There are an infinite number of pet fish names that can be applied to any fish. Fish are very difficult to understand so their names are not direct references to the fish’s personality like a dogs name may be, but they are often related to their color and shape, just like a fluffy cat getting named fluffy. The more creative and interesting the name is is a reflection of the owner’s own wit and intelligence.
For example, a lover of Melville might name their fish Moby Dick, or Ahab while someone interested in Star Wars may give their pet fish names like Skywalker, Darth Vader and the like. People name their fish after their favorite sports teams, politicians, movie stars and even machines.
Other interesting pet fish names are Anchovy, Astro, Banjo, Beetle, Buttercup, Bozo, Boink, Bojangles, Cha-Cha, Chomper, Cervesa, Cyber, Disco, Dizzy, Denizen, Elmer, Ewok, Foxy, Fly, Flipper, Gonzo, Groucho, Grizzly, Gargamel,
Hammer, Ink Spot, Jazzy, Jingles, Klepto, Loco, Lefty, Mambo and countless others. Almost any word can be used as a fish’s name.
