Naming fish by combining other animal names and fish (i.e. zebrafish) is ok, if not clever. What makes me feel a tiny bit bad is names like butterfish. If a person is called butterjohn, and gets caught and cooked with butter, I feel that is a bit morally wrong.

Not that cooking john with butter itself isn’t morally wrong but..names can have such a strange effect on minds.
