Kia Ora Koutou!
Thanks to all those who voted for their favoured names in the name poll!
I am very flattered that so many of you considered my name as the best name for this lovely looking fish!
I have however made the decision to take it out of the running – for the main reason that I do not think students will really ‘get’ the joke.
I also made the decision to remove two other names after learning a bit more about them:
- The very cute name ‘Kaida’ DOES NOT actually mean little dragon. For the sake of not looking bad to our japanese speaking students and colleagues, it is better if we don’t name our fish something incorrect.
2. I’ve also made the executive decision to not put Fishy Mcfishface in the final running. It’s a funny joke, but it is from 2016, when most of our current students were in primary/intermediate school.
This means that the top five remaining names are:
Fin Diesel
Dewey
Neil Finn
Swim Shady
Huckleberry Fin
These five names will now go out to the student body to vote on in Social media for the rest of this week, and we should know the winning name by Monday next week!
Ngā mihi,
Dale
