Help me name my Marble Dragon Halfmoon!

[smellsfishie]

I have had this guy for like a month and I just can't name him! Background: This is a guy I bought from aquabid.com. I was buying another fish (Pencil), who the breeder told me was not doing so hot, so he was offering a second freebie fish in case the one I ordered died. So he showed me a white betta to be my freebie and I was not thrilled. So I asked for more options. He sent me like 5-6 more pics of other bettas that were STUNNING! So i chose a yellow HM (Chester Cherub) for my freebie, and then HAD HAD HAD to buy this other guy for the addtl $20 cause I could NOT pass him up...... Before I brought him home I named him "Robocop" cause thats what he reminded me of from his breeder photo. But now having him here, he is so much more gorgeous than I imagined and so amazing that I feel he needs a much better name! I just can't think of one! So, longwinded story complete, here's some pics for reference, and maybe the story will help get creative juices flowing for good name ideas!! Thanks!!!

Breeder photo:


6/15/11 When I first got him, all stressy and no black whatsoever :( he didn't recoup for a week or so. Had to use some "general cure" to perk him back up.


7/9/11 (Now):

He's gorgeous!! You could just call him that? lol

He reminds me of a tidal wave(: He truly is magnificent!

The flash makes him look more teal but he is a darker blue in person, more similar to the breeder photo blue but not quite that dark. He is very skinny (despite feeding him lots... and lots... and he eats like a pig) and he is very friendly and curious. Never stops moving when he sees me. But if I am not there to feed him, he rests inside his little cave :} like a dog in a dog house :P He reminds me of a painting with his colors. He also has a very white face, in person... and so sort of reminds me of a ghost but I don't like ghosts so I don't want to name him that!

I also just watched "How to train your dragon" (SO GOOD!) and so I am almost wanting to name him Dragon or Toothless, but maybe those names are not regal enough?! Please help. lol.

ha! well, I pretty much HAVE named him fish, so far! :P That, or "little fish" is what I call him when I say hi...

Those japanese wave prints are by a guy named Hokusai. Maybe Hokusai or Hoku or Ahok? I think the wave print was near mount Fuji too so maybe Fuji?

[BetterBetta]

I think Fuji would suit him well :D But then again, so would Hokusai! As soon as I saw your betta I thought of that Japanese print but didn't know the name of it >:(

He looks awesome =). I love the Japanese print. It reminds me of the power of Poseidon or Neptune, Greek and Roman Gods of the sea.
