Dragon R.I.P - not quite sure, just fit him i supose
Helios - hes gold in color, reminds me of the sun so he is named after the greek god of the sun
Cielo - he is clear/white colored, it reminded me of a cloud... cielo= cloud in spanish

Nimbus - he is white so I wanted to name him after a type of cloud.
Thor - I got him the same time as Nimbus so I wanted another weather type of name and Thor means Thunder.
Jasper - He is kind of named after Jasper from Twilight. I know, LAME:roll:. He looked like he had red blood splattered all over him when I first got him so I named him a vampire name. lol I also love the name too.
Terence - He is my daughter's fish and we named him after Tinker Bell's friend in the movie.
Tito - I was looking for a name that had to do with fire (he is red) and I came accross this and I loved it.
Taji - Taji means yellow and silver. I call him Taj for short which means crown. He is a yellow crowntail so the name is perfect.
Cannon - Well, he is a dark blackish brown color so I thought the name fit.
Leonidas (RIP) - He was a silvery color and someone suggested naming him Leonidas because it looks like he is in armor. :)

I knind of obsess over names... I was the same way when I was pregnant.

I knind of obsess over names...
me too. I love naming my pets.

Speedbump (RIP)- Was yellow it fit, but he came with his name.
Firefly- named after the show, but it also kinda fit his coloring and spring theme tank i felt like.
Firedrake- A synonym for dragon and he has a blood red body and a fiery themed tank
Lyre, The Golden Boy (RIP)- named after the greek instrument and he was a golden butterfly betta that reminded me of some mythylogical ancient greek something or other
Pegasus- He is pure white, named in memory of Lyre in a greek theme after the beautiful winged horse
Phantom- he was so good a seemingly disappearing even when there was only a heater in his section
Spartan- He is a black and red with some white tips and some green in his scales and he is a crowntail. wanted some fiery name to match his look.
I don't have a name for my last betta yet.

eta- I decided to name my last betta (the 2nd melano w/ blue) Knight. I got the idea from My Squishy's Leonidas. Mine reminds me kinda of a handsome knight in shining armor, so in a way my new one is named after Mr. Leonidas. :) But also, it is a play on the two words Knight and Night because his coloring reminds me of Night too :p

I look up names online if I have to XD
Okay, all of my bettas- in order.

Darwin- I don't know. I got him when I was maybe eight or nine? He just seemed smart, and I thought the name suited him. Just popped into my head.
Clarise- Same with her! Don't know why. Just a name that suited her, popped into my head.
Polkee- he was goofy XD Named him after Gumby's horse, only I changed the spelling.
Augie- Again, don't know why! He was such a teeny fish and the name suited him.
Nereus- he is so graceful, and had such long, flowy fins when he wasn't a tail-biter when I got him! Nereus means "father of the sea."
Veles- He was playful, and Veles means "god of trickery."
Peanut- He was so tiny XD I believe Dramaqueen suggested his name.
Hattie- Don't know. Popped into my head. XD
Norm- I was watching Fairly Odd Parents to pass the time (wierd show) and it happened to have the genie Norm in that episode. I thought the name Norm just suited him.
Spiridion- He was pale with pretty much no color on his body. Looked like a ghost! Spiridion means spirit in Russian.
Tallulah-Faye- A name that reminds me of fairies. (It was a tie between the two, so I put them together.) Tallulah-Faye had a rather fairy-like demeanor- she was shy and secretive.
