This is my new boy. I've had him for 2 days and he's still nameless! Poor boy needs a name

What do you think

 

[Shadyr]

Looks like a Sugarplum to me

 

[thekinetic]

Yeah I would have to agree.

 

[a123andpoof]

Royal, King something to do with the wealthy. My line of thought leads he is purple and purple used to be a sign of the wealthy.

Very cute boy!

Diablo or snapdragon-or sugarpum, but I think it's a bit girly for him!!!

 

[Keroro]

I keep thinking something like Milo or Manny--he's a boy so typically they're given male names, but he has very feminine colors so I feel that something more casual would suit him.

Gumball!

I like Diablo I also like Orchid, Snapdragon and DragonFly. When he moves it's often quickly, he doesn't glide like Kyon does and it reminded me of the way a Dragon Fly zips about above ponds but his tail is very petal like so I like floral names but most just sound so feminine but Orchid and Snapdragon are a bit more masculine. It's soo hard! Kyon was Kyon from day one! This little boy came to me on tuesday and is still nameless!

Hm...for a fast guy you could go with Gusto, or maybe Sverre (Norse for 'wild and restless'). Maybe-
Klondike
Dude
Oberon (king of the Faerie)
Baldur (or Baldar, or Baldr the Brave) Norse god
Lockheed ...

so many choices! I'm sure anything you pick will fit him well. I have a little purple guy that's been nameless for two weeks, and my boy Rudis didn't get a name for a month. He went by Little Blue Fishy. But it was worth the wait.

[lelei]

Well, he's purple, name him "Prince"..lol..kinda cool..??

 

[Sheldon31]

I like that twilight! How is it pronounced?

 

[Twilight Storm]

Honestly I'm not sure. I found a site that has an MP3 of how it's pronounced but I can't listen because my speakers are unhooked atm

Not knowing how to pronounce it right I'd guess like Loy (roy)... I'm probably completely off base here though lol. Just thought it was a neat name. Plus I generally don't ever talk to my fish and say their names. It's usually "Hi guys! Time for food." Or other stuff like that I just saw your guy and thought festival. he's kinda grizzled like he has points of light all over him.

 

[xShainax]

I like Gumball

 

[Sheldon31]

I'm not entirely sure of his tail/colour type. I know he's a lavender and probably a VT but his tail tapers to a point. His pale face and coloured body makes me think Piebald with some grizzle. His colour is amazing when light hits him.

Great suggestions everyone I might just put them all in a hat and pull one out and go with that

 

[Sheldon31]

And the name that came out was.......






ORCHID!

 

[Shadyr]

It can be a problem with bettas, the boys are so pretty that many names which would suit their appearance might be less than masculine

 

[xShainax]

Yeah, Romeo isn't a manly name lol

 

[Sheldon31]

His pale face has made me think of things that are ghostly or vampiric today.

 

[bahamut285]

Obviously Perry!
