I didn't name this lil boy right away when I got him because I truly wasn't sure if he would make it. He was really thin and looked rather blah when I got him. But... well... those of you who know me know that I'm a sucker for an underdog.

Here's a before shot, the day I got him. As you can tell, he must have been hungry, because he's chowing down within half an hour of putting him in his new home.

After eating like a pig two and three times a day (and a nice variety of foods, might I add... none of which he balked at), he's truly changed a great deal.

He needs a name... something to go with my other betta boys. I've got an "american ideal" type thing going, starting out with Life, Liberty, Justice and trailing on down to Honor, Glory, and even such vague connections as Feather (Bald eagle) and Firecracker.

What do you think? Hard to believe it's the same fish, isn't it?

Kitten it is so hard to believe that he is the same little guy As far as a name how about "Shooting Star" that could be fairly closely related and he is a starthat or "Chili Pepper" since he's so red hot Beautiful little boy, glad you got him, and he made it home safe, and uh the folks don't know about himheidi

Amazing what TLC will do. I would be thinking along the lines of Master of change or words meaning the same.

Meow to you, Bill the cat... I rather like the name you suggested. Patriot goes on the list. *grins*

Daka suggested Freedom to me via MSN, which I also like.

I'm liking Star, heidi, but I think I'm going to apply that to another nameless betta boy. Stars and stripes... works for me.

What about Patriot for the above boy.
Freedom for this boy:

And Stars for this one:
