    haha. I think I would be the one to name my fish...or at least my favorite one. When I had my coral beauty angel, I called her Patricia. :p lol.

    I don't think I named the two cleaner shrimp; if I did, they obviously weren't very good names, seeing how I don't remember them.

    my wife named all of ours in the beginning until one died and then she was convinced that if she named them they would die.... (or at least she would be attached enough to care..;)

    We named 1 of the gobies 30 minutes after getting him. He jumped into the overflow and it was a big production for me to get him out. As I tossed him back into the DT I called him a non-family-friendly word, we call him AH for short. The other one we named Spot (he's spotted, as are all fish in the tank LMAO). This way we know which one we're talking about when recounting their antics. The cleaner shrimp is Antennas.
