My DPs are just called the marbles and my F8 is called Spotty Muldoonican...Spotty Muldoon by me and Doonican by the OH (think Val Doonican) so I merged the two :lol: My second F8 has been called Mickey because someone with keen eyes noticed she has aMickey Mouse shape on her tail 8)

I finally named my Abei puffer, and his name is Abe (creative, I know). Suits him, though. :)

0 x F8 - (RIP ttypuff & Bittypuff)

Here are mine-

GSPs
Mr. Fattykins, Chunkypuff (there used to be a Creamypuff too, RIP), Mishe Mishe To Puffpuff Thuartpeatrick (Mishe Mishe for short, a play on a line from Finnegan's Wake, just for the ridiculousness of it)

F8s
Ittypuff, Bittypuff

If I ever get DPs they'll be named after quarks, like Strangepuff, Charmpuff, etc.

I'm so sad there's already a Baron von Puffington, I wanted to name a puffer Lord Puffington!

Sadly the Baron passed a while back but you can carry on his legacy. :D

So, what have you named your puffers?

Eric
Haha... my Pleco is named "Hoover" :)

Our GSP is called Daisy. I think she seems like a girl. She likes to flirt with my hubby even though *I* am the one that feeds her! :lol: Great nature to her.

My GSPs name is George Saint Piere or GSP for short.

I couldnt resist naming him after one of my favorite MMA fighters, not to mention the name jumped out at me as soon as I saw the moniker GSP.

i am the opposite of those who don't name their fish. my gsp has FOUR names. why? i dunno...i seem to call him something new each time i see him. he'll probably grow up with identity issues.
Grommit (Grommie)
Wiggle Worm (Wiggles)
Freckles
and Puffy
thankfully i decided Kermit didn't suit him, which makes things slightly less complicated...

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!
Pami.
My name is Mags (short for Margaret). 8)
My GSP is Gobo - named after Gobo Fraggle from Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock. Gobo (the fraggle) is an explorer, and has a rather 'biting' personality. Its suits Gobo the GSP perfectly. :lol:
