Just for amusement sake, anyone want to....

[Papillon]

Help me come up with a new name for my new Betta which I will be getting this evening....

I am at a loss for original and interesting names... As you know I already have Lancelot!

Anyone up for a small challenge??? *celebrate

 

[ducksarefun]

hmm... I LOVE naming fish, animals, etc... but I usually do best after choosing the fishy/whatever. Maybe something will come to you when you see him! Or you could always look up siamese names or words. I think I'm going to do that with my next betta. (and there *will* be more bettas, i love 'em!!)

how about jghdiy5tikbvkluytyetesh5tuuuuurewytrsyhyrww3?

 

[Papillon]

Unless I am welsh I don't think I can pronounce that...

 

[Iggy]

Sure.. but I usually prefer to see the betta first before I name them. I usually try to go by there color and attitude.

OK Finchy was named by my 3yr old daugher
Rigel was named after the blue supergiant star
Reena was named by my wife
Shelby was named after my gaming callsign
Ruby was named by my daughter after the Ruby & Max kids show

Hmmm... red male betta names?
Galahad
Crimson
Firestorm
Triton
Antares (Red Star)
Proxima (Proxima Centauri is another Red Star)

and my favorite...

Betelgeuse (a gigantic red star)

this is cool... Galahad it is......

And you have one a good dose of appreciation, thanks!!

Now when I go look for Mr. Fish I will find one that matches the personality!

Thanks a lot,

Marie

Great... knights of the round table!!!

 

[Papillon]

Cool names what can I say, and I am English so I am drawn to them!

Marie

 

[revfred]

How about just plain old "Bob"?

 

[Papillon]

I thought about about Henry.. But I am leaning heavily towards Galahad, to go with Lancelot....

 

[Angelfish]

Seriously lets get the king Arthur times down! How about ... Arthur?!

homer the fish

pontus: greek god of the sea (not poseidon, who was god of the ocean...this mythical "sea" surrounded the world (aka greece)"

how about something Civil Warish (my era of expertise)...Shilo? Picket? Sherman?

 

[420Loach]

how about max power!!...lol j/k. heh heh, no but seriously my uncle had an english bulldog named sir Bumpson Hollowsworth I (i think he was really drunk when he named him) and we just called him bumpy.

i think "bumpy" would be a cool name for a betta.

I just named my new betta Travis Bickle

 

[Papillon]

Well I got my new fish.. Beautiful, big and red, his name is Henry... It just stuck...

Marie

 

[1979camaro]

glad you got the fish...and found a suitable name

 

[revfred]

Henry is a nice name . . . solid and dignified. I will say that Bill2k1's "Travis Bickle" is VERY original.

 

[Papillon]

Thanks everyone for your input.... I can always refer back to this thread, because I am sure I will get more fish. ... As I am hooked on this hobby!!!!
