Help Me Name My Fish

That’s some badass paper mache. Wow. Totally puts you in the running for Coolest. Teacher. EVOR.

He kind of looks like a “Guppy” to me. :slight_smile: (though Snarglechops and Ghoti are pretty awesome too)

Phinn?
N. Cisor?
Freaking Nightmare?

Ishmael?

Cuddles

What a spectacular specimen!

That’s a rucciface if I’ve ever seen one.

Either that, or Puddin’.

Pythagoras

That’s a cute angler.

[sorry]

Is that a… LAVA LAMP in the background?!?

I think Snarglechops the Sea Kitten has a certain ring to it.

Or you could name him Monty - he makes a great conversation piece.

If not Phil how about Vigoda? :wink:

Snarglechops, The Friendly Sea Kitten.

It’s a no-brainer…Nat Pagle.

Stick.

I saw the name suggested, and I knew.

I turned to look at the beast, who is currently hovering about 2 feet behind my head in my home office, and I knew.

My fellow dopers, I give you Vigoda, the friendly SeaKitten. A salty, crusty old guy with a heart of gold who will fuck your shit up if you mess with him or his friends, got it buster?
Thank you, Lute Skywatcher!

Snarglechops was a great suggestion, but it didn’t quite capture the feel of the guy in person. I’ve got to give a shout out for Pythagoras from mnemosyne. That almost was the one despite the pun.

Thank you all for the suggestions, everyone! If I decide to go ahead and make a 3 foot tall bunny rabbit covered in reptilian scales as my next project, I’ll run it by you for more naming ideas. :smiley:

Wow. That’s quite the fish you’ve fashioned there, leafrog.

In fact, it’s downright Lovecraftean.

Therefore, I think you should name it after The Man Himself…

Call it Howie.

Albert the Fish. Should keep small children from destroying him.

Rabbit? That’s easy: Harvey.

WoW Geek!

Actually, I was going to suggest Shane, for Shane McGowan of the Pogues.

Vigoda is AWESOME!!

Do you have photos of any more of your beasties?

Thanks, Green Bean! I have to admit, Vigoda is only my second beast, but he won’t be the last!

The first beast I made was a dragon, which is OK. I made it from following the directions from a book I bought off of this guy’s website (who, coincidentally, is also a teacher and currently teaches some of my former students. I found that out after the fact). I really like the fish he made, you can see the video on his front page.
I’m happy with my dragon, especially the scales, but definitely learned a lot while making it and would change some things (the face and eyes are too hard to see) if I could.

Heh, I haven’t named him yet, either. Maybe he should be Snarglechops!
