Baby will certainly make a splash in life with a name like Catfish. It will come as no surprise that the name Catfish refers to the species of ray-finned fish known for their barbels or feelers that resemble a cat’s whiskers. But just like your little one, there is so much more to a Catfish than meets the eye. You’ll often find these creatures around their fellow fishy friends, a desire for connection that your baby might share! Catfish are also nocturnal, so be prepared for a few late nights with your little party animal. In Ancient Egyptian art, catfishes appear as a symbol of dominance and resilience, a lovely way to remind baby of their inner strength. Get ready to welcome the newest little fish to your family pond.
