To date, a considerable number of people decorate their offices or apartments with the help of a variety of aquariums - large or small, filled with simple guppies or bright exotic fish. In short, these pets are very popular for busy people. Their care is the most minimal. For young children, this option is also not bad. Care does not take much time, but it teaches responsibility. However, here is the question! Kids (and indeed adults) often try to come up with names for fish! And this is not at all surprising. Like any pets, they are family members. Accordingly, the names for the fish give them personality, make them full friends. So what do you call these little frisky aquatic pets?
Names for fish: appearance or sense of humor?
So, more details. You can pick up names for fish without any problems. The main thing is to start carefully consider your favorites. Many, for example, focus on color. It can be Striped, the Sun, Ryzhik, Chernushka, etc. And some owners are used to focusing on sizes. For example, Tolstopuz or Toddler. In such cases, the names of the fish will be obvious to all people around.
Or you can “turn on” also your sense of humor. That is, to come up with any extraordinary names that raise the mood for you and your friends. Say Taranka or Piranha. Some comedians come up with particularly sophisticated nicknames - something like a herring under a fur coat. Usually, such names are chosen by their young people who want to stand out with wit among friends.
Although you should not forget about the behavior of the fish. Observe it, and you can draw the appropriate conclusions. Someone will call his fish Lazy Boy, someone - Zadira, someone - Obzhorik, and someone - Shustrik. An ideal option would be such a name if the character trait of your pet is pronounced.
Celebrities, translations, technology
There are other interesting options. You can give the fish the name of a character from a movie or celebrity. For example, such names for fish as Cleopatra, Schumacher, Cousteau, Nemo, Tyson, Dracula, etc. Thus, the fish can easily tell not only about her character, but also about the idols and preferences of her master.
Another interesting option. If the name you invented doesn’t sound very interesting in Russian, translate it into a foreign one. Instead of Beauty, the fish can become Belle, instead of the Light - Fire, instead of Black - Black.
And you can also associate the name with new technologies. Today, fish are often called Sotikov, Googliki or Yandex. Such nicknames for their pets are usually chosen by young people who "live" among information technology.
Much depends on the company.
Well, what is the name to give the fish, if there are a lot of them in your aquarium, but you see a clearly distinguished leader? Suppose the largest individual can be called the Chef or Lady Boss. The rest of the fish should be looked at by their behavior, how they behave in relation to the leader.
Perhaps one of your favorites is constantly chased by her brothers. Show a sense of humor, give her the name Victim or Game, if you do not consider it too evil. Perhaps one of the fish, on the contrary, drives the rest. Let her be a Beater or a Hunter. In general, there are many options. The main thing is to show your imagination.
And determine the gender
And finally, to summarize. What names can be given to fish if you do not know their gender? Pick up something neutral. That is, for example, the names Nemo, Willy or Sammy are suitable for any fish. But if you have decided on the floor, an unlimited flight of imagination opens up for you. Specialists can tell you the sex of the fish before its pregnancy. This may indicate its color, fin size, behavior. In a word, it all depends on your decisions and desires. Let your fish not remain nameless, because they are also members of your family!
