I have an mts too, and I just decided I'll call him lebowski or the dude, because he's so chill and just randomly appears.
 
Some of my platies are named after forum members.  There's a feisty young wagtail male called Eagle, a reclusive adult male called Amin and a bright sunset called Snazy.
 
Clarabel is named after Thomas the Tank Engine's carriage (there was an Annie but she became Amin when she decided to be a boy instead :lol:)
 
There's also Cutie the young sunset male, so named because he was born in the QT tank :)

my guppies are biggs and firetail (i aslo had comet and shadow) (all male)
my platies are shifty dream (i was told he was a female and he looked like one then he turned out to be male), firefly (female) and sunset (male) (i also had black lips which was female) (yes i know i need another tank to put one of the platies in so its not two boys and a girl just need more room)
when i had blue neons they were the blue quads
 
Wow!  I had no idea so many folks named their fish like I do!  My friends usually think I'm weird for naming my fish.  In fact, a friend of mine asked me why I named my fish, when she names her plants in her garden.
 
Very cool names though!  Some made me laugh. :)
 
I have only named one fish, a Zebra Danio who has been named Chief due to his 'leadership' skills in running the tank.

I don't name my fish unless they have a unique feature or do something particular which stands out to me.
 
Bubbles - Bolivian Ram - because he blows bubbles from the airstone
Pearl - Bolivian Ram - because her irradescence reminds me of a pearl
Chupa - Pleco - because he sucks on the glass and wood
Raisin - Gold Spotted Pleco - because he loves raisins and sorta looks like one
Red - Green Tiger Barb - because his pectoral fins are bright red
Dale - Clown Loach - because he has some unique spots (play on Dal-mation)
Troy, John, Briggs, Stratton, Toro - Silver Dollars - because they devour plants
 
I have not yet named all the other fish, because while I mostly recognize them, they don't "stand out" enough yet to receive a name.
