yes! MY clown is names Nemo (original I know) and my bicolor blenny is Benny. I only have 2 fish so of course I names them, but if you have hundreds of fish that you can't tell the difference between it would be hard to name them and tell them apart.

I used to name mine until all of the ones with names started dying.
Now, none of mine have names and they're alive. lol

I had a snail named "lips"...
If you ---- your head slightly to the left you can see how he got his name.

I had a false perc that I called Bozo - I think my mother started that - and a Purple Psuedochromis that I called Jimmy, after Jimmy Hendrix (Purple Haze). Other than that, my fish have always gone nameless. Now, it's just "The green fish," "The blue fish," "The red fish," etc.

Yellow Tang - Rah (Egyptian sun god)
Naso - Odin (top Norse god)
Firefish - Dudley (he is kind of a dud of a fish)
Scooter blenny - Fido (kind of reminds me of a dog)
2 Clowns - Mary and gary
2 Chromis - No names, can't tell them apart.

I named my tangs but since I got rid of one, and some others died on me, I decided it's pointless. Who knows what will happen to them. Plus I doesn't sound good when your friend goes How's Bubbles? I'm sorry it just sounds gay when you and your friends are guys talking about fish by their names. Just my 2 cents.
But when I did name my fish:
Purple tang: Jules (Jules Verne 20000 Leagues Under the Sea)
Yellow tang: Bubbles(Kid at the fish store named him before I decided to buy him)
Sailfin tang: Regal (No idea where that came from, first thing that came to mind)
