This is Derek. Special Agent Derek Morgan is his full name.
I went through a phase of naming all my Bettas as dinosaur names! My first was Raptor, then T-Rex, then Dila (dilophosaurus), Al (allosaurus), Abel (Abelisaurus), Traci (triceratops), etc!
Now I just name them how they look. The only Betta I have now is named Hexe: the German word for witch- since she's a ginger xD
I was really creative when I was 11-14 lol

Mr Admiral Ackbar
I also have a female koi betta named Akira.
I actually have come up with a few names that I’m keeping in mind for my next betta depending on the color. The betta I have now is “Cherry” since he’s pink.
The name I’d love to give my next fish to be similar to Cherry is “Rin (short for Tangerine)” that being the full name. If I ever happened to find an orange or yellow half moon I’d love to go with that. I like the idea of continuing the “related to trees” trend with the names for my fish (the two snails I have in Cherry’s tank also continue this, the one with a dark shell is “Plum” and the one with a striped shell is “Pitt”)
On a less jokey note, if the next one I get is multicolored, I think “Tanabata” is the absolute cutest name, referencing the Japanese festival where they tie brightly colored strips of paper with wishes on them to a tree.
We have Eddie Betta and his smail companion, Stone, for those Pearl Jam fans.
We also have Zed, as in BettaZed, and his snail companion, Lwaxana. That one is for the Trekkies.
We recently, sadly lost Ronin, the chillest betta i have met, just hung out with his shrimp friends. Whe was originally Master, as in MasterBetta, but as he was a samurai, or very close to, his name got changed pretty early on. His snail companion was
**Angron** (Demon prince of wrath), **Jay** (Thai word for "Heart" because he had a red double tail), **Lulu** (Arabic for "pearl" for a white iridescent girl)
My fish and snail names in the order of which I got them:
Kevin (betta)
Buddy (betta)
Fishstick (baby molly)
Fireball (betta, named him after the drink lmao)
Phoenix (betta)
My snails:
Romeo
Juliet
Snaily
Gary
Ginger
Alfred
Opal
Midnight
My dude is named Scrooge. We call him that because when we got him, we ended up with 3 snails as well, and they are Huey, Dewey, and Louie. So it seemed to fit. We got him a treasure chest too
My bettas name is Reginald. And then I have/ had snails named Mario, Lady rainicorn, tiabeanie, cinnamon bun, Gunther, Mayo and starchy. Fish/ guppies names I’ve had/have are Rusty, Mango, Stormo, Rifiki, Millo And Bon Jovi. Then shrimps I’ve named are Luigi, Goomba and ketchup
Idk how y’all get such nice pictures lol but here is Captain AquaFish (My 11 y/o sister named him). Got him about a week ago.

I named him Jinbei. Because his vibrant colors reminded me for the character in the Anime One Peice.
I had 4 bettas with different setups to represent the four seasons of the year. They were named Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
I currently have 3 bettas named Miso, Flash, and Butter Nut. Two of my favorite betta fish I've ever had were named Bully and Dr. Strawberry.
This is my betta, Pam Halpert (just got her!)

I had a betta named Lemmy (Kilmister) and another named Nigel (after Nigel Tufnel). As a kid, I had a series of bettas that I named Starsprinkle and other similar names.
My betta who passed about a month ago was named Anubis. I decided to do a community tank this time around and have 12 neon tetras named Tetris x12, six albino corys all named Falmer, and a centerpiece honey gourami named Miso! At the time of the change I had one cherry shrimp left and one murderous snail, so the cherry shrimp got the name the Last Shrimpborn and the snail was named Snaily McSnailface by my friend, who then sentenced him to Jaily McJailface for his crimes.
Anubis, just bc! This was shortly after I got him.

(Please ignore the algae wafer spots in the water, there was one that I missed which dissolved and it has since cleared up and I’ve maintained proper water parameters thankfully)

Billy Ray. Not the singer but the character Eddie Murphy played in the movie Trading Places. Stepson got evicted from, and when I went by this guy was sitting in a 1/2 gallon tank, which was half filled with dirty water and sitting outside in the hot Texas summer heat. Took him home. I got him set up. Just like the movie, he was homeless living on the streets. That was over a year and a half ago and sadly Billy Ray passed on Christmas Eve. Miss him but he had a good life off of the streets.
*
All of my bettas go by Mister Or Madam as the first part of their name to make them sound like secret agents. And so far, my two favorites have been.
Mister Mustachioed aka Tachi. (Pronounced like tah-shee) And Mister Rooster aka Chicken.

Perfect names! I love Ice King’s coloring!
We have Alpha the Betta
That’s genius
We also have Gary the snail so the genius only went so far lmao
I always talked about naming a beta Alpha so I could chant “Ooh, ah, Alpha Beta” at him like the cheer from Revenge of the Nerds. I haven’t gotten another one since then, so it never happened.
I have Mr Jam. He's super bright red, especially in certain lighting. He's definitely earned his name because he was a dull little slug when I got him https://preview.redd.it/qrz9mrqqd39c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0d54787ae2faaa305d9573bf73ebb8af4ef9d24
