Dive into Personal Connections

Think of the things that make you you. What are your passions? Maybe your betta could be named “Sirius” after your favorite Harry Potter character or “Maui” if you love Moana. Perhaps a special word in another language holds meaning for you. A nickname from a funny memory or inside joke could also be the perfect fit.

Name by Appearance

Your betta’s stunning colors and unique features can be a goldmine for names. A fiery red betta might be “Ember” or “Crimson,” while a shimmering blue one could be “Sapphire” or “Neptune.” Does your fish have elegant, flowing fins? Maybe “Queen,” “Princess,” or “Prince” would be fitting. Even unique patterns or markings can inspire names like “Spot,” “Marble,” or “Ziggy.”

Capture Personality

Is your betta a little ball of energy zooming around the tank? Names like “Flash,” “Zippy,” or “Sparky” could capture that spirit. Or perhaps your fish is more laid-back and chill. “Zen,” “Peaceful,” or “Tranquil” might be more suitable. Maybe your betta is constantly exploring and curious. “Finnegan,” “Dory,” or “Curious George” could be fun options.

Gender-Specific Names (Optional)

If you know your betta’s gender, you can choose a name that fits accordingly. For males, classic names like “Apollo,” “Thor,” or “Hercules” might be appealing. For females, elegant names like “Athena,” “Luna,” or “Aurora” could be a great match.

Bonus Tips for Brainstorming Success

• Write it all down: Don’t be afraid to jot down any idea that pops into your head. You never know what might spark inspiration!
• Mix and match: Combine words from different categories to create unique names. “Blue Moon,” “Ember Star,” or “Zen Warrior” are just a few examples.
• Say it out loud: How does the name sound when you say it? Does it feel suitable for your fish?
• Research: Look up meanings and origins of names to add depth and symbolism.
