So I got a new betta today and I’m completely smitten with it! It’s just so beautiful and is so friendly just like the very first one I had! I love how he follows where I go across his tank, and he chases my finger when I hold it close My others I never had a problem with naming, it just seemed like they were supposed to have that name, but with this one I’m stuck. I want it to be perfect, something that clearly mirrors its beauty and elegance.
So I submit this to the great minds of the Dope, Name that fish!
First, because it’s a tough sounding name, and what fishie is tougher than a Betta?
Second, because it’s the name of the Giant that protected Hera. He had a thousand eyes, so he could watch over her. While he slept, some of his eyes always remained open. When he was killed, she took his eyes and placed them in the tail of the peacock. Peacocks were thereafter sacred to Hera, and wandered her temples at will. And your beauty reminds me of peacock feathers.
Darwin the WhyBetta says, “Blurb, bubble, bubble bloop!”
I really like WhyNot’s suggestion, and I realize this doesn’t meet your criteria for elegance, but I will nevertheless submit the name I gave my first betta: Sid Fishious.
My others I never had a problem with naming, it just seemed like they were supposed to have that name, but with this one I’m stuck. I want it to be perfect, something that clearly mirrors its beauty and elegance.
