I have a haj named Ike and a smolhaj named Ang (not from the last air bender). My next haj will be named Kea.

I also have a blue shark (not a blåhaj) named Chompy. Chompy isn't exactly a blåhaj knockoff, because he predates blåhaj :)

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago

We named ours Ida Finn

[–] mxcory@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Mine is named Sharkey. I uhh, am not the most creative person.

[–] FarFarAway@startrek.website 2 points 7 months ago

Its ok, ours is Big Sharkey

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 2 points 7 months ago

Misskey moment :3

[–] lupec@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not yet but I intend to get one soon! No Ikea around here, so probably gonna have to make do with a knockoff as well.

Anyhow, I'm boring so I'll probably just call them Blåhaj lol. Your Gloria is glorious! :D

[–] eya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You can always see if you can order online from their store, their shipping normally isn't abhorrently expensive.

[–] lupec@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Appreciate the thought, I did take a look but they don't ship to my country. Amazon, AliExpress and whatnot do so that's where I'll try to find a decent enough knockoff lol

Edit: Upon closer inspection, it looks like I was mistaken and they are indeed able to ship pretty much anywhere. I'll investigate!

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Wait, we can give them names? I just call mine Blåhaj... °____°

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Also, a bit of self promotion, but don't forget !blahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone for all of your haj needs :)

[–] onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago

I love it! Just posted 🥰

Acquired mini-shonk on Sunday.

No name, for the noble shonk has no use for such a thing.

[–] GloriaTheFox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's my name! That's a beautiful shark btw.

[–] onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Gloria! How many times do I need to tell you to stay off of mommy's phone to create Lemmy accounts!

I swear, if you weren't so stinking cute :P

[–] Leah96xxx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 months ago

I have a big haj called Tony Shark (because he's a memer and it sounds like Tony Stark), and a smolhaj called Findlay, or Finn for short. I also have a tiny kitten wearing a blahaj costume who goes by either Kitty or Cat-shark

[–] cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

She is beautiful. Her mother must have done a very good job in raising her.

[–] onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago

🥹 they grow up so fast

It's getting to a point I find these cheesy comments and I just know it's ada 😏☺️

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago

Not even ashamed :P

I have no haj. Saving up for a bass :(

[–] eya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I haven't named mine yet, but I have two. They are very cute and cuddly.

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago

cute and cuddly.

Sounds like you just named them :P

[–] cirdanlunae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

CRUNCHWRAP!!!

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lunya :3

My smolhaj is cute and cuddly :3

I wanna get more stuffing to fix her tail tho

What stuffing do Hajs use to be so comfy?

[–] onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The sweet sweet stuffing of the hopes and dreams of us trans folk being our authentic selves 🦈🥰

I don't have one yet, but I want to get one, they're so cool. I'd probably either get a classic blue one or a purple one.

[–] Nikki@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

i named my first one Elizabeth, as that is one of many names that i considered when i came out. any more i get will follow that pattern :3
