This is the first female betta that I have gotten in a long time! I never knew how much personality the females have as well as the males-I absolutely adore her.

Want to help me name her?

leafgirl115 · 12-17-2006, 08:03 PM

She is so cute!! I love the purple in her !

Kageshi17 · 12-18-2006, 01:41 PM

If you want a japanese name I can help you! I took 5 years of japanese and this is how I'm gonna spend it, naming fish. Hahahha! But yeah, for example, my bettas name is Akashi which means: "Red Death" ! Ha! Oh yes. Then my catfish is named Umi for beach and so on. So I can give you a list of words to mix and match! Sure hope it helps.

Colors:
red - aka
blue - ao
yellow - kiiro
green - midori
purple - murasaki
black - kuro
white - shiro

Random:
moon - tsuki
sun - san
rain - ame
devil - enma
angel - tenchi
dragon - ryuu
fire - ki
flower - hana
bird - tori

Etc...

Thank you Morgan!

And thanks for the help with names Kageshi17! I would love to name her something Japanese. It's just really sad watching me try to pronounce them. Haha. But I'll just keep practicing. *By the way Akashi is a beautiful name! what is your favorite combo of words that you listed? I cant decide on one! ahhh. haha.

leafgirl115 · 12-18-2006, 05:14 PM

i like tsuki but i might name my fish that

Alisha · 12-18-2006, 09:39 PM

hmm yeah Tsuki is a nice name.

I think I like Shiroame *White Rain
but I'm not quite sure how to pronounce it.

ch2linda · 12-19-2006, 01:51 AM

my suggestion is Rosevelt

Kageshi17 · 12-19-2006, 01:04 PM

Ok...this is gonna be a challenge, but how bout I try to help with pronounciation? Hahaha, ok here we go.

In japanese, a word like tsuki would be pronounced: "sooo-kee" but with a tiny hint of a t at the beginning if that makes any sense. Like you are slurring t with sooo. Ha....

Ok, anthing that ends with e like tsume, taboe, sake, you pronounce like the word kendo. Not an eee sound like see but an e sound like kept, or set. Ya know?

All words with a in them are not prounounced like the alphabetical letter. They are pronounced like the word talk. Ya know?

All words with o in them are prounounced like the alphebetical letter not like ooo as in tool. But like toad. So so-ka would not be soo-ka. It would be so-ka.

Ok....hope this helped. I love this language and I will try my best to help all you all not make fools of yourself in front of any asian people with your fish names. HAHAHAHA.

Alisha · 12-19-2006, 04:05 PM

Oh okay thanks so much for your help with the pronunciation! You've help a lot!

anasfire23 · 12-19-2006, 09:55 PM

Quick Question...are you sure she's a she? She looks alot like a 'female' I bought a while back that ended up being a male.

Check out the pics

Alisha · 12-20-2006, 09:25 AM

wow that male does look a lot like a female!

But I'm pretty sure mine is a female because she looks swollen with eggs and I think I saw her "egg spot" as well. However, I read that young males may also have this egg spot? Is that true?

(RC) · 12-20-2006, 03:33 PM

anything is possible, but if "she" has an egg spot and is full of eggs then you have a female.

Alisha · 12-20-2006, 10:35 PM

Okay thanks RC- That's what I figured. Thanks again.
