I haven't bought my puffer yet and therefore haven't named it, BUT when I was seriously considering a porcupine puffer I was gonna name him "yoda" You can't tell me you don't see the resemblance! Maybe someone else in this thread has already named a puffer that. I skimmed it, but there are 25 pages!

My puffer's name is Baby Doll. He/she is a 1.75" GSP that I am absolutely in love with; adopted last part of August.

Well our nile puffer was called Alfie but as he has just laid loads of eggs across our tank we think a rename may be called for!

my fahaka is called big ale,his so funny and is a snail muncher,he is only 2inch long so people laugh at his name but i no how big he will get so i think he will grow into the name

Oops, Baby Doll died from unknown causes. Now I have a 3" GSP named Cuddles and a 1.25" GSP named Bobo. And yes, they're named after characters in John Waters' movie, "Polyester". :D

i got a 10cm Palembang Puffer adequately known as Homer, since all he does basically is hang out in his hole and only ever seems to swim when i feed him, although even then its only to get to the food, and then its back into his cave...

We named our GSP Meatball.... because after reading some threads on here we must be overfeeding her/him and we figured from day one that it looks like a Meatball.
