Name my fish, win a (cash!) prize

I just got a Beta/Betta (pick correct spelling) fish. It’s blue and red.
The fish needs a name. “Sushi” is out, 'cause that’s what the previous one was named. All other suggestions will be considered.

The prize for the best name is 10 cents (US$0.10), via PayPal. Really. If I use your suggestion, you get a dime.

“Bait.”

Country Joe.

On another SDMB thread somewhere, there was a reference to a fish named “Bicycle”. I like that one, too.

“Purina” as in the cat food.

Eric.

I once considered buying fish just so I could name one of them Eric. Python fans will understand.

“Call him Ishmael.”

Okay, a beta is often called the “Siamese fighting fish”. Perhaps a good name for a piscean pugilist would be “Mohammed Ali”?

Ick (one I’ve used in the past for a pet fish)
Gill (from that movie with Bill Murray…I forget the name)
Alpha Betta
Nessie
Darwin (like the Darwin Fish)
Mr. Fins, the Cold Blooded Vertebrate
von Fish
das Fish

would you need to buy a fish license for that?

I once had an angel fish named George. I had four angel fish named George, come to think of it. I still think it’s a great name for an angel fish, or any other tropical fish. I feel very close to George for reasons that defy easy explanation.

I also had an angel fish named Agnes. They’re both good names.

Chainsaw?

Wanda.

Fluffy.

What you need to do is buy another fish (since they’re betas, get another one of those little bowls). If your current fish is mostly blue, get a mostly red one, and viceversa.

Name them:

One Fish
Two Fish

Professor Fuzznuts?

Hans.

Gunslinger–

It’s Betta, capitalized, definitely not beta, and is pronounced like “Mo’ Betta Blues.” Does not rhyme with “See ya lata.”

And you should name him *Stick, as in “This is my fish, Stick.”

Rover. whhhhooofff!

Red Rover.

send gunslinger right over.

Name him after my old newt, Leviathan.

And, of course, one for the fruit bat.

I vote for Judge. Great name for a dog. Why not for a fish, too?
