I have a polypterus with one eye i named it One eyed willy.

Female 1: Love Juice
Female 2: Tor Fin
Female 3: Fire Fin
Female 4: Steel
Female 5: Ruby

BN Plec: Mr Hankey (gf's choice, I don't think she likes him lol)

CAE: Pikey

The rest I haven't bothered naming lol
 
I dont tend to intentially name my fish (mainly because I normally keep shoaling fish so its hard to tell them apart).

At the moment my pair of blue rams and called Mister and Misses, one of the flame tetras is called Bob and whenever anyone in my family talks to me about my fish my blood shrimp is called "lobster" (because when my sister saw it she thought it was a lobster...).

None of the other 30 or 40 fish and inverts have names though I can tell most of my flame tetras apart (out of the group of 16).
 
My girlfriend and I name all our aquarium pets, we lead a sad life...

First, my girlfriend's fish:
1. Large angel fish: Calypso
2. Small angel fish: Wednesday (it's all black so was named after the daughter in Adaam's Family)

My pets:
1. Rainbow shark: Skittles
2. Red claw: Chopper
3. Albino Sucking Catfish: Gonzalis

My son's:
Phantom tetra: Tetro


Plus we also have:
2 x snails: Lotto and Shelley
2 x tetras: The Mafia
2 x Kuhli Loaches: Bill and Ted
 
2 of my gold corys - mickey & malory
African dwarf frogs - the male is called quagmire the 5 females are his 'chicks'
fancy goldfish - kuuga & ryuki

I did name all the fish but have stopped calling them by their names, they are just 'pandas' or 'otos' the above are the only ones that get called by their names.

In the past I've had;

2 senegalus bichirs - gomez & morticia
4 gouramis - bela, lugosi, lon & chaney
2 bn plecs - boris & karloff
geophagus - hannibal(even though it was a female :lol:)
bandit cory - ben
2 panda corys - one eyed jack(he only had 1 eye) & jerry
 
2 Piranha: Orry and George
