My Love

You might think I'm a little crazy but, I picked up the only koi I truly wanted for the new pond yesterday. For years I didn't see what people saw in Chagoi's. I always called them rat fish. But in the last year I got hit with the Chagoi bug. I told me wife if I only got one koi for the new pond it was going to be a Chagoi.

Here's a picture of my new love.



She's a 2 year old and 19" long. But I do have a big problem. Out of all the koi we ever had, I think only a hand full got names. Since this is my little girl (and I hope she will not be little for long), she needs a name. Would anyone care to suggest a few names for me? After I get a few names, I will let my daughter pick the name for her. Let the thinking begin.

Thanks!

Tom

Maybe?

Sparkle? or Twinkle? subtle names but still maintain her feminin charm?

How bout' "Turd" as Peter Waddington described it in one of the videos...just joking...Nice pick-up, I saw that Gin Rin Chagoi, I like the eveness of the Gin Rin. I should have went to Kevin's yesterday, but I was at Tom's shop chillin and answering some questions that Dr.Dave had on koi. Remember I am the "Goldfish" expert. HAHAHA. Tom C. I think you should check out Dr.Dave's pond when you are up here again.

Aquitori this was a koi I got from Ken at Eastern. So many dealers had Chagoi's this year, but this one seemed to be every clean. A lot of the Chagoi I saw had shimi's or Hi spots on them. This one said please take me home, so I did. I'm hoping to put 8" or more on her next year. Will see if I can hit my goal.

I was hoping to make it to Kevin's Sunday but some issues came up where I couldn't. They are going to ship me the koi that they are holding for me. It sound like I'm going to have to take a weekend in the spring to come up and see some ponds and some koi. It sound like you guy's have a lot of nice ponds around. If you guy's come to one of the shows next year down here, we will have to have a BBQ for you guy's. By then the koi will be in the pond also.

Echoing Luke's idea: Mia -- short for Mi Amore.

Hi Tom, I tried to post this at KV but I haven't a clue if it went through.... you know how frustrating it's been there lately... I don't seem to get many posts to go through *sigh*
Here it is..

"She's beautiful... How 'bout Charisse - means Grace, Beauty, and Kindness. Or how about a Japanese name, like Emi - "blessed with beauty".

Kind Regards, Terri"

Oh I like Luke and Jason's idea too.. Mia is very pretty.
