You mean you don’t already have ceremonies to pray to the carp gods?

if a name applies to the character of a fish - how it looks, it's behaviours - a bit of meaning etc then I am all for it - the big common, two tone, one eye, the fat one, the slag (every one's had her)
naming carp after people, relatives or people - all a bit boring & silly.
baing able to name a carp when it gets to a certain weight? LOL LOL LOL - why not go the whole hog, maybe some sort of religious naming ceremony with a carp priest & a bit of a piss up afterwards?

I know that sort of person. I don't mind a chat while fishing and it doesn't necessarily have to be about fishing but what I hate is these walking encyclopedias who can only talk about nothing else other than dates, weights, places and history etc etc
It bores me shltless

It's just human nature, a easy way of categorising something without going round the houses.
I get it for special fish, as in the old days, but with so many fish about nowadays maybe its lost a bit of purpose. As long as it make you happy and all that

Fish should not be named. IMHO
I fished a syndicate lake where the bailiffs son had a name for every fish, If he saw you playing one (he was always at the lake ) he’d run round and grab your net, but before he’d even netted it ( gin clear water) he’d tell you it’s name, weight and when last caught.
I hated that. I like to at least imagine there’s some mystery left in carp fishing.
I have since joined 2 syndicates with pretty much no named fish, just the obvious big ones.

I wonder if it was named for the same reason as the 'Chinese Common'

' The Filipino ' was always a cracker.

I believe that:-
a) It should only be named when at a certain weight (above 30lb)
b) A fish should be named after a characteristic of itself- eg a deformity, unique look, type of fight - Fungus, Pawprint, brute as examples.
c) For sheer humour - i have seen some cracking names in the past that really do make you laugh when you here the origins.
Im not for this new trend of naming every fish as its stocked by the fishery owner personally, understand the reasoning for them to monitor growth and weights but i think it should be a prize for the captor. And i also hate the thing for naming them after relatives.
