I need help naming my puffer!

Post by pinkfloydpuffer »

I am having a heck of a time trying to name this little puff. It's a figure 8. I'm not sure yet what gender I want to call it either. Here's a few names I am considering
Newo
Alyosha
Torrance (or Jack Torrance)
Mort (or Mort Rainey)
Fletcher
And I'm always open to new suggestions. I tend to get most of the names of my fish from bands/songs and movies/tv characters.
Anyone wanna throw in their two cents? :)

Call him Coin after the Sourcerer in the Terry Pratchett book Sourcery

Wizards are forbiden to ever mention the number eight, the reason for this is if a Wizard has 8 sons and his 8th son has 8 sons and his 8th son has 8 sons and his 8th son has 8 sons his 8th son will be a Sourcerer the most powerfull wizard imaginable

You have to read the book for it to make sence :)

If you have never read any of Terry Pratchetts books you should give them a try, they're very imaginative, witty, funny, clever books

One of my Beagles is named Fletcher. Got the name from a book my mom used to read us as kids...http://www.amazon.com/How-Fletcher-Hatc ... 1892657007 Still got it and read it to my kids!
"Darwin swings...annnnnnd a miss. Boy Jim, Chuck's suffered at the plate tonight. He's 0 for 3 and I'm not sure he's recovered from that shoulder pull a few weeks ago. I'll bet the front office is re-thinking that contract."
