I have a red tail trigger named Biff and had a diamond watchman named Goby McFly
 
Bi color blenny is named - Benny
Two clownfish - Happy and Grumpy
Mandarin dragonet - Mandy
6 line wrasse - *ss (and yes he is)
One spot foxface - Spot
3 blue chromis - Larry, Moe and Curly though most often they are just referred to as "the dumb fish" because they spend hours hanging out by the nori sheet because they know it's food but no matter how much they want to like it, they just don't.
Bristletooth Tang - Lemon Drop (don't know what we're going to do when he changes color)
Royal Gramma - Skittles
Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp - Jacques
 
We name every one. I might actually make it harder when we lose one because we humanize them.

I got my porcupine puffer and eel at the same time. I named them Andy and Bobby. Anyone else get that.
 
All the fish have names, courtesy of my wife and daughters. I did get to name the clowns - Grey and Goose. The RBTA that hosts them is named Ice.
 
Black clowns Vertigo and Vader
Orange clowns Pancake and Lobster
Yellow tang Twisty
6 line wrasse Creed

Grub - Royal Gramma
