      help name my fish!

      Any of you who have known me for the past 2 years probably remember Orpheus, my beta fish, who kicked the bucket last year



      Well, I just got a new one, and since y'all helped me come up with a cool name for the last one, I was hoping y'all could help again with my new one:



      I really like mythological names, especially those having to do with water

      Out of personal nostalgia... Goldy! I was 5...

      What about the japanese for fish. I don't know it, but it must be unique and interesting. Beautiful language...

      Hey, my mum had one of those, but he died when she moved house. She called it 'Sushi'. I always thought that was an excellently ironic name for a fish, especially as she has a cat...

      RIP Sushi...

      Call it U-boat

      Or perhaps: Sea-ninja.

      I googled for 'god of the sea' and Njord is a keltic sea god. Intresting name.

      Nice fishy btw!

      The kanji for fish is: 魚 and it's read as "sakana" (I think?)

      Osiris is the Egyptian god of the dead and ruler of the Underworld. What a crappy job that must be.

      And my vote remains for Leviathan.

      I still say Happi. Its such a cute name and it has an interesting and fitting mythological story to it. Osiris is to common and creepy for a fish. youll be happy with happi .. then again you could always go with Seven.

      Fish: рыба pronounced something akin to "ryba" except the ы is a letter more like the "oo" if you were trying to say "foot" in the back of your throat.

      Name him Aquarius!

      Then, every time he has a birthday, you can sing:
      When the moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars!!!
      Then blah blah blah.
      Blah blah.
      THIS IS THE DAWNING OF THE AGE (say number of years here) OF AQUARIUS! AGE (here too) OF AQUARIUS! AQUARIUS!!!! AQUARIUS!!!

      Yup.
