Azmina and a fish called Seahorse


During the last year or so, Azmina named her first Barbie "Dos", our Parakeet "Tweet", the pet fighting fish "Seahorse", and her other doll "Lily".
And we have no idea how she names them. I can understand "Tweet", but "Seahorse"?? She knows what a seahorse is and for the life of me, I don't remember showing her any blue seahorses. "Seahorse" by the way, the fighting fish, is blue.
We tried convincing her that Seahorse might not be an appropriate name, because, well... it's a regular fish. We suggested "Blue" or the very appropriate and extremely clever "Fisch", because, and we're trying to teach her logic here, the fish is blue, and it's a fish.
I know she understands all the words that we used to explain this to her, but somehow all seemed illogical to her, except that the fish should be called "Seahorse".
So Seahorse it was, and we told her what a fine name it was for a fish.
