Over the years we have named many fish, here are the ones I remember:

Past Names (assigned by fish type, not unique to any individual fish):
yellow tail blue damsel = bob
coral beauty angel = bill
yellow tang = betty
spotted hawk = bubba
GSM clown = bozo
marine betta = beauragard
formosa wrasse = barny

Present Names (assigned by my 11 year old daughter):
ocellaris clown = bozo
fourline wrasse = stripes
yellow tang = sunshine
yellow spotted mandarin = spot

there were others, but these are all I can recall.

I tend to refrain from naming my fish nowadays b/c it seems like whenever I name something, it dies shortly thereafter. Here's some of my names for past fish:

Sea Hare - Trapper Keeper 4000 (you gotta be a South Park fan to know what I'm talkin' about)

Lawnmower Blenny - Gustavo

Niger Trigger - Shaft

Cowfish - Kenny

Blue Throat Trigger - Cartman
(the Cowfish used to spit water outta the tank and then it died, and shortly after the Cowfish's death, the trigger began spitting water so the Cowfish's soul was trapped in the triggers body or....Kenny's soul was trapped in Cartman's body, if you will)
[once again you have to be a South Park fan to know what in the heck I'm talkin' about ]
