fish naming competition

So I have six new fish added to the tank. Plus five that makes eleven! The new ones are a bit skiddish whenever anyone approaches the tank (anyone being me since i have been the only one in my house today...) I think they are skiddish because they had a slightly traumatic trip home from the pet store today.. but that's okay. they're all still alive and not sucked to the filters yet. And they're all hanging out in a little group. It's nice. Like they're all friends.

Anyway! They need names!! And you need to help! I do have a prize for the person with the best names for the fish (ie. the names i pick) and the prize will be a good one! last time it was a ten dollar starbucks card! okay, so all you have to do is comment and pick names. i don't have pcitures of them but will describe them. there is a black one with blugy eyes, a bluish one, a bigger white and orange one, a little orange and white one, a white one with a few yellow spots and a chocolate colored one. so pick six names and give it a shot! thanks for your help! and if you are reading this, it includes you! the contest will end when twenty different people have given input. bye!

the chocolate coloured one should be named kristin, or more appropriatly - kristin III - because of our dear former room12mate who loved chocolate so very very much, and whose wall we taped chocolate bars to, and likewise in memory of kristin the fish, and kristinII (who jen.a rudely renamed claire).

i also recommend one be named montgomery.
and likewise millington.

Alright...here's my options:

The black with those weird eyes - Maximillion
The blueish one - Asule (pronounded Ah-sool) which means blue in Spanish
The big white & orange - Ferguson
The little white & orange - Fergie Jr.
The white with yellow - Ma'am Clarice
The chocolate - Charles

*queen elizabeth, big white with orange
*richard the lionheart, little white with orange
*sherriff of nottingham, is the black one
*the yellow spotted one should be "NDIZI" which is swahili for banana,
*The chocolate one should be "Castani" which means 'brown' in Italian
*And Inuit for the blue one. (Or santorini from the blue door in Greece)

I have drawn these fish names from your recent travels to africa, the mediteranean, and soon to be Alaska. I should DEFINETLY get a prize for my amazing creativity and splendor. :)
