But now I'm come back to you with a contest and a chance to win a pair of my fingerless gloves/gauntlets.
Last week was my birthday :) For one of my gifts, my supervisor at the Animal Rehabilitation Keep (ARK) gave me a new pet! A beautiful ruby red Betta! Isn't he gorgeous? Now, I'm really horrible at thinking up names so I decided to open it up to the public.
To enter this contest:
1) Post a comment with your name idea
2) Comment must include a way for me to contact you if you win (i.e. Etsy store ID, email, etc.)
Contest will end next Friday, October 9. Hubby and I will then sit down and go through the names and choose :)
The person who suggests the winning name gets to choose a pair of fingerless gloves (not mittens) from my shop. I will stitch a custom pair if the winner would like a different color than those pre-made.

Hi!
I once bought a beta for my son, he named him Bob. Bob the Beta. Nice and simple. LOL Perhaps you'd like to keep your beta's name simple too. Can't get much more simple than Bob. :)

We had a gold fish for awhile when my son was little and he named him "two pounds" don't know why but it was the best name ever.

Oh, he's a beauty! I had one in college. His name was Burford (not a great name) and he met a tragic end. 'Nuff said.
I think your beta looks like a ... Sunset. Nicknamed Sunny.
Hi Jena! I just added a red scarlet betta to my virtual tank on facebook!
BB (Birthday Betta)
Spike
Fred
Bubba (After all, you do live in Texas)
The only names that are coming to me. Good luck! :D

Well - he's ruby red, right? Ruby is the red color of corundum, so how about Corundum, with Cory for a nickname?
i like the name "Spitfire"
just popped in my head
i have a blue betta named Bret for Bret in the Flight of the Conchords.
love them!
Hi there, I am new to the tradeaholic team. My parents use to own a pet store here in Maine, so I have had many Betta Fish

Ace
Blaze
Bubbles
Cosmo
Delson
ok, not reading others in case theirs a repeat!
I like Pinot. After Pinot noir wine. :) Gotta love wine. :)
Beautiful betta!
Name suggestions:
Commodus (crazy last Roman emperor after Marcus Aurelius)
Rubor (literally "red," but it also refers to red things, and is a guy name)
find me on etsy! :)
Red Dragon would also be an AWESOME name for him, Flamingo Junction...
Mars or Ares would also be a good name (Roman & Greek god of war).
hiya marine! LOVE the new addition to your family! what about
"coral"
or "squishy" LOL - "i will name you squishy and you'll forever be my squishy!"
the second i thought "coral", squishy came right after! LOL
PNS really kicked our butt with the good names!
dorana.etsy.com
siempre- dorana
I would name him rak (akr)
When ever my husband buy a new horse he just start calling him the name of the person he bought it from. Our last horse we call Sam, nothing even close to his real name.
I still like Carotene in honor of Betta (aka Beta) Carotene. :)
I thought about Rhodopsin, but nah that just sounds weird.
Unfortunately Pookie has been taken (lol, you know who I'm talking about).
-Christa
Names are not my forte' but let's see I guess we don't know if the fish is a boy or a girl?
I'll go with Rusty for a boy and I liked Ginger from pns for a girl :)
What a cute fish! My oldest daughter says that you should name him Rex! She says that she thinks it's a nice name!

I once had a red Betta named "Almighty Ruler." (From the movie "High Strung.") It suited him.
If you wanna be cajun, you could name him phideaux (fido). (Also had a Betta named that.)
The first name that popped into my head was Clover. It's cute, and it comes from the song "Crimson and Clover." Get it?
Yes, I am a dork, why do you ask?
Isn't there some kind of red algae you could name him after?

Frank.
Whenever I am in front of a group of people and am expected to address them individually by name, I screw it up. I've given up trying, and now just refer to everyone as "Frank". Although this doesn't always go ever well, it's pretty funny if I'm in a group of 6-year-old girls.
And, well, he looks like a Frank.

When I saw the fish, it reminded me of the betta a friend had a long time ago named Rafael... Like the ninja turtle with the red bandana. ;)
But you could always go with crimson because Crimson would just be a cool name. lol
