[Gemmylou]

Frank. He's beautiful but really grumpy!

 

[mfcclc]

Scarface- he had a scar down one side from an injury (rip)
Shimmer- bi coloured cambo girl, she had a beautiful blue sheen over her whole body (rip)
Pink- cambodian girl with pink fins (rip)
Henry- my sister named him, bright blue veiltail (rip)
Bruce- Named after bruce lee, unfortunately he also died an untimely death (rip)

Current bettas:
Cooper- beautiful copper/yellow ct boy
Vinny- Blue and red vt boy

Betty- vinnies red coloured girlfriend she has blue streaks on her fins
lavvy- lavender cambo ct girl
cybil- pinky blue ct girl
doris- red girl with blue flecks
cyan- light blue ct girl

Have a new ct boy coming but haven't named him yet, he's bright red so ideas are welcome

I love NASA as a name! Do you spell it Nasa or NASA?

My betta fish names are Ares and Pisces, but I plan on getting more and naming them Gemini and Nova, maybe Aquarius. I like naming bettas after space objects like constellations; I think it gives them an otherworldly quality. Pisces even has a little crystal pyramid by his tank with the astrological sign and his name on it.

Besides, there are lots of pets you can give cute or silly names to. But a dog named, say, Enceladus for example, is not going to be taken seriously. With bettas, they don't know their names anyway, but they look very graceful. You can give them a more serious name, so I like to.

There are some cute space names though, like Quark or Orbit or Oort (after the Oort Cloud).

Mother's betta ( the one in my sig ) is called Duncan. She named him after one of the singers in that crap boyband called Blue. Because he's blue. How original.

The girls-

Sakura ( the pink one from Modaz )
Lapis ( has a strong blue shimmer )
Clarice and Cora ( identical twin girls, brownish red with a little blue in the fins )

And the PK male who masqueraded as a girl up until a month ago is now called Bronson due to his violent nature.

 

[electric yellow]

Ramjet - coz he's red
Pinky - coz hes pink
Petal - because shes gorgeous like a petal

I must correct this...

Ramjet
Pinky died
Petal is now Shimmer because she was infact a he!

Another change....

Ramjet - red VT
Shimmer - maroon and blue shiney PK
Pinky - pink VT that died
Night Light - blue VT <--newbie

I'm terrible at coming up with names.
Silk, sold as a half-moon and with too much tail to flare even if he wasn't too good-natured to do more than pose, got stuck forever with his temporary 'working name' because I could never think of anything good enough for him and doubt I ever could.
He was the first male betta I ever absolutely had to have, and was the first I ever bought, may he live forever.
May they all...
Confetti, a crowntail who had no membrane on his swim fins when I got him and could only wriggle on his belly and barely struggle to the surface at all, so that I had to fit an upturned pail in his tank for him to rest on while his fins repaired and he gradually learnt to swim like a fish, acquired his name because he has 'curly' confetti-like rays.
He was the second male betta I ever bought.
Cygnet, who I call a combtail although he's probably marginal crowntail, (what do I know?) but has very long, flowing, tissue-fine fins, was yellow when I got him, a colour I don't actually like, went through shades of orangey-pinky (not my favorite) tones, began developing a gorgeous green irridescence much to my delight - love green bettas - but only a bit on the fins near the body and it hasn't spread.
He's the only betta I've ever seen whose colours clash.
Still beautiful to 'mum', of course.
And 'Ugly Duckling' would have been rude...
He's the youngest, a mere whipper snapper and I think I've only had him about a year..
Haven't named the betta rutilans or any of the tussyae, and won't get into loved and lost bettas - no more 'rescues' for me.

I don't know how so many people comeup with such nice names for so many fish...

Well ours you see in my avatar is called Gillup, named by my daughter. Not sure what inspired her but it seems to have stuck!

 

[JasonU]

My betta is officially known as Tom.

He is sometimes also called Trouble.

After the illnesses he had round christmas time I also call him Lazarus.

When my eight year old niece joined the girl guides she told me that the easiest badge she could get was for keeping a pet. Her dad is allergic to just about all animals, what he is not allergic to her mum has a phobia of, including fish.

I suggested that if she wanted the badge she could choose any fish she wanted along as it was a Betta and keep it at my house. She named it Tom after my grandfather, he always wanted his grandchildren named after him, nobody ever did though, so my niece decided that she would name the fish after him.
