Meaning & Story
Fish is an English word name for aquatic vertebrates, used as a pet name with deliberate irony or humor — particularly amusing when given to a dog or cat rather than the obvious candidate.
Fish is irony at its finest. When applied to a dog, it suggests either a profound love of the water, an owner with a very specific sense of humor, or both. There's a deadpan quality to Fish that is completely intentional — it's a name that makes people laugh and then think, and then laugh again. For a dog who swims with suspicious skill, or one who begs with the unblinking intensity of a fish at glass, Fish is the most honest name you could possibly choose.
