evil 6-line wrasse and Buddy, the garden eel. There's the yellow/scopas hybrid tang, his name is Lil' Al (named after an RS member :D), a BW saddleback clown named MiniMoe who was supposed to be introduced to the much-mourned BW saddleback clown Moe.

Formerly we had Spot the more evil domino damsel, but currently Spot is holding court with a scopas at the LFS.

There have been more, but I forget right now.

I have 3 chromis - Huey, Dewey and Louie and the new addition a lawnmower blenny - I'm still trying out names for him - started with Lonnie, but it doesn't fit, been calling him Benny and that seems to suit him better...

Yellow Tang: "Lucky" because he survived being sucked into a power head.
My fish usually die when they are named so I try not to name too many of them.

I see that many of us think alike when it comes to our shrimp :)
I have a skunk cleaner named "Pepe La Pew" also, and he has a girlfriend (or so I tell myself) named Penelope. Used to have a peppermint named Patty, but I think my 6-line ate her in my old nano cube.

I have a pair of ocellaris in my QT, one black and white, one orange and white, waiting to be named. Any ideas anyone?

Cool names!
Shrek the pink spot goby- he's a dead ringer for his cartoon counterpart, except for the green part.
Mandy the (male) mandarin- maybe he doesn't mind the girl name
Scotty the Scribble face rabbitfish named for and recommended by an RS member
Trixie the scooter dragonette purchased and named in honor of my 19 year old Chow/Collie mix dog which passed away last year.
Bobo the clown fish- he's not very funny though

I never thought of naming my shrimp...hmmm.
