Totally Useless thread: Help me name my fish - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Apostapler · 10-18-2011, 09:41 PM

So, I was driving my 40 minute commute home from work tonight, and I stopped and bought a betta fish. He's a pretty little red thing. The rest of the way home, I am brainstorming for name ideas, and I thnk, "Gee, I could name him after some obscure UM character..."

And so here are the names I came up with as possibilities:

1. Pollis- because he likes to live in a clean bowl.
2. Bonnie- because he's kinda chunky and I have a tendency to overfeed fish
3. Omar- so I can hold pinches of food over the bowl and say, "Look at it Omar, look at it!"

And this is where my mind goes in the car.

I'd name him Jule.

He looks normal, but without warning he could tear apart a salad bar and don't even dare ask him for a ride to the underwater subway station...

I totally second Jule!

Apostapler · 10-19-2011, 06:00 AM

See, that's why I love this board. Everyone plays along.

I like Jule for a fish. I'm still thinking, though.

Look at it bubble, Omar!!

For a tie-in to the missing UM fishermen theme, I'd go with either Casie Nicole or Sarah Joe. Though if you choose Sarah Joe, your fish may mysterious vanish and wind up buried in a makeshift grave on an island somewhere.

I like Ogopogo, Caddy or Champ for a UM fish name, especially if the fish is camera shy.

Is it a fish or a sea kitten?

You should name him "Coincidence" but pronounce it the way Wheeler did in the Sammy Wheeler segment.
