Common Names
Sailfin molly (English), Breitflossenkärpfling (German), seilfinnemolly (Norwegian), zeilvinkarper (Dutch), molinezja szerokopłetwa (Polish), bubuntis (Tagalog), and molliénésie á voilure or simply "molly voile" (French).
There is some confusion with the Yucatan molly, P. velifera. While most names that contain a "sail" element refer to the present species, the German Segelkärpfling, the Latin velifera and possibly others are used for the Yucatan molly. The French terms are used for both species indiscriminately.

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or names:
“Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no scepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
