How to name your Siamese Fighting Fish / Betta !

When you acquire your first fish or even if it is your tenth, how do you name him or her?

What would be an appropriate name? Some people would just use a name that they chose before they bought their pet. Lots of others struggle to find a name that would suit their particular pet.

In this article I would like to recommend some names that you may want to use for your fish.

Seeing that the Siamese Fighting Fish has an origin in Thailand and other South East Asian Countries, I have taken some names from the countries which you may want to use for your pet fish. Our own ‘Samurai’ is a Japanese name, but seemed to us as appropriate for the type of fish that Siamese Fighting Fish are. I will give the names with an explanation of what it means and if you feel you would like to use it, it will be my pleasure.

MUAY THAI! (Thai Boxing) & SILAT! (A Malaysian form of martial art) supposedly originated in Sumatra, but has been changed and perfected on the Peninsula for hundreds of years, so, these are two other names that you could use.

KUNG FU FIGHTER! Although a Chinese Martial Art, could be another good one.

NINJA! A Japanese name would probably fit as well.

As you can see most of the names I have suggested are taken from ancient warriors or from various martial arts. All would fit in with your naming of your Siamese fighting fish. There are probably a lot of other people who would prefer giving their pet just an ordinary name such as MAX or LUKE. Nothing wrong with that, but have I some other suggestions also.

RAMBO! Also sounds good.

TERMINATOR! and GLADIATOR! Good movie names.

JAWS! Although not really appropriate seeing that your Siamese fighting fish is so small and has nothing like the jaws of the great white sharks. Nevertheless it could be quite a cool name.
Some girls names could be “ GUINEVERE” a fabled princess, the famous “ JOAN OF ARK” or “ SUPERGIRL”.
I think that if you can wait until you get your Siamese fighting fish and then watch him/her for a few days to see what sort of personality they have then give them a name that would match. This would give you some time to check them out, see what they do and how they respond to you. Give them a name that would suit them and also make you happy.

You will find that they are very beautiful fish and each one has their own personality. The different colors that you can get can also influence the name that you give them.

What I will do is ask anyone who has a Siamese fighting fish to send me some names of their pets and then I will make a list and put it up on the blog.

So, keep you eyes peeled for that list and don’t forget to send in the names you have chosen for your pet.
