My mom usually "names" them since she doesn't know what they're really called. Rainbow the solor wrasse, perchy the flame hawk, scoots the green Mandarin, big head the yellow watchman. Actually there was yellow big head and white big head.

No names here, always seemed strange to me, plus it is kinda hard to name a fish how about gills, or phineas? Lol maybe Il name them now

 

[Dashiki]

I don't name them but they are all referred to as females.

Golden Dwarf Moray Eel named Elie, Starry Blenny named Starlash(eyelashes shaped like stars).

 

[Cyber-Burn]

We name all our fish, just doesn't seem right to be talking about "that fish" all the time. Nemo was the big thing around when I got my tang, so it only seemed logical. My clownfish are named after characters in the Whole Nine Yards since they are the "Gangsters" of my tank.

Regal Tang: Dory
Female Clown: Tulip
Male Clown: Figs
Matted Filefish: Uni

The only fish I've named was a Sohal Tang I once had: The Great Khali (a giant wrestler for those who don't know)

I literally just started a reef project so the only fish I have right now are a couple of Chromis just so I have something moving around. I didn't intend to name them but find myself calling them Lightning & Bolt.

 

[SmokeyCFH]

I do when I'm in the mood to name them...creativity gets to be difficult at times. I named my FW tank.
Oscar - Admiral Ackbar
Marble Goby - Panzer
Bichir - Liquid Snake
Arowana - Ryu
Wolf Fish - Darth Sidious
Ripsaw catfish - Matrix (John Matrix from Commando)
My oldest fish, a pleco, I named Chewbacca.

Saltwater I've only named one fish and that's my Scooter Blenny. It's name is Scooter McGavin.

Picasso clownfish with the helmet marking: Poseidon, king of the seas.
Other picasso clownfish, but missing one of the bottom fins. So therefore, like missing a leg like a pirate so: Captain Jack Sparrow

Tiger Blenny: Tigger
Pistol Shrimp: Pistol Pete, named after Pete Sampras.
