As I mentioned previously most of my fish are named by my little one, but I have named 2 and my "other half" has named one as well. One I named Rapps after Jeff Rapps a Hemibagrus Filamentus. It was one of the last fish I bought from Jeff and I was going to miss our occasional chats so I named the fish in honor of him. Unfortunately, after 6 years my Tachysurus decided one day the Fila would look better with one eye. It was gory and heartbreaking, luckily the Fila survived and is still with me.
The little one names the fish the minute they arrive. I still remember every name and so does she easily identifying them. First was that PITA Tachysurus who's called Grandpa fish because apparently, he looks like my Father. Then a Flowerhorn named Lily. I still remember my initial reaction to that one "What!? No! He's a boy fish and he's mean." "but Daddy he's so pretty" I grumbled to myself and said fine. What're you going to do. So, this tough guys name is Lily, ah well. Lol There are others and some with even more atrocious names like Globy the Platinum RTC/TSN. Again my initial reaction was "What!? No!" all I could think is kid do you know how much this fish cost me? All she said was "but Daddy" and I begrudgingly acquiesced. I did say though kid you gotta let me have some of the fish, okay? She said yes but I know that's a pipe dream. Lol
Only one did her Mom beat her to the punch. It was straight up a jealousy thing too about how much I spent on the fish. So, the fishes name is a reflection of his price and she posted it to FB so she could complain to anyone who asked about the fish and odd name.
It's cool though she's actually really supportive of my hobby. I guess I just went a little too far with that one.
