My betas are named Bianca (after Taming of the Shrew) and Nymphadora (after Harry Potter).
Previous betas have included Principessa Amelie Anastasia Satine (after Life is Beautiful, Amelie, Anastasia, and Moulin Rouge), Benjamin Fitzwilliam Edward Logan (after Sweeney Todd, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Veronica Mars), and Henrik (after A Little Night Music/Henrik Ibsen).
No wonder my poor fish keep dying. I give them insane names.
