Well, my wife, being the comedian that she is, has renamed my Figure 8 (formerly known as Dougal). Now, he's named Hoover (which I love since he's like a little snail vacuum - which was her observation). :lol:

So, what have you named your puffers?

Gunther (Fahaka), Butterchubs (the cutest of three SAPs), and They Who Are Yet To Be Named (the other two SAPs). :mrgreen:

You know, I rarely name any of my fish. I have a betta named Bubba because he is so aggressive and stupid, a big goldie named Big Mama since she is so incredibly fat.. Out of the 70 or so fish I own, that's it hehe.

The puffers are generally "puffer dude" for the SAP, "little girl" for the smallest of the dwarves, and the other two dwarves are "big girl" and "little man". I guess that's the closest I come to names for them hehehe.

The others lives nameless lives...

My first figure eights were named HRPuffersnStuff (RIP) and Snufflepufflegus.
Soon after I got a GSP and her name is just, well, GSP. Since then I have acquired figure eights Khumari, Bob and Big Boy and another GSP named Polka.

I named my two Fig8s Puffkins and Speckles (so named because he had terrible ich when I got him).

I have 6 DPs, but they're all called "little puffs", because they're all to small and move to quickly to tell apart.

Well, My GSP, Petey the puffer, is enjoying his new tankmates Doby the Goby, Bennie the blenny and Dimmit and oh gosh darn, ma! damsel. Can you tell my son helped with the naming?

My F8s are called Mags, after a friend, although she's also unofficially called Rouble.
The best bit was when gay friend Robert met his underwater namesake - who had a bit of a gut at the time.
"He's fat. And he's poisonous. You named an overweight poisonous fish after me. Am I meant to be gratified by this?"
Heh heh!

I wouldn't normally name my fish, but my little sister enjoys naming any animal, and she very astutedly (is that a word?) pointed out that my one DP in particular has a potbelly and that he is, indeed, a pufferfish, and thus the name "Potpuffer" was born from her mind. Of course, the implications of the term are those which a seven year old is oblivious to; however, I proceeded to name the other two DPs "Crackwhore" and "Junkie". I want to give the brigs snail in there (as well as the 10 others on their way) a french name, but I have yet to look up a list.

My GSP doesn't have a name yet, but I am thinking Wilbur because he IS a pig.
