Please leave any name suggestions for my fish here. I will choose the one I like the best or the one with the most requests.
Name the fish:
Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic. Posted Jan 19, 2007
I read that as "this is Babel, my fish" so ..er...I nominate Babel.

I see what you mean, maybe I should re-word that sentence. But don't you think that naming a Babel Fish "Babel" is like naming your dog "dachshund" or "Mountain Feist, Jack Russel Terrier mixed-breed"?
Although, I wouldn't have to tell people what kind it is...On second thought, it's not a bad name. It's short, easy to spell, pronounce, and remember.

My nomination for your is SMIKE.
As I am sure you are fully aware, Smike was abandoned when a child and sent off to Dotheboys Hall. The nasty, vile Squeers mistreats him there. Nicholas Nickleby rescues him.
I think that there has to be a similarity between you being in High School, and Smike starting off at Dotheboys Hall(not that YOU are being mistreated, I hope!! If you are, let me know and I shall put in a good word for you!). I just know that your will adore his new name. Is he at high school too?

Hmm?..."SMIKE"...it's interesting and unique. I shall add it to my list.

How about... THURSDAY!!!
Sorry, that was uncalled for *Snigger*
Seriously, though, how about Allit?

Plebis means of the (common) people/person. It's Latin.

Aximili Posted Jan 21, 2007
I kind of guessed that it was Latin from your PS. Thank you for the translation.

No self-respecting Thingite would dare name his fish Thy. Although I will consider Allit, but first, what does that mean?

As far as I know, Allit doesn't mean anything. It just popped into my head. And what's wrong? Why can't you say Thursday?
. Sorry, Th***ite baiting is SO much fun. Don't take it personally.

Hmm...a spontaneous name? That certainly appeals to my *searching for word, but can't find the right one* spontaneous side. *sighs (hates to re-use words)*
Name the fish:
Aximili Posted Jan 21, 2007
Random? Strange? Bizzare? Quirky? Any of these words describe your spontaneous side?
I'm signing off for the night. See you tomorrow,

Words! Wonderful Words!
I can't believe that I forgot such wonderful words
maybe I should buy a thesaurus

Polly and Pixie Posted Jan 21, 2007
Surely every outstanding young high-school chap has a Thesaurus! It would come in very handy. I wouldn't be without mine. It will have to go on your 'Wish List' or 'Needs List'.
How about a good sea-faring name-CAPTAIN CUTTLE-for your . It comes from my favourite Dickens book"Dombey and Son".

Isn't the cuttle fish a type of squid?
