Koi Names

Non-Koi people sometimes think it’s strange that many of us name our fish. I found this string online and thought it would be fun to see what others name their fish. If you give me your list of fish names, I’ll present it here too.

Cindy: Snow white, Glitters, Sunny (changed to Dummy), Hot Lips, Mohawk, Dottie, Freckles, Lady, Sash, Marble, Tiger, Cramer. The feeder goldfish are "The Gang" and the golden orfes are "The Little Rascals". The Catfish are the "Nightcrew" and the turtles are Frienzy (real friendly) and Timmy (kinda timid)

Tom: My koi are Watson and Crick (the discoverers fo DNA’s double helix). Watson being the larger showier koi matching James Watson's persona. Crick (after Francis Crick) is smaller and a little more timid. My shurbunkin are Mendel (after Gregor Mendel) and Morgan (after Thomas Hunt Morgan). I've only named two goldfish so far; McKusick (after Victor McKusick) is a pale creamy orange instead of a bright orange that reminds of an IBM. Trans (after transketolase) is a deep orange goldfish with brownish fins.

Nedra: Mine are all called "Here Fishie"

Laura: Vader, Chewey, r2d2, c3po, Luke, (Who I have recently found out to be "Leia") and Creamsicle, and Georgia. In answer to the next obvious question, I don't even really like Star Wars. My son named Vader, my mostly black shubunkin, and the rest just sort of happened.
