Here is mine ❤️ she may be knock off, but she's huge beautiful and her name is Gloria. I love her very much :D
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 :)
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
You can always see if you can order online from their store, their shipping normally isn't abhorrently expensive.
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!
We named ours Ida Finn
Mine is named Sharkey. I uhh, am not the most creative person.
Its ok, ours is Big Sharkey
Misskey moment :3
Wait, we can give them names? I just call mine Blåhaj... °____°
Also, a bit of self promotion, but don't forget !blahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone for all of your haj needs :)
I love it! Just posted 🥰
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
Acquired mini-shonk on Sunday.
No name, for the noble shonk has no use for such a thing.
That's my name! That's a beautiful shark btw.
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
She is beautiful. Her mother must have done a very good job in raising her.
🥹 they grow up so fast
I have a blahaj named C4
What a banger of a name!
It's getting to a point I find these cheesy comments and I just know it's ada 😏☺️
Not even ashamed :P
I haven't named mine yet, but I have two. They are very cute and cuddly.
cute and cuddly.
Sounds like you just named them :P
I have no haj. Saving up for a bass :(
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?
The sweet sweet stuffing of the hopes and dreams of us trans folk being our authentic selves 🦈🥰
Yiss
CRUNCHWRAP!!!
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.
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
