Name That Fish
« on: December 17, 2004, 02:48:47 AM »
So, my roommate Stephanie got me a betta for Christmas.  He's blueish purpleish and really really pretty.  She said it reminded her of me...wonder why....

Anyway, I can't decide what to name him.  Anyone want to play name that betta?

(Sidenote: What really disturbs me is that now I am no longer fishless!  I'll have to rename *me* too!  Or maybe I'll leave it.  Now I'm just being subversive.   ;D)

Aristotle

or

Hadrian (but then you'd have to buy the fish a wall)

Hadrian was a Roman Ceasar.
Built a big wall in Great Britain

I just like the idea of naming fish after once powerful people.

I'm a big proponent of giving pets a rank.  I had a potted plant once who was named Admiral Horatio Nelson.  He lived about a year.  (Yes, I name my plants.  But I don't talk to them.)

I just named mine Flush.

Sadly, he lived up to his name.

Or died trying to live up to it?

Sounds like he had a draining experience.

Hum....

I'll have to think about it.  On a side note, however, I did receive the Christmas lights for Roy.  I'll post some pictures of his bowl here as soon as I can steal one of my roommates' digital camera.  Thanks, Fishless!

Yay picture!  I was beginning to wonder what happened with that.  I was beginning to suspect that the fish had died and I hadn't been informed.  

Anyway, you're welcome.

My roommates and I had a red and blue betta during my senior year. We named him Dr. Seuss, of course (red fish, blue fish...). I like that name.

Or, you could name him Raisin.  You...like...raisins. ;)
