my friend dustin bought me two betta fish for christmas it was such a wonderful and surprising gift, i was thrilled! we are trying to come up with good names for them. one is pinkish white, and we have arbitrarily decided it is a girl; the other is blue and red -- the boy. the blue one is perpetually pissed. the pinkish one is much more chill.
i've got a list of names i am considering, but i'd like some input from hatrack. merry christmas, happy holidays, terrific thursday, y'all.
some possibilities: cleo and tony ceasar and brutus gracie and george (after allen and burns) ike and tina (a personal favorite) fric and frac bonnie and clyde fred and ginger clark and lois hector and achilles gregor and samsa
i am partial to the arch rival/jilted lover name combinations.

they are in a container with a clear divider down the middle. and they have two separate little hotels for when i clean their home
trust me, after watching them this afternoon i know at least one would surely be dead by now if it were otherwise.

My roommate and I each bought a fish once and they lived in a blender (with the cord disconnected, of course). I named my fish Bono, and my roommate thought another celebrity with a single name would be appropriate - so she named hers Madonna.
It was really funny when we got into a car with a couple friends after I had been away at school and my roommate informed me that Madonna had died. We allowed at least 5 minutes of frantic incredulous conversation fronm everyone else before we clarified that Madonna the fish was dead. That's always fun.

If there was ever a name for a creature that lives in an aquatic environment, Trogdor the Burninator is it.
