Where Did Your Betta'S Names Come From?

'Jack' just because i like the name
'Mikey' because i got him the day Michael Jackson died
'Littl'un' (RIP) because he was so tiny & never seemed to grow.
'Kai-Lan' after a tv character my son watches

Armani, Channel, Dolci & Gabanna are my girls who are all divas!!!
 
Concerning band memebers as name choices, my next male will without a shadow of a doubt be called either Eldritch, or Sexgang.
 
I have spiderman/petey [pk] - named by the other half lol because of his colouring

and I dont have names for the other 2 =[ I cant think of anything! I need help please lol

and my females are practically all related to their colour =]

I have Honey, Peach, Apricot, Candy, Cherry, Garnet, Bluebell, Violet and Sookie

right now im missing Garnet :\ I hope shes just in the plants somewhere I havent checked....
 
First Betta was a red VT - named him Torres (Liverpool FC fan), then came dark blue VT - kept with the same sounding name - Boris (after Boris Johnson) and swore I would never get another as it's too upsetting when then they die, but was at the lfs getting plants for a small tank I wanted to do as a shrimp tank, when peaking out of the plants was the most the lovely (runt!) turquoise delta tail. Needless to say he is now with me and this time I've gone with ...... Morris!!!
 
I have:

Osiris - named after the ancient Egyptian God of the dead/underworld/afterlife.

Orion - named after the stars. Someone suggested it and it suited him.

Balthazar - named after one of the Magi . . . not the wise men, the super computers in Neon Genesis Evangelion! I was going to have Caspar and Melchior as well, but the names didn't fit my other boys.

Ffinsan - because he was sans fins! He's one of my rescues and now he is Ffin-san because he does have fins!

Aurora - named after the northern lights because she's pretty and very delicately coloured. Mother suggested it and it suits her!

Deimos - after one of the moons of Mars. I'd always wanted to use it and he was just so unusual that I thought the name suited him.

Showers (RIP) - named by his previous owners. He was DOA but he still deserves a mention.

Rei (RIP) - named after my favourite character in Neon Genesis Evangelion. She was the same colour as her name-sake's hair (blue). I miss her.

Lilith (RIP) - named after the 'female' angel in N.G.E. She wasn't very angelic but I loved her and I am so sad that she is gone.

KTs (RIP) - there were 6 of these. All looked identical and as my housemate Katie didn't have a fish named after her, I named all the red girls KT. They all passed away in the great columnaris disaster. My favourite was KT 2.

My partner has:

Goliath - he's big and sexy. It suits.

Cygnus - named after a Mars Volta song. He's also very pale and pretty, so it suits (cygnus means 'swan').

Nightshade - our third rescue. He's dark blue and a dude. It just suits.
